DE Shaw Also Strong Contender For The Nightgown Ruth Was Wearing When Bernie Broke The News

By Bess Levin

Charlie Gasparino reports that DE Shaw “has the inside track” to buy Madoff Securities, which will be bid for on Monday, with three other firms in the running. The biz was once thought to be worth around a billion, though, obviously, it’ll go for considerably less than that (one bid came in at $15 million).

    So clarify this for me, if they are no longer on the box what is DE Shaw et al bidding on? There is no business to buy. No employees, just a buch of computer equipment??

    I guess it helps to pay off a Messiah advisor to be on the “insider track”

    @6- whenever you’d like, since we’re obviously dealing with your imaginary secretary.

    @6-On Fridays, it’s OK to give her an
    enema too, since you’re an assman.

    Pandit should get a special “Screwed the Pooch” award for threatening to
    buy Wachovia at the taxpayers’ expense, alienate the customers ,dismemeber the company, fire the employees-all just as he has done at his own company-
    and still not get his own house in order….He’s ‘s a hedgefund scammer, not a banker.He’s part of the problem.
