So, a funny thing happened on the way to the meltdown of the condo presale market.

It was Matt Durnin, principal of the consultancy Nous Group, who first mentioned his company’s horrific nickname.
In an interview about Nous’s swift and controversial rise to dominance of Canada’s market in strategic management advice to universities, Durnin said Nous remains a company that is “small enough to have a bit of personality.”
So it does. Trouble is, that personality has a dark side. The nickname is “Nousferatu,” as in the vampire, because of what critics describe as a reputation for selling a slash-and-burn template for saving bankrupt universities by making them go...
