Jenny Anderson's New York Times profile of Pequot Capital founder Arthur Samberg describes the voyeuristic physical fitness facilities of the hedge fund.
He is best known for his competitive spirit on the basketball court or playing tennis. Pequot's office in Westport, Conn., has a basketball court built into the center of the building. Its Manhattan office has a glassed-in gym with video games, an unusual installation that allows visitors to watch Pequot executives maintaining their competitive edge away from their desks.
A glassed-in gym? We’re not sure what the point of this is but it’s totally hot. Anyone have pictures? Email to tips(at)dealbreaker(dot)com.
[Oh. And yes. That picture is SNL's Andy Samberg. Not Arthur. We couldn't find a picture of Arthur Samberg.]

Yeah that's Andy not Arthur, but they are probably related. The both have that ashkenazi look to them.
Besides his competitive spirit, he is also known at the SEC for his ponzi scheme, making $12 billion disappear without a trace.
