Just like he claims to have never touched marijuana despite the fact that former colleagues describe his office at 383 Madison as a “straight-up grow house.” Wall Street Marijuana and Cough Syrup Expert Charlie Gasparino, however, is not convinced, and implies as much in The Sell-Out. CG knows an addict when he sees one, and what’s more, his sources in the world of crack-slinging are second to none.
Cohen recalls one such incident of Cayne’s free-living lifestyle: Cayne called him to his forty-eighth floor corner office with its great view of the East River in Lower Manhattan to discuss some firm business. After a couple minutes of small talk, Cohen says Cayne reached down into his desk and pulled out a blue Bromo Seltzer bottle. (Bromo Seltzer is a white powdery antacid.) “What do you think’s in here?” Cayne said, according to Cohen’s recollection. “Bromo Seltzer?” Cohen asked, slightly bewildered. “No, it’s filled with cocaine,” Cayne said with a smile. Cohen never checked to see if that was true, and Cayne in an interview says he has never done coke (he also called Cohen’s account “patent bullshit”).
Aren’t y’all going to comment on Schumer attacking dark pools and IOIs?
@1 we’re talkin about jimmy cayne’s drug use here pal.

Patent bullshit from a patent fag. Bite my belt and whistle “Camptown Races.”

–Wall Street Gen Cayne +2

Now we see who turned Gaspo on to intraurethral Flonase. That’s a bitch to kick.
who is reading (and buying) all this $h1t? seriously, how many ways can you write that there was too much leverage, mbs, derivatives, blah, blah, blah?
@13 reading what? the crisis books?
@Cluzo they are fun to read not for the crisis stuff but the nuggets like this post mentions or Mack telling the future Treasury Secretary to “get fucked”.
Worth the $20 easily IMHO
No need to buy or read. Bess is mining anything of interest.
Yeah he knows a lot…..To bad Jimmy’s office was on the 5th floor.
@17 “Cayne called him to his forty-eighth floor corner office with its great view of the East River in Lower Manhattan”
it sounds like this wasn’t the mad ave office?
Probably 55 Water, where Bear was back in the ’80s– which makes it a bit more believeable if we’re 1988 or something.
@naked – what’s worth $20 is a HB Capital shirt with T’s (IMHO)…that provides all the shock value I need. and it’s a gift that keeps giving – every time I wear it.
Wait until you see what I have lined up for the Holiday Shopping Season
Have there been any denials of a Pelosi and MB mother/daughter relationship? Just askin…
@Naked
I can’t wait to tell my parents about my new gig with HBCP, I think for dad, the Polo, for mom, the apron, for me, resume baby
@anal
On your resume to be sure and talk up all the super sophisticated trading strategies we use here (our pitchbook is over 300 pages).
DONT tell people that all we really do is put 65% of our investors money in the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index and 25% in AAPL 10% in V; and then kick back collect fees and screw around on the internet all day.
I snorted ten grams in ten minutes once. Guess I had a high tolerance.
@24/NS at least lever up 2 or 3 times first. So much more in fees that way
