In response to this morning’s report that Rick/Richard Stahl, one of two former Madoff traders suing Bernie’s sons Andy and Mark for $1.34 million in deferred compensation, and the description of Stahl as “a real hot head who always tried to physically intimidate people in the work place,” another ex-employee writes:
This couldn’t be further from the truth. I was a Madoff trader who traded alongside Rick for 3 years. He never, ever, used his size (which isn’t that big to begin with) to threaten anybody. Rick was/is a great trader and was both well respected and well liked on the trading floor.

“He never, ever, used his size (which isn’t that big to begin with)”
Hmm… I could take this in SO many directions… How does said trader know Dicky’s size?
-mrp
“Rick was/is a great trader and was both well respected and well liked on the trading floor”…yea at Madoff’s firm
this guy better look into a new line of work – i think Wendy’s is hiring…mmmm could go for a frosty
@2-
They have the new (vastly improved) frosty- the one with coffee in it.. Very tasty.
-mr “fatass” p
I thought they didn’t make any trades?
He wouldn’t hurt a fly…not like Barack Obama!
Pussy or meathead, which is it, Rick?
No way this guy making money at First New York if he was would never had thrown this hail mary pass SAD
Anal bleaching?
TAKE A NUMBER BEHIND THE FIRST TRANCHE OF $45 BILLION!!! I AM SURE THEY WILL PAY YOU FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!
Mewonders if this is just all a ploy to ultimately settle for a night with Ruth?
I unfortunately worked at Madoff for a breif time. The place was the worst. They were the Bad News Bears of trading desks. It looked like no other trading floor on Wall St. There were more women Traders than Men, and outside of Rick and a couple others, most were scared to trade. Rick never pandered to Andy and Mark on the rare occassions either one of them was at the office. “Appollo Reed,” on the otherhand was more like Peter McNealy.
Shoosh girl
Shut your lips
Do the Hellen Keller
And talk with your hips.
More Women than Men??? I guess you are right if you are counting Sir Grateful Ed!!!!
Since when is sodomy a good business practice?
My e-trade account is up 35% this year!

so he’s got a small dick. good to know.
Basically the OP described Willy Loman…or what he aspired to.
Bess didn’t like the 220lb comment?
I back up the 411 that this guy has a tiny dick.
–ruth
Stahl is definitely the former colleague.
changing your name = i am guilty
“He never, ever, used his size (which isn’t that big to begin with) to threaten anybody.”
awesome
It felt like he was throwing a hot dog down a hallway.

Wondering why its supposedly OK to post this guy’s resume and cover letter. The unwritten rule as I understand it is that only “public” people are fair game. How does he qualify? The guy’s trying to make a go of it – like we all are. Why should his resume be fair game, esp considering that probably 70% of you have less to offer?
Louis Ziccareli is no little man.
Shoosh boys, shut your lips
Do the leper dance
and leave me your tips.
