This man was spotted outside the Federal Reserve Bank of New York yesterday at 11:20 am.
[EV Grieve via Curbed]
What was he doing there?
a. This is Ben Bernanke’s freshman year roommate, Chet. Bernanke was at the branch office this week and here we see Chet waiting outside with his souped up El Camino nearby, about to transport Ben and himself to this weekend’s Renaissance Fair. Benji has been a Medieval culture vulture since his college days at Harvard. If only we had a shot of them pulling out of the parking lot, which was apparently made difficult by the fact that their jousts were sticking out of the rear passenger window.
b. Disgruntled Bear employee, there to avenge the bailout.
c. A member of Cayne’s Crew. Apparently on Thursdays, they go to Medieval Times and dress in full attire. The fact that they’re outside the Fed is meaningless, they just ended up there, though, to be sure, when Cayne spotted Timothy F. Geithner, he shouted, “Oh shit, we gotta bail.” Moments earlier, just outside the photo, Cayne, in his extra-snug garb, was seen vomiting through his mask.
d. Your call.
lost his way from the set of the Amex commercial.

e. He’s the newest member of the GSAM analyst class of 2008 and he’s waiting for his movers to finish hauling his stuff into 2 Gold Street. Since all his clothes are packed, this was the only thing available to where. He will soon complete training and take is rightful position among his fellow the geniuses at Global Alpha, though he is afraid the group’s performance may make him look foolish, ruining his exit opportunity to Diamond Castle where the above attire is not tolerated but encouraged.
I told him bess was looking for her knight in shining armor.
He’s a third year analyst from Bear who was recently let go and is desperate to find a job. He erroneously believes this building to be the Headquarters of Fortress because, well, it looks like a Fortress and believes this is their required dress code. Sadly, though unsurprisingly, he was actually the brightest Bear analyst in his class.
A Ron Paul supporter awaiting his meeting with Bernanke to make his case that the solution to the financial crisis is to bring back the gold standard, cause this shit didn’t happen when we were using pieces of eight instead of dollars.
its the personification of bess’ soul out on its daily 10-6 excursion

d. Dick Fuld, waiting for his reaming now that he knows the window will be closing in September. He tried firing a woman to save his job but that didn’t work, now he’s here for his bailout.
@ beckybootfan – I thought about going that route, well done.
Wondering why there’s no dragon guarding the princess inside and feeling like a moron for getting all suited up and forgetting his sword.
