The Times reports that Exis Capital founder Adam Sender, 4’11.5″, has put his six-bedroom, 6,250 square foot duplex at 15 Broad on the market. Sender is looking for just under $11 million, after buying the place for just over $8 million in June 2007. I don’t think we should jump to the inevitable conclusion that Exis is in trouble. First, because apparently EC is up 9 percent this year, and second because even if the $150 million fund were getting its ass torn out, Ads has his priorities and they lie with finding the perfect space to accommodate his 247 screens.

    #3 that is an awesome observation!

    4’11.5″….seriously…isn’t that legally considered a midget?

    @3 and 5 — at under 5 feet – his effectively banished to “spank city” forever. MAYBE as a hedgie he could buy some mink, but as an ordinary mortal he’s doomed to whacking it to youpr0n or macking on the members of the Lullabye League, though all those gals are now pushing 90, but they apparently were quite a randy bunch – the set of “Wizard of Oz” was apparently hook-up heaven for the little folk – they were banging their lungs out all over the studio…

    anything more than 3 screens and you qualify as a douche….in this case it’s a midget douche.

    the little guy is actually up 6 or 12% ytd! Maybe he invested in more monitors

  13. Posted by guest | November 10, 2008 at 3:03 PM

    @11: Bberg screens come in even-numbered blocks. So how about anything more than 4 screens….

  14. Posted by guest | November 10, 2008 at 3:12 PM

    That looks like one of the “masturbation rooms” at Chicago Booth. All the fraud geeks like to go in there and beat off to charts.

  15. Posted by guest | November 10, 2008 at 3:15 PM

    3 screens for sales, and any real trader has at least 5. anything more than 6 screens and your pushing it. 8 and up is definitely dbag.

  16. Posted by guest | November 10, 2008 at 3:21 PM

    @17, you are a douche, how bout that?

  17. Posted by guest | November 10, 2008 at 3:22 PM

    Bess & EP,
    Maybe you should have an over/under contest on when Paulson goes back to congress to ask for the second tranche of TARP money.
    Then have a second overunder on when we have blown through the whole $750B TARP and raise the total amount to $1T?

    He looks like the guy that was on Sex in the City and got dumped because he bough his suits at the Bloomingdale’s young boys store.

  19. Posted by guest | November 10, 2008 at 3:26 PM

    He looks like he doesnt make money, he prints it…

  20. Posted by guest | November 10, 2008 at 3:34 PM

    If he thinks he can sell his digs for more than he paid for them last year, that tells me a lot about his ability to analyze the situation we’re in and it gives us some insight into the decision making skills that have lead to losses in his fund.

    why so much hatred for the guy? just curious….

    he looks like the dude from that original Star Trek episode where he broadcasts the scary looking creature and then beams Kirk on board and he’s really like two feet tall and sez “drink some tranya” or some shit and he gets all buddy buddy with the earthlings at the end

  25. Posted by guest | November 10, 2008 at 3:45 PM

    Um…that was pretty big of him:
    In April, Mr. Sender testified that he had paid Mr. Pellicano more than $500,000 to investigate a movie producer with whom he had invested $1.1 million. Mr. Sender said that Mr. Pellicano had offered to have the producer killed, but that he had declined the offer.

    that is serious profitability per square inch relative to other hedge fund managers

    4’11.5″ or 5’4… or his height positively correlated with the markets?

  34. Posted by guest | November 10, 2008 at 4:18 PM

    @22, John Paulson was trying to get 20% more for his 2006 Hamptons house even after the mark down a few months ago. This is the guy who made a boatload betting against the housing market. I’ve come to the conclusion that everyone is out of touch with the value of their own home, even those who should know better. Maybe they think it’s only other people’s houses that lose value…

    Bess,
    You have GOT to circle that tube of spank lotion in a bright red pen and THEN post this pic. That is HA-liraious!

    #s 26 and 29 — you are think of the 7 year old Clint Howard, brother of actor and director Ron Howard, who played Balok on the “Corbomite Maneuver” episode of the original Star Trek.
    “This is tranya. I hope you relish it as much as I.”
    - Balok
    And yes, Adam Sender does look like him, the little freak.

    Wonder who he thinks is gonna buy it. Nice building, but the Setai and others are/soon to be (maybe?) coming to market, as will plenty other FiDi buildings. I imagine william beaver hosue will remain pretty vacant, 20 exchange might fare better (less fugly), no idea about the others.

    thanx for the background – I knew the little squirt looked familiar

    Number of monitors on your desk must correspond with size…

    @39 -
    “william beaver house” – in addition to being incredibly unimaginatively named, is indeed as fugly as they come — WTF is with those yellow brix? It looks like some 1972-vintage Junior High School out in Suffolk County.
    In the event, I am hoping to score a much reduced pied a terre in the near future, praise shiva…

  42. Posted by guest | November 10, 2008 at 4:56 PM

    I don’t understand the rationale for buying a place in FD. Its ok to crash there for a few years, esp if yr an analyst, but invest in a place? It has nothing going for it. If its really that important for you to be close to work, then Tribeca.

  43. Posted by SausageOfDoom | November 10, 2008 at 5:01 PM

    @35 Bess was merciless in that post regarding his height (I like that in a woman).

    99% of hedge fund managers are scam artists.
    88% of the hedge funds have negative returns this year.

  45. Posted by guest | November 10, 2008 at 6:14 PM

    The sad thing is that those monitors are actually the size of Blackberry screens. If the camera pulled away, you would be able to see that this picture was taken looking into a dollhouse.

    @36
    They’re either out of touch with reality wrt their own houses or they’re looking for the greater fool. A commentary on ridiculous perceptions of their own homes’ values or on their opinion of other house hunters. Don’t know which is worse.

    Bess would do him without thinking. Muf would fight her for the chance.
    I assure you he is much taller when he stands on his wallet, atleast 6’3″ or 6’4″
    I’d rather be short and rich than tall and poor…

  52. Posted by I am a Dude | November 10, 2008 at 7:38 PM

    you would think bloomberg would be nicer to him in their articles being that he is such a big customer, 20 screens and all

  53. Posted by guest | November 10, 2008 at 7:43 PM

    @53 – you remind me of a very short married sales manager that got off on sleeping with the assistants. He used to say he was much taller when he stood on his wallet. Is that you, 007?
