Let’s Get Serious

We’re getting flooded by emails from analysts complaining that the posts this morning have a been a bit fluffy, and not the serious business journalism they come to DealBreaker for during the workday. “When I log on to your site, I expect hardcore market analysis and not meaningless bull shit that I can’t use to get ahead. DealBreaker is supposed to inform, educate and edify me, teaching me things about the industry in which I ply my trade that I didn’t know and for one reason or another, DealBreaker’s editors do,” one of you wrote. You want it, you got it:


doug fil and friend.jpg21st century’s Mother Theresa, Filomena Tobias, may have been an adulteress. According to dead hedge fund manager Seth Tobias’s personal assistant Billy Ash, AKA Mr. Madam, a Ft. Lauderdale-based gay pimp (insofar that he is both gay and a pimp) who claims Tobias had a drug and alcohol addiction, a volatile relationship with his wife (which was a cover for his homosexuality), “many” male mistresses, including an exotic dancer from the local Palm Beach gay club (Cupids) known to friends and clients as Tiger, Lady Macbeth had a boyfriend at the time her husband’s death by drowning by voodoo. And he wasn’t just any old boyfriend, he was a CELEBRITY FITNESS TRAINER (name: Doug Caporrino). Mr. Ash was good enough to forward a couple emails from Doug to Fil., which speak for themselves:

Hey there,
Thank you so much for talking yesterday. Your voice and wisdom are always calming. It’s so funny that there are so many feelings so quickly between us. I don’t question it, only wonder why it took so long for 2 people from Hoboken to find a way into each others lives.
Your a beautiful soul and I just wanted you to know that I see more than just the outside beauty.
Big hugs

You make EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE AND EVERY EVENT SPECIAL ……IT WAS YOUR DAY AND MORE THAN ANYTHING I WISH I COULD HAVE COME AND HAVE DINNER AND CELEBRATE WITH YOU …THAT WAS MY TRUE INTENTION !!!!!
LOVE YOU FOR ALWAYS ,
DOUG

Pretty damning stuff, eh? And I agree on the Hoboken point. The one thing that does make me say “Waiiiiiit just one second,” is the salutation on the April 27th email, because it’s oddly reminiscent of the way Mr. Ash signed his last message to me. Am I saying that Filomena didn’t drug and murder her Tiger-loving husband in order to a. inherit his $25 million estate and b. live with her boy toy in peace? No, I’m not saying that at all. Am I saying that two guys, one gay and one questionably gay, couldn’t both end their correspondences with “hugs”? I’m not saying that either. I’m just say that in a murder case in which both myself and Andrew Ross Sorkin are completely convinced that all of the allegations are true, especially the part about Tiger and Seth Tobias spending a lot of time together “at the tracks,” and Tiger not being able to remember whether or not he’d had sex with Tobias, this gives me pause.

    One problem: these people haven’t lived in Hoboken for years. Its 100% frat boys.

    “”When I log on to your site, I expect hardcore market analysis and not meaningless bull shit ”
    Are we reading the same blog?

    @Anonawhat…thinking that was a joke about carney’s posts.

  8. Posted by forehead slapper | January 17, 2008 at 11:25 AM

    the joke is that carney thinks his posts are hardcore business analysis.

    what’s missing is the tabloid part – no sex, no scandal, no voyeurism, no bitching, no fun.
    all work and and no play – you know what they say.

    @11:25 the joke is on you mate. Stop reading this blog, hair will grow on your palms.

    11:46, we do our best but people have been behaving so decently lately that we have to resort to almost committing acts of financial journalism. The horrors.
    Anyway, with this speed dating thing and the budding romance between “girl” and “1-2,” we’re doing our best to gin up new scandal.

    now this is exactly the kind of journalism i want to see from DB. well done bess.

  15. Posted by Not John Carney | January 17, 2008 at 12:54 PM

    Why doesn’t everybody get off Carney’s dick? If you don’t like his shit, just don’t read it……..I agree that Bess is the coolest, hottest, sexiest, and funniest girl in the universe (call me), but there’s no reason that Mr. Carney needs to take this abuse from the Junior-Junior-Analysts who simultaneously find it humorous and derive a greater sense of self-worth from putting him down. (end rant)
    P.S. – have no clue why I felt the need to post that

    Wait, Bess is Jewish?

    I feel Filomena did kill Seth Tobias. Filomena has hired more law firms than even OJ had. The police are waiting for the medical examiner to rule and they are making sure there case will stick. Filomena wasn’t even in Seth’s will. Anyone can check the status of the Seth Tobias case it’s public record.

    First let me tell you that Billy Ash did great at the depostion and told the truth on what he was told happened that night. Billy was not in Florida the night Filomena killed Seth and only knows what Filomena told him. Billy has passed a polygraph. The tox report confirms his story on what he was saying for 5 months. It’s sad that Filomena killed her husband Seth Tobias and her third husband Jay Jacknin told her to use his cell phone when talking to Billy in case her phones were taped. It’s also sad that Jay Jacknin got on and called Billy from his office, cell and than several times from his home to tell him to lie in probate that call was taped. It’s very sad that Billy Ash had to hire a private P.I.’s to go and get statements from all past workers of Filomena’s and Jay’s that they pay there workers in cash and won’t give 1099′s and than make threats about taxes when the worker’s don’t do as ordered and Jay’s office represents that area for taxes. Filomena killed Seth. The tox reports are out and his body contained ambien. Jay broke the law and knew he was doing it since he is an attorney. Jay has made claims in the past that Filomena cheated on him, was doing lots of drugs, and threatened to kill him. Filomena killed Seth Tobias. Billy feels very sorry for her but wasn’t going to go to jail and cover up her crime as Jay Jacknin did. God Bless Filomena and I hope she doesn’t get death. Billy is awaiting Jay’s next move before he starts filing massive amounts of law suits against Jay and Filomena, but Billy said the paper work is ready to go. Billy does feel sorry for Filomena’s two youngest kids but a crime is a crime and both of there parents are in the middle of crimes. I hope Filomena doesn’t get death but she did kill Seth Tobias.

    The Jupiter police have confirmed the case has been sent to the D.A. February 7. We should hear an answer in 7 to 14 days. Also the M.E. reports are not on line Filomena and Nancy. It was huge amounts of crushed ambien in his system. Filomena murdered Seth Tobias. Look at all the facts.

    Cops Hand Over Seth Tobias Case To The D.A. Filomena has been seen at the pool of The Palm Beach Breakers living it up! Look at the facts in the case. It sure looks like murder to me! There is a full page story on page 22 in The Globe and a cover story coming next week. Filomena cancelled her depostion because they are expecting an arrest and don’t want any statements under oath. God Bless Bill Ash for coming forward!
