Merrill Lynch CEO and amateur beekeeper John Thain’s daughter, Victoria, was robbed last Friday. The thieves apparently entered the Duke junior’s apartment via bedroom window, stole $9,000 worth of stuff including her wallet, camera, and TV, and exited through the front door. Run of the mill burglary or a strategic hit from one of the many enemies daddy’s racked up over the years? The fact that nothing was taken from any of Victoria’s roommates seems to imply the latter. Suspects include: Jon Corzine, Stan O'Neal, bears and vegans, which is to say—Dan Loeb. Either way, she should thank her lucky stars that the phantom defecator couldn't get the funds together for a trip down South.

maybe the thief just wanted her collection of tacky forever 21 tops and rhinestone tiaras, then stole the other shit to make it look legit?

Different standards apply to students. F21 is not tacky. Jeffrey is.

I might consider giving back the wallet, but I'm keeping the smudged photo of Mr. Robot in tights with leg warmers.

This event could be a preview of darker things to come. You never know. There are a lot of pissed-off people on this planet. Pissed off at Wall Street. Pissed off at the thieves on Hedge Street who have been stealing with both hands for years. Pissed off at the celebrety CEO types who are outrageous in their "I've got mine, and now I have yours too" attitudes.

Donating to McCain at such a young age?

Lots of people show up on donor lists at a young age legitimately. She's even cuter knowing that she's not a stereotypical trustafarian/obama girl.
But girl did win the thread!

@6:38 @7:40 Not sure how much importance should be assigned to that campaign contribution. Dig a little deeper and you'll see her mom and dad contributing the same amount. I have a feeling dad funded all three, which is standard practice in order to get around the individual contribution limits. Its not like daughter sent McCain the money she earned babysitting.

It would impress me if she joined ROTC. Could help, given that we're going to be in Iraq for the next 100 years. Or hasn't she heard?

A college student with $9K worth of shit in her room?!? Seems like an insurance scam.
Then again, perhaps it was just a bad bet on Duke being peremptorily collected.
Posted by guest , Mar 25, 2008 10:31AM
Dude, I am like amazed at how LOW 9k is. If my dad were CEO NYSE/MER then you can be damn sure that there would be at least $100k of shit in my room!
Posted by guest , Mar 25, 2008 10:40AM
9k is not a lot if you have a tv, a computer, or even a basic ammount of jewelry for an upper middle class girl let alone a daughter of thain.
also, @10:48, you are an idiot.
Posted by GinNTonic , Mar 25, 2008 10:51AM
Stealing 9k worth of crap is not too hard. But out the front door of a dorm? What year is she?

A rolex Lady steel/gold is $6+K
Posted by guest , Mar 25, 2008 10:56AM
what kind of loser wears a rolex in college?
or after college for that matter?
Posted by guest , Mar 25, 2008 11:48PM
10:56AM- you'd be surprised..
I know some girl called daddy and said "daddy I want this." Freshman. Certain New England liberal arts college.
9K is not that bad. Rolex could be 6k, and designers purses are also a couple grand a pop. middle-class NYU chicks run around manhattan with these. and we're talking about daughter of Thain here.
