Screen shot 2009-09-21 at 2.40.50 PM.pngMaybe! Former RBC Capital Markets trader Lindy Boville, pictured at left, claims her former employer fired her in March because she unwittingly dated a dude who turned out to be running a Ponzi scheme (James Nicholson, Westgate Capital). Not so says RBC! The Canadians counter the moose fister’s unfortunate taste in men had nothing to do with her termination, but rather that she showed “poor judgment” in not telling her bosses she was helping the bf raise money for his fund, leaving them to wonder what other “deals” she had going on the side. In a complaint filed today, Boville also says that before she was shown the door, she was (bizarrely) sexual harassed in a made up tongue.

She accused one co-worker of making comments about her legs, such as, “Did that dress shrink at the dry cleaners?” She accused another of using the made-up word “sensy” rather than “sexy” so that RBC’s monitoring system would not pick up his language.

    Actually, getting a handjob from a woman wearing a moose hand puppet is one of my ultimate fantasies.

    @15
    I do believe that #12 was echoing the comment that brought on perhaps the most famous comment in DB history, and the initial comment in a long string of posts that brought on HCP. For further reference see the original Amanda Drury post.

    What is this hand bridge? I find this rather entertaining (I’m new to the hand bridge concept) and hope to provide some feedback to colleagues.

    She brought the name of RBC into disrepute.

    I panned it at 17. Obviously Biff Basness’ comment is the most famous, but this is a close second. This is why the Joke Briefer should never let interns do his job for him.

    @17/19- Perhaps I was a little quick on the draw, but the comment made @12 struck me as too innocent. I got a little heated after doing filling in on some joke briefing of my own defending Naked on the previous post (who coincidentally created all the HCP swag).

    What is the “RBC monitoring system” she speaks of? Is this approved by the Queen or the Canadian mounties.

    If you do in fact do this, you should donate the proceeds to a fund to help the poor victims that were and are his employees. Maybe provide free counseling.

    @Naked: I’d buy one and send it to Biff just for the hell of it. Beyond that I’m not sure what market penetration you’d get. It’s not like I’d want to walk around with Biff’s name on my chests.

    @34 maybe we could donate the proceeds to the Dennis Kneale Vicious Animal Lovers Association of North America or DKVALAoNA for short.

    okay, fact checking police here…hedge fund in peal river, new york (red flag #1)? she was dating the 42 year old, 9 years her senior (red flag #2)? trader taking RBC over GS (3 strikes honey)? clearly she has shown poor judgment in the past and hasn’t demonstrated that she will change her ways.
