Bové Shows Ladenburg Who’s Boss

By Bess Levin

Picture 734.pngBloomberg reports that everyone’s favorite adorable woodland creature has stood her ground! Upon learning that employer Ladenburg Thalmann didn’t really have her back, re: this summer’s imbroglio with BankAtlantic, she has walked out the door and will not be coming back, having already shacked up with another man. Sing it, sister:

Bove, who joined Stamford, Connecticut-based Rochdale Securities LLC this week, was sued in July by BankAtlantic Bancorp, which said he defamed the company by saying it might fail in a report titled “Who is Next?” Bove in August urged a Florida judge to throw out the suit, saying companies shouldn’t be able to muzzle independent analysts by threatening litigation.
“The only reason that I left Ladenburg is because of this lawsuit,” Bove, 68, said today in an interview. “It’s because Ladenburg was moving toward a settlement and I refused to settle because I think this lawsuit has no merit.”

    Ladenburg is a Long Island boiler room run by ex-pizza makers. It doesnt take long to figure that out and run for the doors. They have not been able to retain anyone there since they merged with Gaines Berland years ago.

    Woodland creature? He lives in Florida. He’s a big gamer fisherman. He concentrates more on prose than on analysis. He’s not a Woodland creature. He’s Ernest Hemingway.

    @7 – I am not. He is referred to as a Woodland creature frequently. I refer to him as Hemingway frequently. I shall refer to you as @7, the bland douche. Douche yourself before commenting again. Rather, never comment again. Thanks.

    Must he ALAYS go to the boutiques with names that no one cares about? It’s like he’s hiding something that only the background checks done by the BB firms will uncover.
    C’mon Bove, apply to MS, what are you hiding?

    that’s weird to leave a company just b/c of principle. companies settle in cases with no merit all the time just to cap their risk. big deal.
