Unfortunately, none of you correctly guess yesterday's blind item re: which hedge fund manager pays his employees by sticking semen-soaked fifties all over their bodies. Here's another one, once again courtesy of Radar. It may initially appear to be slightly less salacious than the last, but once the subject is correctly identified, I'm sure we'll able to figure out his kink of choice, or assign him one.
"These sleazy banker types came up to us and asked if they could join our table," Heather recalls. At first she told them to get lost, but she relented after the men ordered a cheese plate and some nice wine. One of the guys took a seat next to Heather and, after some small talk, disclosed that he had just left his wife. "I'm looking to spend my money," he said. He was fiddling with a cash clip stuffed with $100 bills. She accepted his business card and later Googled him. The man turned out to be a honcho at a major investment firm; the New York Times had profiled a charity he had started.The next morning she called his office. "I got shaky when he answered," she recalls, "but when he figured out it was me, it was better." That night she went to his apartment in Trump Tower. "It was pretty straightforward. He offered me $3,000 to let him fuck me. I almost leaped on him."

@5-- hmm...don't think 'investment firm' = hedge fund?

These assbags with far more $ than game are seriously ruining it for the rest of us, setting a dangerous precedent...
Posted by guest , Aug 20, 2008 10:53AM
@4-- also, Robin Hood was founded in 1988, and this anecdote is about 2005, and says the charity had "recently" be started.

@6 - Do you think #5 is doing some sort of metacommentary by referring to their own post?

"he had just left his wife"
PTJ has never been divorced.
Posted by guest , Aug 20, 2008 11:00AM
@9: "leaving his wife" can mean just that for one evening, as in: "honey, I have to leave you alone tonight to go to a business event". Divorcing is an entirely different matter.

#14 - He merely started the charity - article specifically does not say WHEN said charity was started, just that the Times profiled a charity that he founded. Could be #12's Rob Davis guess,easily.
Posted by guest , Aug 20, 2008 11:07AM
Where does it say that the charity had recently been started? "The man turned out to be a honcho at a major investment firm; the New York Times had profiled a charity he had started." The review might be recent (not necessarily, either), but the charity needn't.

When Carney is mentioned in these types of situations, I get an image of a guy waving around a clip of Monopoly bills (not to be confused with coloured Canadian dollarettes).

Where does Rob Davis work?
Posted by guest , Aug 20, 2008 11:35AM
I Googled - it's some place called Merlin Securities but he was with B of A before that, and with a place called SDS in CT.
Posted by guest , Aug 20, 2008 11:55AM
Well, that's why they call it a piece of you-know-what. You'll never get the whole thing, pardon the pun.
Posted by guest , Aug 20, 2008 12:00PM
Rob Davis is a highly unlikely suspect:
1. He is not, in my experience, given to flashing rolls of $100s.
2. While he has spent most of his career in prime brokerage, he does not fit the
"sleazy" anything model; think polite, personable and occasionally entertaining accountant.
3. Hedge Fund Scare was established in 1998 (not 1988 as per #14).

sex is sex, why pay top dollar when a $50 gutter slut gets it done just the same. sometimes you pay up to go bare back or hit the chocolate starfish but not that much. Guy clearly doesn't know much about value investing.

I was watching Cash Cab yesterday and they drove by a place in Chinatown that had a big sign up that said "BJ" and some Chinese lettering.
