We don’t have to tell you that times are extremely tough. With so many individuals and institutions taking it up the A, it should come as no surprise that even the once most successful among us are cutting corners, where they think they can get away with it. Employees at Morgan Stanley are sharing computers, the staff at Citi are sharing pencils, and the ladies at SAC have been allotted ONE pair of stilettos per portfolio team. So Blackstone founder Steve Schwarzman probably didn’t think it was a big deal when he (or one of his deputies) decided to try and scam the FT, in a cost cutting effort. But Crab Hands THOUGHT WRONG. Cityfile reports that CH, I shit you not, is being sued by the FT for allowing employees to all share one log-in, rather than pay for separate online subscriptions.

Wow – Big Dough could probably get on that too, and sue every broker dealer out there.
perhaps the braintrust over @ FT.com should pull their heads out of their asses with the delusional idea that all their readers have unlimited corporate spending accounts for subscription services (Felix Salmon has covered this in debt, fwiw)
He should just buy the FT.
Bloomberg logins, anyone? I’m shocked they haven’t switched to a scheme where you chop off and donate a finger which is then matched against your stump each time you login.
Now that’s crab hands.
Not sure that the FT is going to be sympathetic to crab hands being cost concious after blowing a gazillion bucks on having Rod Stewart sing “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy”.

@2 you are a twat
for the record, i have given a great deal of people the password to my “guest” login on dealbreaker…
anyone got a CapIQ login handy? T1 banker?
props to 14 !
I sell market forecasts via subscriptions and I was calling on one prospect and he said, “Well, are you as good as this guy…” and showed me my own document! And he was getting it sent to him from a certain investment banker who wasn’t a client either.
Go get ‘em FT!
@ 6 – He was to cheap to buy a couple of subscriptions what makes you think he wants to buy the paper to get access to articles -
Unless you are trying to show everyone how much money he has – in which case it just highlights how f’ing cheap the bastard is or is it just the fun of not doing the right thing
If the Lycan fits, wear it!
Err, well, he is trying to conserve capital. As long as I keep receiving my $0.30 QRD per unit, I don’t mind. :D
HOWEVER, I do have a problem with BX not having an annual shareholders meeting. Being a unitholder (LP), that is the same concept of purchasing a Phish concert ticket, but there not being a concert venue to see them perform. :( Crab hands…bwahahahha This forum ROCKS!
Dear Ms Bess,
Best wishes to you and EP for a wonderful Year of the Ox.
Please allow me the indiscretion of taking note of your markedly subdued prose as of late.
It is quite disconcerting to pull up DB and not be horrfied by some of the most coarse, vulgar, twisted language that consistently produces a squeamish, emasculated feeling in 98% of DB readers…
Bess, say it ain’t so, honey!!!!
“98% of db readers”
actually, that’s just you, dinosaur douche who’s been commenting how horrified he is by bess’s use of the word ‘ass,’ etc for about the last 6 months.
go fuck your wife missionary style, victorian-boy.
Hey mushroom cap @21,
pull your tiny half-incher out of the peanut butter jar and read what the fuck i am actually saying…
@22/20- i read it. “lately” you’ve “noticed” how subdued she’s been (actually, wrong, but whatever). prior to that, when, according to you, she wasn’t subdued, you made a habit of commenting how horrified you were by use of phrases like ‘rectal prolapse,’ etc. because you’re a douche.
@20- only guys with half-inch dicks (you) are emasculated by a girl using “twisted” language like “ass bleeding.”
@20, you’re emasculated by words?
How the fuck do you get up in the morning? It sounds like you have had your ass ripped by a guy named Bubba in your past, and you can not get passed the experience…
Grow a pair of Balls… life is a contact sport…
wait… someone actually wasted brain cells to save $7 a month per employee? what’s next? maximum 10 second pisses twice a day?
crabcakes should fire whichever retards figured this one out.
@21 You should advise him to keep the lights on during the act.
good
bankers deserve dog dodo! thats right, dog dodo!
