I’m having just as good a time as the next guy writing about fucking hookers but let’s take a quick break from that and talk about love—Pirate Capital founder Tom Hudson is getting married. The lucky lady is Virginia Zampella, who Hudson met on SugarDaddyForMe.com. As girlfriends of the pirate are wont to do, Zampella has unofficially appointed herself office manager, with T-bone’s approval.
Allegedly, her first order of business was to get rid of all the women who worked there prior to her being hired/engaged. Next: turn things around at the floundering, 15-large AUM hedge fund. Now, I know what you must be asking yourselves—where does Zampella get off thinking she can “get things back on track” at Pirate, which is what she’s supposedly telling people she plans to do? The answer lies in her prior work experience, which maybe includes being employed as a call girl in New York and Charlotte, and starring in a few adult films. If anything, Virginia runs the risk of classing/smartening the place up a bit too much for the ragtag crew of scallywags, buggerers and alpha destroyers. What’s more, the future Mrs. Hudson #4 has a criminal record (mugshot TK). What I’m getting at is that she’d be probably be more comfortable at a place like GSAM. I’ll make some calls.

Bess please tell us a photo is coming. I can't wait to see what this one looks like. On a side note I once tried to pitch RICK to the fund. Too bad he was too busy meeting his (ex or soon to be ex)wives there and didn't listen.

Two hot mugshots above folks. Last arrest was less than 4 months ago. Background checks must abound at Pirate.

Anyone who wants to verify the details should email Virginia@piratecapitalllc.com or tom@piratecapitalllc.com. They're spreading the news of thier happy engagement to anyone who asks or doesn't ask. And she's got a huge honking ring to prove it.

Virginia Zampella, What's the going rate for a violent drunk on SugarDaddy these days? Did Hudson get a discount since you are all tired and worn out already? Nicely done Tommy. You finally landed one worthy of your class and refinement.

Her myspace quote "- Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they're supposed to run wild until they find someone -- just as wild -- to run with. - "
While both dashingly handsome and debonair, I'm not sure Thomas R Hudson Jr. would qualify as wild in the lamest of circles.

I know a HF man-dir who was dating a beautiful, talented, classy physician ...... Then he met a paralegal (former exotic dancer) who owned a small cabin cruiser with a "stripper pole" on the back and very uninhibited friends. Away goes the lady doc and hello paralegal!!
They've been married for six months but he doesn't seem happy.
They live in a city served by Southwest Airlines if you must know.

Posted by guest , Mar 11, 2008 3:59PM
Depends on how you define hooker. she sells her a** to crusty old rich dudes for cash, but only one at a time and she has to pretend to not want to vomit when she has sex with them. In many cultures that is called a wife. Hooker, wife, probably closer to a ho, but who's to judge? Go V-Jay-Jay get your skank on.

Actually those are some elephants balls he's got. He's actually trying to scrounge up suckers who would put a penny into his newest lame venture http://www.isapartnersllc.com/ knowing he hires and marries criminals, can't keep any of his funds profitable or any of his investment team members except kids. Tom Hudson isn't competent to manage his kid's piggy bank let alone someone elses millions.

So, sugardaddyforme.com is a prostitution site or no? How much did Virginia Zampella charge? My guess is less than Spitzer was paying. Guess he wanted a classier piece than Hudson.

ok, so basically theres a few possible outcomes...
1- hudson calls off the engagment because he realizes hiring and marrying a gold- digging criminal is bad for business
2- pirate capital closes its doors because all investors and fellow board of directors have learned tom hired and married said gold-digging criminal
3- virginia calls off the engagement after realizing tom is minutes away from losing it all. and really what would stop her, she could sell the ring and buy another mobile home
4- they have a horrible argument just days before the wedding about who gave who the clap. wedding postponed until antibiotics take effect
5- they have a beautiful ceremony at beamers and they both live happily ever after... or at least until trial

so what Hudson do with no fund and no one to yell and scream at as he did with all the employees, and even some investors, and just basically treat like crap because he thinks now that he is rich he can... I guess his kid should start wearing padding around teh house and I hope that this new girlfriend likes it rough...
Posted by guest , May 13, 2008 6:44PM
I'm guessing the big smile in the mug shot was her "get out of jail free" card. Ol' Mr. Hudson may be getting sloppy seconds to some Mecklenburg County Sherriff's deputy.

yes met in person...there is another one a new lady.
i live close to wear he lives, glad i didnt stick around to be dumped and replaced before the ink is even dry on the marriage papers.
hope he had a good prenup with the last one.
his new addition to the house is a hopeful way to get the ladies to stay and allow him to have his other sluts on the side. sometimes its embarressing to even think i wasted time, or energy on him after reading all these articals. Glad i wasnt able to become famous on here for messing with him lol

Posted by guest , Sep 25, 2008 9:26AM
That's an easy one it comes in a 5 step program::
1. as soon as every trace of Toms last fling is completely untraceable as if it had never existed so he doesnt even have to tell her.
2. as soon as she drops her whole life and surrounds everything that is Tom around her and NOTHING else. This involves moving in with him leaving everything and everyone behind for his life his taste his everything.But not his spending money thats only for him...whats left of it.
3. as soon as Tom can confirm she is able to reproduce properly and ASAP. Babies need to be made right away!!!
4. as soon as her whole life is in his complete control. Family, Friends, clothing, food, even what is watched on tv.
5. as soon as Tom makes sure this girl has no clue what a manipulative liar and con-man he is in life family and business.
Once these few steps are made sure of completion upon full inspection...when this girl is completely senseless to anything she will be ready to become that next blushing bride.....
Sign up now and you will get all this great stuff plus as a bonus well throw in the psychotic ex wife, spolied crybaby son, backstabbing mother and sister duo. And all those unforgattable nights with Tom Hudson....Can you feel the love!!!
Limited time only because this one moves FAST!!!!!

I have been to the "penthouse" Back when Holly was still running things. spent time with his son, seeing his new renovated home that is fit for someone to live alone.
In the bedroom department all is true as stated above. You would think with all these women he would be a good lover, but its all about him, and his needs. He sure makes you think for a split second that your special, and then you blink. But hey great learning experience!!!!
