It is now time that I bid you all adieu (albeit teary-eyed and heartbroken). I have enjoyed my internship here at DealBreaker more than any other internship I’ve had (slim pickings). I’ve had the privilege of exploring the deep, dark underbelly that is the DealBreaker dungeon and have had an exposure to the lovely, heartwarming comments that you, DealBreaker reader, have adorned me with.
From a meager start of mammaries to a grand finale of Rupert Murdoch, my just over eight weeks here have been a blast. From shocking secrets revealed at the Shake Shack to hoity-toity evenings at the NYPL to Dow Jones employees at the Corporate Challenge to iPhone launch coverage (by far the most fun), my photo essays have shocked millions dozens throughout the nation.
The people who work here are awesome. Bess, Keith, David, and John, thank you so much for everything including the opportunity to work with you for a short while. It has really been an excellent experience for me and I wish you all the best throughout the next months as DealBreaker undoubtedly grows to uncharted territories and new heights.

GOOD JOB KID. SO WHEN WILL YOU LAUNCH YOUR OWN BUSINESS BLOG? OR DID CARNEY HAVE YOU SIGN SOME KIND OF NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT?
I must admit I thought your first piece was the best but overall good job buddy. As for SDH’s comments, you aren’t quite ready to jump out of the crib on your own yet….neither are some of my former interns but hey that isn’t stopping them. Best of luck.
are you talking about EM and PG, eye-patch? They also told me that they are trying to raise capital to manage right out of college. I give them 1:10 odds of getting a critical mass of AUM, but if they manage to find a few benefactors I like their chances. Not so sure about this kid and his wall street tabloid, though.
Scott, you’re hot. Best wishes.
Scott who? What? make sure you do not use this place (where) as a reference. .. except you go into investigative journalism.
I think that kids was turning tricks in the Port Authority bus depot last saturday night.
Isn’t that a pic of Timmy Sykes, age 14, just before he made it as a big shot hedge fund manager?
Scallawag, who are you? I hadn’t taken them seriously to be quite honest….
that’s not Sykes, it’s actually Seth Cohen from the O.C. circa 2001
Nice work Scott. Your iphone reporting was hilarious, and I am sure you have a great career ahead. We’ll keep an eye out for you!
Those mammaries didn’t look “meagre” to me.
They seemed pretty serious. They forwarded us a presentation which was decent. Evidently some billionaire family is interested in seeding them with $10mm, on the condition they can raise another $5mm separately. I think on their end, they need to feel that they will be adequately compensated for the risk they’d be taking by forgoing some pretty good opportunities at existing shops. They were originally going to call it cowboy capital but i think they changed their minds, and it is going to be a value-oriented L/S fund if it gets off the ground. That’s all they told us.
Bye Scott, thank’s a lot and have a nice life!
Scott: (1) Remember to “XYZ” (Examine your zipper) before important meetings and always carry a beer opener because the fancy beers don’t come with the twist off cap. Thus advised, you’ll soon be running Rolling Stone.
Cowboy Capital??? I smell Ft. Worth. Bill is getting desperate. Unless they have some twenty-something eye candy on the trade team who’ll gush about the Chophouse.
Did someone say Ft. Worth?
good luck Scott!
