    Why is it no surprise that we find PWC embroiled in the SemGroup nonsense?

    off topic, but it looks like Morgan Stanley may make December disappear like Goldman did…

    The Dollar Dominatrix really needs to rename her firm the Whitney Advisory Group LLC because it sounds much shorter & sweeter. And why aren’t there any comments in her note on earnings?

    “Stallings confirmed that Goldman made data requests to SemGroup during its due
    diligence inquiry regarding the types of trades that SemGroup had entered into, including a break-down by commodity type and types of positions”.
    And then SemGroup went BK. End of story.

    @5, were you there when J. Aron pointed their super-secret ray gun at SemGroup’s offices? I’m talking about the J. Aron “stupid” ray gun? The one that makes energy traders do stupid things?
    It makes eery “woooot-woooooot” sci-fi sounds as the “stupid ray” is shined on SemGroup executive offices and normal traders start zombie trading and saying “never take a loss” and “roll it forward” as Russian art starts to form on the walls of their offices. It’s no wonder J. Aron never speaks of their secret trading weapon, the “stupid-ray gun”.
