Did Mark and Andy EVER actually work? It seems all they did was fish.

And we thought they paid retail for all of that fishing equipment! They probably scammed all of that stuff for free from Urban Angler. Is there no limit to this family's thievery?!

Is that what Bob Rubin spends his time doing? I mean since he's gotten paid $150mm with no responsibilities at Citi, I kind of wonder how he filled his days.
I'm sure my fellow C shareholders will take heart that a senior adviser like Rubin is cavorting with the perpetrators of the biggest Ponzi scheme ever. Nice work, Bob, way to be asleep at the wheel. Better get those UA books audited but pronto...

BQfan,
You just made my stomach turn with thoughts of "vacationing" upstate during summers as a youth...
On another note, anyone have information regarding fly fishing salesmen in all of this? Cost of fishing equipment? Numbers? Anyone?

Anyone ever been to Cadence, a bike shop in Tribeca for Wall Street ballers? Lots of attention, bicycles at prices to rival a car, showers so you can clean up after working up a sweat while pedaling during your fitting. Almost funny in its seriousness. I'm thinking Urban Angler is similar.

If it smells like trout...get out.
If it smells like grouper...switch to the pooper.

Anyone hear first year Associate numbers for Urban Angler?

birds of a feather flock together...Rubin is dirtier than a South Bronx heroin needle laying in the gutter.

@14
I'll buy for 5 and sell you more for 10 (dollar cost averaging!), assuming they are SS variety.

@11/@17:
If it smells like bass...take a pass.
If it smells like snapper...you'd better tap 'er.
If it smells like whale...you'll end up in jail.
