I’ve long wondered whether or not at one time being employed by Amaranth Advisors would be the professional equivalent of pulling a Merrill e.g. would it make you unemployable (except at Bear Stearns or Think Equity — the IB equivalent of Frank Stallone)? Apparently the answer is ‘no,’ but a qualified no, that qualification being that you’re neither Brian Hunter nor Nick Maounis. For instance, former AA chief operating officer Charles Winkler recently joined multi-strategy shop Hudson Bay Capital, and the entire investor relations team, which was known for being all sorts of “cheesy hot,” found work at Scores (watch for them on “Happy Hour” next week).
Sadly, not everyone has had as much luck as Fonzie and the girls. Though Brian Hunter technically owns his own firm, insiders say that the market manipulator’s venture is really just a front to fund legal fees associated with suing various websites for merely sharing his ideas on how he plans to fuck future clients. AA founder Rick Moranis is now in Tampa, trying, unsuccessfully so far, to get a telemarketing firm that defrauds the elderly off the ground. Anyway. I think we all know what time is:
Ex-Amaranth COO Joins N.Y. Multi-Strat Shop [FINalternatives]
“Rick Moranis”
We have one at my firm, I seriously think hes half retarded. Makes sense the firm lost so much money
…if it smells like fish, eat it.
delish looking salmon
It’s tough to find the bait you need to catch that kind of fish. He must me a master baiter.
IPO on my face!
is that bess with the black A tee?
Maybe instead of telemarketing scams Rick Moranis should spend his time trying to invent a contraption to shrink kids and other items.
Yeah Yeah Yeah. What I want to know is when is Bess going to be on Conan. And not “on Conan” in the sense of what someone must have done to get Erin Burnett on air.
Bess, now would be a great time for the chimp holding the fish….oh. Wrong picture, but close enough.
god…that thing smells like an equity analyst…
is that really a salmon? I only know the stuff in the case at Zabars
what’s with the Bear Stearns hating? I am new to the site. It seems to be a reoccuring theme.
“AA founder Rick Moranis is now in Tampa, trying, unsuccessfully so far, to get a telemarketing firm that defrauds the elderly off the ground. ”
Fucking MEOW!
10 bucks says that after he takes the picture he goes home and consamates his marriage to it.
A Google search for reoccuring returned only this…Did you mean: recurring?
Charlie Winkler is actually boning one of the cheesy investor relation girls right now…
Wow I am new to this. Yes Yass, I meant recurring. I never new there were nobs like you cruising blogs correcting spelling. Thank you.
@5:48 – wtf? “I never new…”
Did you mean “I never knew”?
Seriously, you need to clean that shit up
i know three guys who are running $2B of high-yield money now. wouldn’t worry about their welfare.
Lay off Bess regarding the spelling… this is a blog not the next great american novel.
@ Rahodeb–
I actually have the next greatest american novel for you, its amazing, and really the deserving of its name, everyone (bess especially) are going to knock ‘em dead!
the spelling nazis were talking to a commenter, not bess.
“Huckleberry Finn” is the great American novel.
Most of the back office people went to Merrill to start a back-office hedge fund hotel type of thing
There is no one from Amaranth in Merrill. Just the two of us. Rest all left.
There’s more than two….I think 9 or 10
