Pirate Capital Founder's Betrothed To Advise Him On A Few New Positions In Order To Better Retain Clients

Posted by Bess Levin, Mar 11, 2008, 11:13am

tom hudson hat.jpgI’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.

two names that don't belong together --> Virginia & Zampella

Posted by guest, Mar 11, 2008 11:42AM

I've made a huge mistake

wtf BSC?
Anyone have a clue why stock $10 off todays high?

Posted by guest, Mar 11, 2008 11:52AM

there is no way this is true. This has to be a hoax.. until I hear or see confirmation from someone within Pirate or from TH himself this is ll garbage... besides.. who cares

Posted by Formerly FEPWJ, Mar 11, 2008 11:59AM

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.

http://arrestinquiryweb.co.mecklenburg.nc.us/ArrestBrowse.aspx?LastName=zampella&FirstName=virginia&PID=&Arrest=&ArrestDate=&LastDayArrests=

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

Posted by guest, Mar 11, 2008 12:08PM

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.

Posted by guest, Mar 11, 2008 12:13PM

Hope his ex is filing the custody paperwork as this goes to print. Slimy mcnasty and skanky mcwhite trash should not be around children.

Posted by guest, Mar 11, 2008 12:15PM

She lost 3 inches and 12 lbs between arrests?!

Posted by modskool, Mar 11, 2008 12:17PM

ooh la la, she's french! I'm dying to know how she got arrested for assaulting a gov't employee.

Posted by guest, Mar 11, 2008 12:24PM

@ 12:01

The DUI picture is definitely much better.

Posted by guest, Mar 11, 2008 12:31PM

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.

Posted by guest, Mar 11, 2008 12:46PM

she's pretty fucking cute in those mugshots.

Posted by Formerly FEPWJ, Mar 11, 2008 12:51PM

Agreed, the DUI picture is better. So cute, I wonder if he's going to build her a mausoleum of her own next to the trailer park that she came from....

Posted by guest, Mar 11, 2008 12:53PM

The Orange Mecklenburg County Jail jumper really brings out her eyes.

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.

Posted by guest, Mar 11, 2008 1:00PM

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 1:11PM

He has 4 exes??????

-The Forehead Slapper

Posted by guest, Mar 11, 2008 2:35PM

so I'm confused...she IS a hooker right?

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.

Posted by guest, Mar 11, 2008 4:20PM

This is the story of the day. Forget Spitzer, this is a true classic.

Posted by guest, Mar 11, 2008 4:32PM

Nice myspace pic V. were you going for the fat bucktoothed look or was it sheer luck that you captured it? Does V stand for VD or Vagina?

Posted by guest, Mar 11, 2008 5:02PM

wow. you would think that the hr manager would have caught this one with a simple google search. he/she must have been out to lunch when tom brought her in for the "interview".

Posted by guest, Mar 11, 2008 5:09PM

wow. you would think the hr manager would have caught this one with a simple google search. he/she must have been out to lunch when tom brought her in for the "interview"

Posted by guest, Mar 11, 2008 5:12PM

Wow she has actually changed her myspace picture since this was originally posted...unless myspace does that automatically or something..im a facebook man myself

Posted by guest, Mar 11, 2008 8:01PM

$20 says he proposed and offered to buy her new boobs in the same breath

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 6:59AM

Does Tom Hudson have a brain tumor? He's kinda like the britney spears of unprofitable hedgefunds only not as likeable and not yet photographed with his balls hanging out. (pretty sure that's soon to come though)

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 7:26AM

@6:59
Rumor has it those photos would have to be taken through a micorscope to shoot them tic tacs. Virgina Zampella is one lucky lady. oh, did I say lady, i meant boozing ho.

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 7:54AM

What will they tell their kids when they ask how mommy and daddy met? Well, see kids there is this thing called craig's list and you can buy anything...

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 7:56AM

Boobies, Boobies, Boobies, Boobies, Booooooobbbbbbiiiieeeessss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Tommy H

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 8:00AM

Hey V- what's you get for V-day? Lemmee guess, Isa's Cartier necklace? No, how about Gabe's panties? Word is you'll wear anything his exes left behind when they dumped your man.

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 8:49AM

Dude whats up with her teeth? Looks like she eats rocks.

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 9:34AM

Was it a nurse at the free clinic or the postman who didn't bring her welfare check quick enough? We've all wanted to smack the dmv clerk, but no one actually does it.

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 1:46PM

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.

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 1:57PM

He named his new fund after his ex-girlfriend? Freaking idiot.

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 1:59PM

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.

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 5:38PM

when will someone be posting the half naked raunch shots from sugardaddy?

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 5:39PM

Kristen's career as a "bathing suit model" is about to take off so there will be an opening at the emperor's club soon. If Virginia Zampella can lose 20 lbs, stop getting arrested and learn to wash her hair she wont have to sleep with Tom Hudson anymore.

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 5:41PM

according to linked in she was an "executive" (read admin) at a beer wholesaler in Charlotte too... anyone get info from the HR manager there? I'd love to hear THAT one

http://www.linkedin.com/pub/4/088/864

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 5:43PM

You know Bess has em, but she wont post em. Must have been real high end trademarked stuff.

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 5:49PM

The beer wholesaler job explains the drunk driving charge, but how about the assault charge.

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 5:50PM

Put on a happy face and dance monkey dance. simply fabulous.

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 5:51PM

someone get into her myspace and jack those pics UP

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 5:55PM

a quarter says Chris Kelly has increased his periodic visits to his car, a.k.a. intraday booze breaks, tenfold. Everyone knows youre an alchoholic Chris. Man up and just drink at your desk. You deserve it with what youve gone through, covering up your boss's illegal trading activity, solicitation, fraud, tax evasion, etc. cmon have another scotch on all of the ex pirates. Just dont do it in private anymore. Thats just creepy and sad.

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 6:02PM

Just look at her cheesy myspace pic in the new pirate uniform and imagine her bent over with her legs spread smiling at the camera through her knees. Oh and slathered in coco butter or ky jelly. Guaranteed thats her sugar profile pic. if shes even that classy.

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 6:07PM

Hey, thats the future ex Mrs. Thomas R Hudson Jr. IV youre talking about! She's got a title after all.

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 6:27PM

It really is just you against the world Tommy. You're either the world's biggest f**k up or you really pissed God off in a past life.

Posted by guest, Mar 12, 2008 9:18PM

YOU GUYS THINK SHE'LL GET A SPOT IN THAT MAUSOLEUM?? PS, i pissed on your beemer tommy and steph tran took a chinese dump on it.

Posted by guest, Mar 13, 2008 9:38AM

That is gross and fu**ing hysterical, but keep ST out of this. She's real good peeps.

Posted by guest, Mar 13, 2008 9:45AM

Headline should have read "Tom Hudson forced to recruit from Mechlenberg County Jail -wives & employees that is." Pic should have been Virginia Zampella's most recent mugshot.

Posted by guest, Mar 13, 2008 11:44AM

According to her linkedin profile she went to Oak Hill Academy -- if that's the hs basketball powerhouse then I wonder how many members of the basketball team she hasn't bonked! good work guys.

Posted by guest, Mar 13, 2008 2:40PM

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

Posted by Formerly FEPWJ, Mar 13, 2008 6:35PM

Option #4 for sure....

Posted by guest, Mar 13, 2008 7:05PM

Heard the rehearsal dinner is at Cosmo's.

Posted by guest, Mar 13, 2008 7:22PM

My money is on 2 and 4

Posted by guest, Mar 13, 2008 7:33PM

She has to go through with it since she has nothing to go home to and cant work any legit job with a record. He will go through with it because hes too stupid to reaalize you dont marry a whore you just pay he for sex as you go. so #5

Posted by guest, Mar 14, 2008 8:51AM

Whats up with the shit eating grin in her dui pick? Never seen anyone so happy to be spending the night in a city jail.

Posted by guest, Mar 14, 2008 8:58AM

She's a perfect addition to Hudson's family.

Posted by guest, Mar 14, 2008 9:09AM

Let's everyone wish Virginia Zampella good luck at her court date on monday. Good Luck Virginia!!!!!!!!!

Posted by guest, Mar 14, 2008 10:25AM

I wonder if Virginia Zampella told Tom she was just going home for a quick weekend visit or if Tom Hudson will be there in court to support his sweet little jailbird. That photo op would be priceless.

Posted by guest, Mar 17, 2008 12:29PM

Virgina's gonna get a li'l Cap'n inside

Posted by guest, Mar 17, 2008 5:33PM

Anyone have any info on the court date today? DYING over here!

Posted by guest, Mar 18, 2008 5:49PM

I’m fairly certain the DA amended the charges against Virginia Zampella to include Tom Hudson with at least 3 counts of 1st Degree Douchebaggery

Posted by guest, Mar 21, 2008 10:21AM

This guy is a joke - marrying someone he met online after such a short time. I can't believe that investors keep their money with him.....

Posted by guest, Mar 23, 2008 1:44PM

anyone heard that Pirate closing down?

Posted by guest, Mar 23, 2008 2:07PM

Pirate will probably have their electricity shut off by the end of April. Nice work Hudson.

Posted by guest, Apr 28, 2008 2:06PM

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.

Posted by guest, May 13, 2008 6:50PM

http://www.classmates.com/profile/user/view/photos?registrationId=2656113

Please sign her guest register for Oak Hill. She's "class" of '97.

Posted by guest, May 14, 2008 3:54PM

I'm confused. If Ms. Zampella is a prostitute as has been alleged, why would Tom marry her when he could just write checks? I guess marrying her would be cheaper in the long run?

Posted by guest, May 14, 2008 7:21PM

rumor has it she already took the money and ran. i wonder how hudson explains his 4th failed marriage to his family. oh how proud they must be.
