Former Fairfield Greenwich employee Sherry Cohen on the Noels:
Frontline: Did you like them?
Cohen: I think that Walter and Monica are very, very likable people.
I think that the next generation had supreme self-confidence, confidence that I kind of wish I would’ve had, except that it really got to be too much. They were sometimes arrogant. They had a tremendous sense of self-entitlement. And I wasn’t the only one who thought that. And I wasn’t the only one who thought that they were very, very aggressive…
Also:
Frontline: Somebody told me that the whole entire family lost [$60 to] $80 million. [Is that] a lot of money for this family?
Cohen: Sixty million dollars is a hell of a lot of money for this family. People seem to assume that they were always rich, but they weren’t always rich. And when Walter was about 65 years old, he had mortgages up the wazoo. They were constantly refinancing. They didn’t own cars. …

@ 1 — exactly. Horse walks in to the Dr and the doctor ask “Why the Long Face?”
The horse answers — I was just bought by the Noels.

that’s the awesomest pic i’ve seen in a while… well played, sir!
“the next generation had supreme self-confidence, confidence that I kind of wish I would’ve had, except that it really got to be too much..” Beware: based on what I see all over the UES, this is typical among the children of the very rich. And def not the best way to raise children. Unless you want your fortune to be diminished very quickly.
$60m was alot for them? After FFG collected HOW much in fees?
Jeeze, they were living like they were worth at least a hundo or two
Sherry Cohen reads like the average jew in New York city nowadays,the next generation are a bunch of arrogants with a tremendous sense of self-entitlement. Very unlike the parents that are humble, hard working and were far from rich for the most part.
Its always such a delight to speak to the parents, the kids on the other hand…
@ 4 —> LAME
“alot” does not equal “a lot”
check your nearest dictionary.
16 Nah, not that simple. Haven’t you ever been to say a charity event in NYC, sipping wine with the very wealthy. In ways that are difficult to describe they are just very different than the rest of us. They have a calm, fearless, entitled air about them that people (like me) who are just mildly successful don’t have.
4 forceps deliveries coming right up.
Take it from a fellow Greenwich-ite who went to school with them: they are big anti-Semites. Round Hill Club does not accept Jews, so take a guess as to who wants to belong there.
“Sherry Cohen” is merely going to confirm their feelings about Jews, which makes me mad/sad.
dirty pirates for everyone!
21 Isn’t Monica (mom) Brazilian / German? Bet there’s a little bit of the SS somewhere in her family tree.
“aggressive” = “cuntish”
@4′s pic reminded me of a BYU football team in the making.
Willllburrrr….
19 – They must be putting on airs for you at the event, which is very common as they overcompensate what they lack,big difference with the older generation that are more natural and true to themselves. You probably don’t get to see them in the daily life. The women’s tone of voice is horribly nagging and demanding, the men are just plain arrogant. Once again this is the next generation …
These people thought they were in the middle of a win win, delivering great client returns and getting rich themselves. Then it all fell apart. I doubt they’re mean, selfish or arrogant, just dim witted. This has got to hurt bad.
Groucho Marx said he once tried to join the Santa Monica Swim Club so his daughter would have a place to go swimming with her friends, and the club said “No Jews allowed.” So he said to them: ” Listen, my daughter is half-Jewish — is it all right if she goes swimming in your pool up to her waist?”

This could be an orthodox jewish family at the mall on Sunday.
@ 5 — Great Bukowski reference
@30
Or a christian one, or a mormon one, consider there’s no real peas or whatnot
30 I would say that 4 are Mormons. Which are actually very much like the Orthodox.
#21 – What you are saying about Round Hill is simply false. Perhaps they wouldn’t ever take you as a member, but maybe that has nothing to do with the convenient excuse of ethnic background.
@33 Are they wearing the magic underwear?
34 – I would tend to agree with you, I dont think many clubs nowadays abstain from letting jews and blacks become members. Its not good policy.
I tell ya it’s tough being a hedge fund guy, you know? I don’t get no respect. No respect at all I tell ya. Like the other hedge fund guys I got me a trophy wife but I’m a little suspicious, you know? Can’t help it. There’s always a trainer or a pool boy or a gardner or some guy hangin around the place. Why, the other day my trophy wife was showing off works of art in the house to some rich friends when I got in from work. After introductions, a man says to me, “Your wife just showed us her Klimt.”
I said, “You too!!??”
35 Where’d you learn that? Big Love? I think that show is great. BTW: I work with a Mormon. He is so straight laced and unflappable, it amazes me. Never sweats, always delivers. The clients love him.

@43- that was reported, and refuted, two days ago. keep up.
“He loved horses, and there’s a good part of the time that he spent at the horse track…”
#43 you are wrong. RHC did not revoke their memberships. Also, to set the record straight even further — RHC does have a Jewish member….and a few 2nd/3rd wife spouses.
@34: it is not false. Who do they have – Lou Gerstner? If that? I have no problem if a private club wants to select who they want to hang out with – it’s people’s prerogative. But they are restricted. One or two Jews doesn’t make it “mixed”. Are you even from Greenwich? They don’t care about “what’s good for business” – they just want to hang out with who they want to hang out with.
Those girls were always quite high on themselves, and for all the “oh, poor Noels” – let’s call a spade a spade: the only money they had with Madoff was 2008′s management fee that they hadn’t “earned’ yet. All those hundreds of millions they had made from the decade before – wasn’t with Bernie. You think they didn’t know?
If Barry Gibbs wanted to, do you think RHC would let him in?

Madoff made such a big impact in the jewish community that the silverblatts,goldsteins,and diamonds are selling their last names for cash.
OK, that Frontline was pretty weak…they usually skewer CEOs/Cabinet members with no mercy…They made the Blackwater CEO cry and a Bear Mortage trader (Ira) get all misty.
Given that the Mom is half-spic and father is all hick, I think the WASP thing is now layed to rest. If not we should rename Puerto Rico, England.
RE: hot or not
Hate to admit it, but these women are tall, thin, have long hair…thats 60% of hotness…
Given that 60% of women in USA are obese and the rest are short and chop their hair off after 30. Further, CT has some tuly pasty/bloated women…UConn always ranks near bottom of all college babe surveys.
Boesky ex-wife just declared bankruptcy after getting $80 million from him in 1991. So regardless, these nouveau/arriveste will be back to living above mid-town delis like that Priedharta punk used to in 80s

@ 28, you are so dumb and naive…. this probably doesn’t even make sense to you. Noel did 0 due-diligence because he knew what was going on.
Why did they have that party where they served champagne only sold to a hundred people in the world at a rumored $7 grand a bottle while their fellow greenwichites were suffering in silence?
4 is just a giant batch of Baptist fundies from NW Arkansas, the Dugger family. They basically pimp themselves out for a reality TV show. The kids names all start with J–Joshua, Jana and John-David (twins), Jill, Jessa, Jinger, Joseph, Josiah, Joy-Anna, Jedidiah and Jeremiah (twins), Jason, James, Justin, Jackson, Johannah, Jennifer, and Jordyn-Grace.
I’d pay for a steel cage match between the Duggers and Noels.
Still laughing at #37 – that was damn funny even if you “borrowed” it. And, frankly, I’d do any and/or all of ‘em. Except for the mister or course – don’t roll that way.
There’s just something about that horsey waspish look that does it for me.

Can somebody please find the guy who banged four of them? Why doesn’t he have a book deal yet? Or at least a skinemax screenplay deal?
I’ll take the brunet in the see thru top.
Bangability scale (most doable to least):
1. Brunette
2. The uber-blonde on the far right
3. The other semi-brunette, left of pops

@14 I was raised on the UES and I assure you if I behaved like a total fucktwat with an attitude my teachers would have thrown me through the classroom door and then down the stairs (no shit!). Then if I went home and whined to my parents about the episode my dad would have smacked me around just for good measure beacuse the teacher was probably right.
Problem today is that the UES (and NYC) is full of tourists who made a big buck and have no underlying class or respect for others. Fasted way to adjust for that is to bring back a little crime like the good old days. Then all the wanna-bees will go scampering back to the pathetic, self-aggrandizing suburbs from whence they came.
@80 knows what’s up! Some hookers, muggers, burglers, car jackers, rapists and pimps that’ll pour draino down your throat will certainly clean up the streets of scumbags.

@80- please throw yourself down the stairs as fasted you can.
dips#it.
I had the horseface third from the left, what an animal. Typical rich girl who liked being treated like dirt
80 Which UES? Park Avenue or a tenement in the far east 90s. Can’t figure out if your childhood was noble because your parents were well bred or because they were poor.
How about the Colombia connection. I heard rumor that there may have been some SA clients that had dubious sources of income that may come looking for redemption of their investment.
Any more rumors on that topic?
@83…@80 here, “as fasted as you can”? Shouldn’t you be waiting outside Home Depot for some migrant work? Speak English you peasant.
@85…good attention to detail. However, only tramp whores right of college with their first real, “off their knees” job live East of Park. They usually live in a walk-up tenement above a 2nd Ave dive, have two other roommates, harbor Town & Country fantasies about how they will live happily ever after in a classic six with a park view, and inevitably spend most of their time at Dorrian’s hoping to score a real live preppy; be he a murderer or not. (I have no problem partaking mind you, but they get clingy and tiresome after a few days.)
No sir, I grew up West of Park and in the years when we didn’t spend our time at our home in the Cotswolds (hence the English discipline) we would entertain ourselves by hurling water balloons at the Puerto Rican day and other ethno-centric parades.
@80 here again…per the last paragraph of the last post…yeah, those actions are the poster child of no respect for others, but I was a kid and really racking up the frequent flier miles in the stairwell back then. I’m better adjusted now, have been conditioned to hold my own in a bar fight or street brawl and, because of the nerve damage but mostly because of the Makers Mark Manhattans, really don’t feel any pain when I get wailed on for good measure. Just an anticipatory “point taken” on hypocrisy.
It was a warm June evening at dusk in ’82. Adianne laid out a cotton blanket on the edge of the 14th green at RHC. After some wine stolen from her ‘rents liquor cabinet she let down her prudish guard. She let me take depth soundings in two places I had never before experienced. I had never heard a sound like that come out of a woman.
@80 “Fasted way to adjust for that is to bring back a little crime like the good old days”? You fucking illiterate peasant. You sound like a fucktwat that went to some dirt-shit school (like Yale’s “School of Management” where Yale continues to fail to build a business school). Go fuck yourself, you peasant.
@90…@80 here. Well….I guess I’m in a bit of a pickle here, a cornichon if you will, and well deserved I might add. It’s so horribly embarrassing to miss a bit of sarcasm, it so…what’s the word…hoi polloi? But there is a perfect explanation.
You see. The wealthy (rich is merely an aspiration of the masses) almost never do anything for themselves. They hire people to do it for them. This is true even for such simple tasks as posting on Dealbreaker. This is why I missed @83’s wry sarcastic insult (kudos by the way); I had hired some bright-eyed, bushy-tailed poetry major from Barnard to type my dictation. Cleary, as she was taking another form of dick-tation, she must have mistyped “fastest” as “fasted”. Please don’t worry, I take full responsibility and the fair onslaught of slander that shall inevitably ensue and be hurled my way from my fellow literary pugilists on DB. Rest assured though, she will be summarily dismissed in the morning, along with that incompetent valedictorian from Harvard Law School who was hired to proof read and vet all of my correspondence.
The reality is, the wealthy and privileged really don’t need to be that smart to sustain our status in life. Just look at Spaulding Smails, or G.W. as an example. And to answer your burning question…no I did not attend a “management” school of any kind; how vocational. And for that peasant comment, its just a family habit that’s been passed down over generations since we were included in that infernal Domesday Book.
So Kids! Look, I’m terribly sorry this happened. I’ll pay for your lunch and I’ll pay for the umbrella.
bull – known the family since the 80′s – Monica ran illegal brazillians into the country pretending they were family farmed them out as domestics for a fee – daughters – same as they ever were… always had cars. Walter is the classic million dollar spit in the ocean wasp wanna be.
