malsperanzaThis is from Samuel Pepys's diary for October 8, 1665:
"Sir Martin Noell’s lady is dead with griefe for the death of her husband ... but it seems nobody can make anything of his estate, whether he be dead worth anything or no, he having dealt in so many things, publique and private, as nobody can understand whereabouts his estate is, which is the fate of these great dealers at everything.
Apparently he was a dealer in mortgage-backed derivative securities.
