Lloyd and his wife Laura has been comfortably ensconced in their new pad in 15CPW for over year now, where neighbors include people like Sandy Weill, Daniel Och, and Dan Loeb and each apartment comes equipped with an auto-fellatio room in order to meet the needs of the esteemed residents. Unfortunately, LB has been having a little trubs selling his old house, at 941 Park Avenue. It’s been on the market since June and despite the added value of Stan O’Neal living in the building, its received no bites. Or has it?
Cityfile reports that the asking price has been cut to $13.5 million from $15 million. I hate to go here, but my hand has been forced— is this Goldman’s latest PR offensive? The kitten adoption program, $500 million gift, trash, and apology having failed to ingratiate God’s workers to the public, are they now attempting to paint LB as being one of the people, just a guy who can’t sell his house? He’s gotten offers, but they’ve been turned away so we can say Goldman Sachs CEO’s, they’re just like us? If we are Tim Geithner?

@anal_yst- jews don't live at 740 park. come on.

#3=(something)ist. Just not sure what yet. Examine your motives.
Posted by Tax Chick , Nov 25, 2009 12:49PM
@3 - Tell that to Mr. Schwarzman, the 58-year-old Blackstone Group chairman who bought the Rockefeller apartment from... Saul Steinberg.
Do your homework before you open your mouth.

I don't know who is more annoying.
The ShamWow poster.
The Shitheal poster.
The UBS sucks poster.
The "Examine your motives" poster.

@tax chick- with 2 (maybe 3!) exceptions, 740 park has been almost exclusively old money WASP.

@6 I know who is more annoying. The guy who complains about everything poster.
Posted by CoveredLong , Nov 25, 2009 12:55PM
@6 - Can't wait to hear from you when you do figure it out...we'll be waiting on pins and needles.
Ahhh, just kidding, we don't give a shit.

@7 - A 2005 NYT article (not that I believe everything in the Times) puts the number at about 50%. (This should feed into the tinfoil hat brigade's theory about said group controlling all the money). I agree with your point, but the times... they are a cha-cha-changing.
@NS - concur.

@6
Easy. TGFD wins hands down.
Posted by guest , Nov 25, 2009 12:59PM
@10 agree they are changing but nfw it's 50%
Posted by Anal_yst , Nov 25, 2009 1:00PM
I was briefly considering giving @3 the benefit of the doubt, but I see I'm not the only one with 1. a jealous real estate fetish, and 2. google
Posted by NakedShort , Nov 25, 2009 1:05PM
@Covered.
I, as well, cannot wait to get fucked up on some Tryptophan. Thanksgiving is by far the best holiday in the United States. No giving of gifts, no receiving of gifts, no religious overtones (therefore no examining of motives necessary) just stuffing your face with food and booze and watching football.

@5/10 Tax Chick- not disagreeing with your overall assesment of 740 Park, but are you sure Schwartzman is a member of The Tribe? Vaguely remember reading somewhere that he wasn't (and being surprised)...
Posted by Tax Chick , Nov 25, 2009 1:13PM
@15 - Tribemember, along with Ezra Merkin and Steven Mnuchin... all residents (though Steve was selling his unit).
btw, there are 31 units.
Posted by guest , Nov 25, 2009 1:13PM
@13 and 3- Tax Chick is right as well as the fact that there are several other jews in the building like Kent Swig.
i would remind @3 to read but we know thats hard for red necks.

Posted by Tax Chick , Nov 25, 2009 1:19PM
Janet Coleman sold in 2007 (well, she died)... tribemember. Henry Kravis... member. We could do this all day. In short, STFU.
Posted by Anal_yst , Nov 25, 2009 1:23PM
Apparently The Lloyd's apartment is the cheapest one in the building, obviously a charity case

@19 that must be because of its location in HELL.

@18/Tax Chick- Last I checked, Kravis lives at 625 Park (along with Morris Mark and Ira Rennert, amongst others).
Posted by The Donald , Nov 25, 2009 1:47PM
It's not very far from the Bronx.
Posted by Tax Chick , Nov 25, 2009 1:47PM
@23 - He does, he moved there from... [drumroll]... 740 Park avenue.
Posted by guest , Nov 25, 2009 1:53PM
ok so we established that @3 is an illiterate red neck with a reading disability. We further established that 740 is predominately jewish and LB is dick with ears. Now if LB's bonus bucks leads to real estate buying...
Its a Festivus miracle for all...

I have decided to give my house to GOSSIParino as a peace offering. NOT! They would not allow him in the building. Turkey Day greeting from 85 Broad Gasbag. Here's Lloyd's Love Letter to you from yesterday in case you missed it.
AHHHH, THE CHICKENS HAVE COME HOME TO ROOST (REV Wright) FOR GOSSIParino. TOO MUCH HYPE ON CNBC. TOO MANY BOGUS "BREAKING NEWS" STORIES THAT TURNED OUT TO BE LITTLE MORE THAN GOSSIP. TOO MUCH FALSE INTELLECT. TOO MAY DEE'S AND DOO'S. TOO MANY BOGUS REVIEWS BY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. TOO MANY CONTRIVED RELATIONSHIPS THAT WERE FABRICATED (unless you count crossing swords in the can). NO REAL KNOWLEDGE OF FINANCE OR ECONOMICS BY THE ACE FROM PACE. IN OTHER WORDS, TOO MUCH "GAS" IN THE GASBAG. IF YOU WANT "BEEF", YOU'LL HAVE TO GO TO WENDYS. THIS GUY IS PURE BALONEY. THE RESULTS (per Amazon) AS THIS IS WRITTEN = GASBAG AT #160 AND FALLING LIKE AN ITALIAN HO. ARS = 23 AND HOLDING STEADY. ROFLMAO, YOU'RE A FRAUD GASBAG. YOU JUST GOT YOUR ASS KICKED (and will for the forseeable future) BY A 140 POUND WEAKLING. CAREFUL; BESS MAY JUST DUMP YOUR ASS FOR THAT BSD - ARS. AND, FOR THE RECORD, I HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH HIM AND THINK THAT HE IS GAY! MAYBE YOUR BOOK SALES WOULD INCREASE IF YOU WOULD SIMPLY STFU!
BEST REGARDS - LLOYD
