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.”
John Carney?
@1-what would jc’s charity be?
John Carney?
Paul Tudor Jones and his Robin Hood Charity!
Boom.
@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…
@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.
@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.
@8 – Your comment was supposed to be number 6.

What would Bess do for $5,000?
@12- no, because Hedge Funds Care was started in 1988. what was a charity started b/t 2004 and 2005?
ROB RUBIN

#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.
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).

@19- way to steal commenter girl’s joke from yest.

Rob Davis, I win, I get anything I want.
I’ll take photos of Bess’s feet (sans nail polish please)

What prime brokerage is Rob Davis managing?
no 23 that was one off.
Where does Rob Davis work?
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.
Well, that’s why they call it a piece of you-know-what. You’ll never get the whole thing, pardon the pun.
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).
men with more money paying for sex directly, vs. men with less money, getting advanced sex for a piece of the downstream earnings…how is that news?
@30– this wasn’t reported as news, it was reported as, let’s name the dude who uses hookers. moron.
@31 – was referring to radar’s story, douche bag
@29
ahahahahahaa
Right, Sure
you guys never paid for sex?
leave the guy alone.
Hold out for 100′s Bess. You’re worth it.
Vik Pandit and the charity is called BJ’s for Benjamins.
“The honcho gave me a poncho and said, let’s get raunch-o”
Since when 205 is an ‘upscale club’? Hah hah hah…
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.
Fuck! Now I know why there were just guys at the opening of the hot new club, “The Chocolate Starfish”, the other night!!!

Unfortunately, I did not do much Dealbreaker reading yesterday. Any similarities to comments made by someone else are purely co-incidental. Seriously.
