He's appeared on the show a bunch of times since the Car People incident but we're told the Mackster is done on Fast Money, info seemingly corroborated* by he fact that his picture and bio have been wiped from the FM page (they were apparently still up two days ago). Nod if you understand what I'm saying and then do us a favor.
*Update: Confirmed by CNBC's Brian Steel, who told DB, "We wish Jeff well and thank him for all his quality contributions."
And travel to a world in which JM wasn't just replaced with a one of his former co-workers and we got to pick anyone we wanted to take his seat. Fantasy Fast Money team edition. We say: Stephen Baldwin, who could use the money.

Hi, Mark Haines here - Who is Jeff Macke?

Being a Car People is the new killin' it. I dismissed all others years ago.

Macke was too wacky.

speaking of people who have gone MIA, seems to me the "contributors" are contributing for other blogs. when will their names be taken off this site? just askin'...

cluzo@4- you're like 2 weeks behind the curve. it was evident to anyone who read the first post that "marla" was ep by the painful attempts a humor, conspiracy theories, and 989,388-word posts. And then there was the night she was DJing the music that made the ears of anyone who heard it bleed.

I'm starting a new club, creatively named: "Save Jeff Macke: Jesus Of The Car People".. it'll add nicely to my "Save Ralph Cioffi: Jesus of the ABS and the CDO" club.

Where is William Richards? I thought he was studying for the CFA and returned.
We all know where EP is and what identity she is now assuming. But I'm afraid she might show up as Muffie once in a blue moon.
DB doesn't do a good job updating their roster. They need to train an intern to do it.

Cluzo's Ex@#11...
As TGFD recalls, that "sick fantasy" is something that belongs to you and is what brought you over to my place that night.
You clearly became distressful when TGFD turned you away, so now you're trying to slander my good name by making up shit and posting it on DB.
Many chicks have fantasies about TGFD. Too bad yours didn't work out, so your frustration is understandable.
Cluzo...
It was difficult to see you back there, behind her, in the dark with that camcorder, but TGFD saw you.
