Blind Item

By Bess Levin

At which southern Connecticut hedge fund did the following conversation recently take place?
Third party (making routine inquiry): How many PMs do you have?
Manager: 75.
Investor Relations: No, 80.
Manager: (surprised, confused though that could’ve been the low blood sugar) Really? (composes himself) Hm…go fire some.
And scene.

    It was Pershing, then Ackman realized he was in NY and doesnt have close to 75 PMs to begin with. But Billy likes to hear himself talk so he couldn’t contain himself….
    Or maybe he was thinking of his Gotham debacle.
