click to listen to aforementioned GVMOAT.
Update: After leaving him several threatening-ish sounding voicemails, we finally got in touch with Mr. Gasparino, who shed some light. Regarding the first message, he doesn't remember what it was about. The second two were apparently left after he'd been lied to about Lehman Brothers COO Joseph Gregory and CFO Erin Callan getting fired, and needed to "put the pedal to the metal." Though other journalists might've vehemently denied having left such messages, for fear of being called out for juicing, No Sleeves stood his ground.
"I'm unfazed [by the fact that someone put the voicemails on YouTube]," NS told Dealbreaker. "You should've seen and heard me ten years ago. I'm mellow now." Gasparino did add, however, that whoever decided to upload and make public his cell phone number (which we removed from our clip), should sleep with one eye open, because his "buddies at the FBI are going to find out who you are."
Update 2: Let it be known that Gasparino was the one to break the Gregory/Callan Story.
Update 3: Since we had him on the phone again, we asked No Sleeves why he chose not to curse in any of his messages. They were great, obviously, but a few well-timed 'mother-fucker's could've really added something special, not to mention probably have gotten the recipients to call back. According to Sans Sleeves, "I didn't curse because I was on vacation in San Diego and calling from my hotel room, and my wife was within earshot."

Pulling out the "buddies at the FBI" threat is for 4th rate muckrakers,Charlie.You'll turn into a parody of Steve Dunleavey before you know it.

I wonder what Gasparino and Alec Baldwin's voice messages to each other sound like.
Posted by guest , Sep 22, 2008 3:26PM
superb!
Posted by guest , Sep 22, 2008 3:27PM
Bess, old news. We called Charlie early this morning.
Posted by guest , Sep 22, 2008 3:27PM
Go ahead and put these voicemails up with Pat O'Brien/Alec Baldwin Hall of Fame level.
I imagine the same type of tone is delivered to Mrs. Gasparino moments before dinner time.
CG - "I better get some of that broccolli rabe NOW, NOW means NOW woman."

@1...agreed, not sure where the underlying crime is - or at least a federal crime.
Bess, WHO/WHAT IS NS???
And greatest voicemail of all time is a bit of a stretch. Go listen to Pat O'Brien talk about coke and hookers on his voicemails.

You people are disgusting.
Capitalism as we know it is disintegrating before our very eyes and you're obsessing over some voice messages.
(btw, that was fucking awesome).

Ha, FBI right. New York is a one party consent state. Hopefully you are a better reporter than you are a lawyer.

like you'd know, 26.
Posted by guest , Sep 22, 2008 4:04PM
Love him or hate him, you gotta admit he can sound the shit. Probably told his wife to take a smoke break in between fuck-sessions while he made a call.
My wish is to see him punch Dennis Kneale in the face. Now THAT is YouTube worthy.

Am I a complete novice if I don't know the term, ``juicing?''

@26 - Kudos my friend.
Posted by guest , Sep 22, 2008 6:36PM
I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure you can hear him biting off a hunk of provolone in the middle of that message.

Guest 15, did you notice how NS was red while the rest of the text was black? That means you can click on it to find out what NS means. Welcome to the internet.
Cheers!

Gasparino was using crazy wingnut talking points that Ritholtz had already debunked elsewhere. Gaspar is a wingnut, besides a big good for nothing (except spread false rumors) jerk. The SEC should be on this guy's tail.

More importantly, who vacations in San Diego? Too many illegals down there for my taste.
