Ridiculously Fake Hedge Fund Manager Uncovered!

By Bess Levin

Of course you remember that territastic party thrown two weeks ago for Wall Streeters who want to meet Fashionistas and vice versa. But do you remember Prescott Hahn, the self-styled hedge fund manager who was photographed by the New York Post with two allegedly fashionable girls? The intrepid investigative team at Gawker did some digging, and it turns out he’s not a hedge fund manager at all.
First clue: his card lists his job as “hedge fund manager.”

    A commenter on Gawker posted something funny – that douchebag has a butt-chin! Fantastic
    Dont REAL hedge fund managers not say “hedge fund manager” on their business card? It usually says like VP or MD or Manager or something obtruse like that…

    Surprised that the word “rock” wasn’t in the name of the alleged firm.

    Call the number and listen to the voicemail greeting… guy sounds like JW Bottomtooth.
    Philip Hahn makes Tim Sykes seem credible… sad day indeed.

    Well, well, well. Once again, bloggers have sniffed out truth and justice the American way. I recently came across the astute observations of a guest blogger who had connected the dots beteen Gasbagarino, DB, the piece about Dick Bove and Mike Mayo. Apparently, Wall Street executives like Jimmy Cayne, John Thain, John Mack, Dick Fuld, Loyd Blankfein, etc have instructed their respective staffs to have no contact with Gasbagarumor due to his erroneous information, hostile nature and moronic observations. Despit this, the blogger has observed, Mike Mayo appears to be a frequent and anonymous source for the on-airhead editor. Oooops, he/she points out, watch yourself Mike – you’re next to be fired!
    So, here’s the rub: I cut and posted this astute posting a number of times. However, it has been removed by someone with administrative access. Hmmm. One can only conclude that some collusion between Carney, the Gasbag and Mike Mayo to mislead the blogosphere is in play here. Big mistake guys – you don’t want to lose your loyal followers! Better that the bad guys be exposed for what they truly are -fucking stupid.

    (From his blog): “My firm atheism was badly shaken at the event, where I met not one but two six-foot-three-inch models. The aesthetic sense is the only proof of God I could ever accept. I suppose it’s a crisis of faithlessness?
    One of the girls promptly attempted to forget how to speak English when I asked for her number but she eventually relented after being cornered.”
    He sounds so charming!
