Marc Dreier Was Robbed And So Were We, Part II

By Bess Levin

Screen shot 2009-09-30 at 11.05.12 AM.pngI missed this from yesterday’s account of why Marc Dreier chose to get into the Ponzi business (9/11 and a house on the beach, mostly). It clearly deserves flagging:

One of the firm’s Christmas parties was held at the Waldorf-Astoria, where Dreier danced wildly to the song “Shout,” from Animal House. At a firm party at his Quogue beach house a plane flew overhead trailing a banner that said, DREIER LAWYERS ROCK.


Once again: thanks for nothing, Bernie. If it weren’t for you and your terribly uninventive $50 billion (or is it $13?) scam stealing the spotlight, the Post et al would’ve been all over MD’s ass, and instead of reading about him dancing to the point of puking and passing out cold, we could’ve been watching the footage.

    Starting to question the independence of this news site. Why has there been no coverage of this yet ?

    @18 actually it was mentioned in opening bell the other day. but you are right to question the independence of this “news” site. my only question is how did you connect the dots to figure out we’re in the can for Edolphus Towns? that’s some investigative journalism right there.

    @20 agreed. “snark” is such a lame 2004-2006 word.

    Read the 7 page Vanity Fair story
    Cliff Notes: He is washed up in 2001 after being a tier-3 partner at schlock law firms for 15 years.
    He is divorced, broke, and living in Worsthampton. This can happen even with Yale/Harvard law.
    He should have married a 20 something summer assocaite, got a ferrari and called it a day.
    Or, He should have wired the funds to Latin am country and lived it out there like Marc Rich.
    Lawyers are really bad with money…even stolen money.
