$$$ Now that they’ve fired everyone, Barclays is hiring again [The Deal]
$$$ Bank Slaughter [Reuters]
$$$ The McCloy house hits the market [CF]
$$$ Joe Cassano: The Man Who Crashed The World [VF]
$$$ The Observer reports that Steve Cohen only spent $2.7 million on his 20-something year-old son’s apartment, which the paper cannot get over. Since there probably isn’t anyone else who’s going to say it, the duty lies with us to put it out there that this might’ve been because the child in question is not the fruit of the big guy’s loins, but that of another dude with whom SC’s second wife Alexandra chilled prior to meeting Steve. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, of course, and surely the boy is loved just as much as the rest of ‘em, but those with the DNA of Papa Bear have don’t wipe their feet on welcome mats worth less than $3 mill.

    What hell is all this?

    If DeSantis still has all his arms, legs, sight, hearing and and a brain to process those sensations I suggest he take his whiney “I’m a victim” story to an Army trauma unit and start refining his complaining there. I hope at MIT they teach kids to GTFU and STFU because it’s part of life out here in the financial hustings. Things could be worse.

    Only true sign of acceptance for the boy would be if Stevie gave him the keys to the Zamboni.

    @18 yes, but Josh Cohen is a fucking asshole who doesn’t deserve such things.

    @20- Fuck I’m jealous.
    During my first date with Bess she very adamant, almost abusive about wanting to check my prostate. I woke up in her bed smelling like ether and her whistling ‘bridge over the river kwai’ asking me if I wanted pulp in my oj. I nervously said no.
    Seeing her squeeze those oranges with suck vigor you’d swear she had turrets syndrome. It didn’t take me long to put one and one together to explain the blood in my underwear. I framed’m the next day.

    @15
    of coure i live in NYC you retard, you on the other hand want to share with us that you spent your first 20 years on cowtipping and sneaking up on female sheep

    I guess it proves that wall street looks at the bottom line. Be damned if your in the way of that train wreck.
    Barclays firing and hiring just shows you how lame some CEO decisions can be to all those peons out there. Who cares if you have a mortgage and kids! We want that train line named after our company.
    That old dude McCloy had the good life and now he has problems, so does a lot of people. And having a house on the market for 6mil is not a bad thing in the least.

    So it was Joe Cassano.
