$$$ “Around October, when the economy went into free fall, a bunch of out-of-work finance guys in their 20s descended on Buenos Aires, where you can have the penthouse, the steak dinners and the bottle service at ridiculous nightclubs and still save money renting out your apartment in New York or London.
Lifestyle arbitrage, baby! The word got out, and the party built on itself, making the fantasy it offered all the more intoxicating: Come spend a month–or four–in Buenos Aires, where you really are a master of the universe, where nights are sleepless and potential business deals are all scams and the clubs teem with unemployed expat bankers looking for their identities in piles of cocaine and the bloodshot eyes of hookers and thieves.” [Playboy]
$$$ That’s it for us today. We’re off tomorrow, have a great weekend, Happy Fourth and if you happen to find yourself setting off illegal fireworks with Cliff Asness, we want to know!

    Jul. 03, 8:30 AM’Rogue trader’ suspected of running up £6m crude oil loss at London office of PVM Oil Associates
    A “rogue trader” is suspected of causing $10m (£6m) of losses at the London office of PVM Oil Associates, the world’s biggest broker of over-the-counter oil derivatives.
    By Rowena Mason
    Published: 9:29PM BST 02 Jul 2009
    A senior, long-standing broker, believed to be Steve Perkins, left this week, amid fears that “unauthorised trading” could have caused an eight-month high in Brent crude oil future prices.
    The company, which employs 80 staff at its West End offices, is now investigating past trading.
    A number of senior brokers – the company’s only shareholders – are expected to be the main losers from the “rogue trades” Mr Perkins is suspected to have run up in Asian trading during the early hours of Tuesday morning.

    TGFD – I have a policy of 1) not getting involved with men over the internet (if ever there was a way to get disappointed is face-to-face with an internet connection) and 2)not to get involved with men with anal in their name.
    Went back through my files – wrong company: Gramercy Capital Corp. http://ir.gramercycapitalcorp.com/releasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=383240
    People need to come up with some new names.

    fellas, get a grip. how many hot women have you ever met in the tax department? I’d hate to burst your respective bubbles, but I’d bet that *most* of you would be disappointed upon meeting tax chick (not that I have anything against TC, I think your snark surpasses most). on second thought, if the mental image of vixen in the tax dept. gets you through the day, roll with it – TC is really hot (an exception to beat all exceptions).

    Madoff Hires Consultant to Find Best Possible Jail
    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,530007,00.html
    Me, I’d like to talk about “with what money?” If somebody else is paying for him, then the only explanation is that the somebody has inside knowledge of Bernie’s crimes and has reason to want to buy him off by doing the very few favors that are possible in his new stage of life. Feds should be tracking every penny that goes into this consultant’s account, and rooting out where it ultimately came from.
    I’d also like to talk about “how does he get a choice?” Who does the consultant pay off to get the decision-maker to even give him the time of day, much less act on his recommendation?

    That’s funny. Two Sigma tried to get around disclosing their book, figuring geeks could reverse engineer their market making stuff…Courts told them to fuck off. GS gets hacked and Feds raid.
    Of course, in the end, all of GS competition barring MS is now owned by the Feds themselves, so this could be a Hunt For the Red October type of deal.
