When all is said and done, there are two types of men in this world. In one camp you have the kind who, when faced with criticism, will ably defend themselves, either through words or fists, or simply brush it off. In the other, you have the impotent little bitches. These are the ones who will immediately lose their cool and scream and shriek at you, their voices most likely cracking. Then they’ll throw coffee in your face, and chase you down the street. I’m not saying that Matt Taibbi is an impotent little bitch, but I am saying that this is apparently his chosen course of (re)action. If you want to come to the conclusion he’s an impotent little bitch, that’s your choice. From the latest Vanity Fair:
When I first contacted Taibbi for this story, he replied unenthusiastically. “Ugh. No way I can talk you out of this, huh?” he e-mailed. “In the end nobody really wants to read about a couple of overgrown suburban teenagers writing about anal sex and the clap and then calling themselves revolutionaries when some third-world dictator gets bored of letting them stay published.”
He then fell out of touch, re-emerged a month later, and agreed to meet me for lunch at a Manhattan restaurant. I arrived late, and he was visibly annoyed. There was no boyish smile. “I just don’t see why you’re doing this story,” he said. When I told him that Ames was now living in New York he grew more agitated. I mentioned some of the Exile pieces of his I planned to write about, and he said, “That was covered in the book.” I told him yes, that was true, but the book had been published in 2000, and, frankly, I didn’t think it was very good.
“The book wasn’t good?” he said.
“No, I didn’t think so,” I said.
“My book?” he said.
“Yes, the Exile book. I thought it was redundant and discursive and you guys left out a lot of the good stuff you did,” I said.
At this, Taibbi’s mouth turned down and his eyes narrowed.
“Fuck you,” he snarled, and then picked up his mug from the table, threw his coffee at me, and stormed out.
The restaurant was packed with customers, and they all turned to watch as I sat there, stunned, coffee dripping from my face. The waiter arrived with the milkshake Taibbi had ordered. After wiping myself off a bit, I went outside, where Taibbi was putting on his coat, and asked him to calm down and come back into the restaurant. He walked up to me, glaring, beside himself with rage.
“Fuck you!” he yelled. “Did you bring me here to insult me? Who are you? What have you ever written? Fuck you!”
I tried to talk to him, but gave up when he walked away. I went back inside, paid the bill, left, and began walking up Sixth Avenue. Halfway up the block, I turned around, and Taibbi was behind me.
“Are you following me?,” I asked. He walked toward me, raising his arms as though preparing to throttle me or take a swing.
“I still haven’t decided what I’m going to do with you!” he said.
“Are you kidding?,” I asked.
Taibbi-Cat wasn’t. But maybe this is an unfair anecdote to use in order to shed a little light on the boy who sits at his typewriter trying to come up with theories for how Goldman Sachs has been able to take over the world, then exclaims, “I’ve got it!” and furiously taps away that it all comes back to the chip Lloyd Blankfein had installed in his sack one night in the basement of the Federal Reserve. Here’s another one, involving MT storing horse semen in his fridge, and then throwing it in someone’s face.
Yet The Exile was too vitriolic to romanticize for long or to consult just its fans. And listening to the critics is too fun. They call Ames and Taibbi, singly or in combination, children, louts, misogynists, madmen, pigs, hypocrites, anarchists, fascists, racists, and fiends. According to Carol Williams, of the Los Angeles Times, “It seemed like a bunch of kids who’d somehow gotten funding for their own little newspaper.” A former New York Times Moscow-bureau chief, Michael Wines, offered a no-comment comment. “I think I’ll pass, thank you,” he e-mailed, “except to repeat what I said at the time, and what Shaw said a lot earlier: Never wrestle with a pig. You just get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.”
Of course, a pig is probably not the farm animal that comes to Wines’s mind first when he’s reminded of The Exile. It was Wines, then the Times’s Moscow-bureau chief, who, having won The Exile’s coveted Worst Journalist in Russia March Madness contest in 2001, was typing in his office when Ames and Taibbi rushed in unannounced and, by way of congratulations, slammed a pie in his face. The pie was made with fresh vanilla cream, hand-puréed strawberry, and five ounces of horse semen…[which Taibbi had stored] in a special thermos in his refrigerator, where his poor girlfriend had to see it every morning.”

Later, reporting from Manhattan, he exposed Wall Street’s complicity in 1998’s disastrous ruble devaluation, bought a gorilla suit, walked to Goldman Sachs’s headquarters on Water Street, and sat down on the lobby floor for lunch, announcing to the security guards, “If Goldman Sachs can make a $50 million commission selling worthless Russian debt, then I can come into their offices in a gorilla suit and eat a sandwich on their floor.
@10 just because you go into the comment section of a finance blog and berate the commenters doesn’t make you an idiot hippie. The bandana, torn jeans, Apple computer, bad breath, philosophy degree and body odour make you an idiot hippie.
The number of logical fallacies and poor communication skills make me think you may have sojourned in St. Petersberg at some point in your academic career. Wank off and go read a Che Guevera bio or something.

Listen up CHILDREN. Running around trading on daddy’s money, and making believe you own a business because you filed for a LLC or some incorporation papers or because you sat behind daddy’s desk doesn’t make you a business person.
The reason the entire country is in trouble has nothing to do with YOUR LIVES. You can lead your pathetic lives anyway you wish. Turn it into another episode of AS the douchebags turn.
Nobody fucking cares. Just get your dumb asses out of the banking business. You’re not Stock Traders. You’re not securities dealers. And you’re not BANKERS.
You’re just people who committed what’s commonly referred to in legal circles as Mortgage fraud.

The bank he’s created over the years, I don’t get how they seemingly avoided the abortion that is California real estate, but the fact that he’s cakin’ it, I respect that.

At least Cramer had the horse sense to go BACK to law school so he had some clue as what it was that you REALLY do.

See you’re Traders, not bankers which is fine. That’s a good thing. Get your dumb butts out of the Banking business.
Giving a trader access to the bank is like letting the Chicken Hawk in the coop.
Enjoy what you got. Now make some future plans that don’t involve what we just allowed you to perpetrate.
And for god’s sake, pay down some of that debt. It doesn’t fit you.

@budhak0n: Going to law school is pretty much a horrible idea except for the very small minority that don’t have to take out loans. See e.g. abovethelaw.com (n.b. Elie Mystal). And it had nothing to do with Cramer’s “success”.
@58 = @27?
This budhakon guy is hilarious. He’s got some blog out there where he bitches and moans about the consipiracy that is student loans and how he can’t pay his off because he didn’t learn any marketable skills in school. Pure gold. Sounds like Creed from The Office.
I would concur with the fact that Law school is a collossal waste of time. But I think some of the insanely stupid in your industry would be wise to seek some wise counsel but you do realize that the lawyers are right now laughing as hard as humanly possible in their offices.
See there’s a problem when you think you can “buy” everything you need. Money helps. But not everything’s for sale.
And it drives certain people Bonkers. Hey it’s ok. You’ll survive. Just do some wierd film like that guy who recounts his days as a Miami coke dealer and hang around south beach trying to latch onto Rodman when he gets out of Rehab.

@ budhacon – I have self-imposed a moratorium on using the words “lib. arts degree” but since we are discussing Mattie the Commie here, and since your comments are anti-Godly and anti-semitic, I cannot refrain myself to utter them in disgust.
To dumb it down for you: the role of banking in society is to allocate capital whereby the max return is derived @ the level of risk. Regulated allocation of investment activity worked pretty well for the Eastern Block.
So, regulate away, until 2012, or until the utter failure of the US of A to get its shit straight, whichever comes first.
Lawyers’ role in society is to mop up our messes, so be grateful we keep your ilk busy.
P.S./ I am ready to allocate some money to whatever assets you would have available in December 2011, when the one term experiment will be nearing completion. People like you make me think we need to petition GWB to come back.
@25 not bad but if you’d ever spent any time on a farm you’d know the stallion’s seed doesn’t come from anywhere near his face.

You’re saying you’re a Newt groupie, Brian?

No, I am a financial reporter who spent some time in the East, and loved the exile.
I found @27s comment amusing.
When I lived in Moscow, I used to read the Exile newspaper, it was free monthly rag, but appeared randomly. Mainly due to random cashflow.
Matt & a guy called Mark Ames used to run it, and the horse semen thing, that’s pretty mild compared to some of the other stuff. It was a small part of a radical libertarian experiment known as 1990′s Russia.
That said, Matt used to write the most amazing feature articles, and was the main reason why it was worth reading.
It’s a shame that all Matt’s eXile articles aren’t available online in the eXile vault. None of the really good ones are online here: http://exile.ru/authors/detail.php?ID=2281
But he was the one guy who really ‘got’ Russia.

The majority of Dealbreaker readers DO NOT sit around in their paid-for apartments trading daddy’s money in their etrade account; on the contrary, those who do (or claim to) are the subject of many a joke and insult around these parts.
Dealbreaker is read, as others have pointed-out, by those of us who actually work in finance, investment bankers, traders (across every asset class and most geographical locations, strategies, etc), money managers, academics, and all other sorts of professionals.
You, quite clearly, are not among this cohort. As a friendly (seriously) suggestion, do yourself a favor and show yourself out before you make yourself sound like an even bigger ignoramous. If you continue on this path, no good shall come of it, certainly not for you, although you’ve provided a good laugh thus far, so personally, I wouldn’t mind you hanging around slinging your brand of crazy ignorance (or is it ignorant crazy?) a little longer.

You seem to be enjoying yourself but on Deal Breaker you’re not likely to find a sympathetic ear.
You will certainly encounter those of a similar view at http://www.dailybail.com. There you’ll be able to focus on the evil of finance, advocate the elimination of the federal reserve and the return to the gold standard and maintain that the crisis was manufactured and, anyway, all the banks should have been allowed to fail.

@108. For someone in their late 40s, with 3 kids, and working on their MD, your comments are awfully juvenile. You realize you’re debating a pack of 25 year olds with a closet of striped shirts and fridge full of red bull, and still coming out the idiot, right?
Examine your motives.

@112 Ok once again simply cutting and pasting comments from another board on a completely different topic shows like I’ve said..
You’re rumor mongers.
You’re not bankers. You own very little. You build nothing.
You create nothing.
Please continue. Your main strategy in life is to attempt to practice some odd form of high school cheerleader rivalry.
Hilarious. Continue on. And who in the world thinks anybody wants empathy?
Hahahaha. Go ahead continue on and on about yourselves.
Hey when I was in Law school and worked for a City Solicitor I wore a suit too. Wow man.
Hey when I was a make believe hacker , I could do searches and come up with embarassing material using Google or it was probably Yahoo way back then.
Yeah I guess you’re not “FINANCIERS”. You’re going to have to go back to that maybe I’ll wait outside Mr Trump’s office again, or maybe I’ll just devise a way to turn water into Food concept.
Lol Go back to making Websites detailing your love of Jamie Dimon. Make cut out pictures and put them on your faces.
You’re not “Financiers”. Just like I said.
budhak0n- coming away the victor on the comment thread of this post will be like winning the gold medal at the Special Olympics. In the end, you’re still retarded.
@lowly – those would be spirit “points”, having issues today…

@113 I know exactly who I’m speaking to, just like somebody else “attempted” to speak to me in days gone by.
Bess, time to move onto USA vs. Canada hockey today, if you want to cross the 200+ comments mark, the welfare recipient is losing steam.

Stop feeding the fucking troll. Please let it go back to the hole, under the bridge, by the stream. please ….
@ the petty children.
My my my . You sure have DAZZLED the world today.
The ability to use a search engine coupled with the ability to write something snide.
What will we ever do now that you are against us?
Hilarious. Ok so back to the point. What exactly have you FINANCED in the past couple of years?
I see you have all met my newest protege, BudOnkaDOnk. Together, he and I will use our vast financial knowledge, acquired through our training in the medical profession (massage school) to finally express the OUTRAGE we feel at how you FAT CAT BANKERS (ok traders, as IF there were a difference) have plundered the Widows and Children of Main Street.
See, we know all about your fancy-schmancy Credit Derivative Swaps and other defaulty-thingies, and you can take your Collieterized SubPrime Hedge doo-hickies and shove them up your rectums! (That’s a medical term).
Please prepare yourselves to be shamed and belittled until you reform and repent and become productive members of society.
We WILL NOT BE IGNORED!

Whatever, guys. What counts is that the market shot straight up when this thread started. Thanks.
Listen folks. I think the President tried to explain this to you but it’s obvious we forget the age group we’re dealing with…
THIS IS AMERICA. Make a million.
Heck make a 100 BILLION but this time, try to do it with paper that sticks and if you did it with any funny money, well you might want to make some time in your nice little pretty padfolio you bought there with your overdue student loan as well.
This is the nonsense you’re dealing with. I’m a father you idiots. I own my home. Ordinarily I would have no interest in your lives and would hope that you go to rave after rave and party after party …
Live it up. This is a great place to be and you’ve most likely got a pretty nice life.
But stop with the abject fraud. Fraud is no way to make a living.
Hey it’s better than being broke but it’s not becoming of a group of people who want to be known as professionals.
I really like Taibbi’s writing, but it sounds to me like he has never really gotten his ass stomped inside out for acting like a prick to the wrong person. Or it just never happened enough for the lesson to take hold.
@bud -
Cut your losses now. Please.
@horse semen, coffee, et al -
Taibbi, bitch or no in person, is and has been a hell of a writer since I started reading the eXile in 2000. Whether or not you admire the man, his arguments are cogent and his language is vivid.
Still, it should be noted that his eyes are way too far apart.
@132 his writing is vivid yes. his arguments cogent? no. he’s utterly full of conspiracy theory shit.
can we all agree, that the double quadruple posts get a pass today b/c db still hasn’t pade their IT guys?
@budhak0n – the reason you were fired is because you weren’t a good writer, or for that matter very funny. I’m sorry you haven’t found another job yet, but I’m sure once Starbucks starts opening stores on every corner again, you’ll be back to making killer lattes. Hang in there champ.
PS – we do miss you mom, though. Be sure and send her our way for some Gregums lovin’.
or paid – as I said earlier, issues today.
Budakh0n / Brian Kelly -
So in your post #100, you mentioned not owing anything to any banks on any of your properties. I thought I’d check that claim out, so I went to the Cape May County recorder of deeds website (public records available to anyone, not using proprietary bank assets to spy on you) and found all of the deeds recorded in your name as either grantor or grantee. You seem to have been quite active in the real estate market over the years. Why, you and your wife seem to have purchased and sold many a property! In fact, if I were to venture a guess, I’d say you were a bit of a real estate speculator in your time. My God! That means I’m being reprimanded for being a wannabe banker by a fucking slum lord! A God damn house flipper? Who drove up that bubble market again? Who lead us into this fucking mess? Surely a fucking house flipper had nothing to do with it.
Not only are you a troll, shore trash, a goddamn house flipper and a nobody, you, sir, are a hypocrite. Take a good hard look in the mirror, and repeat after me – “I made this mess, too.”
@134. Someone needs to explain to Bess how shitty (IT-wise) their website can be at times. The whole multi-post, logins breaking, pages not loading trifecta is basically Computer Science 101. Even India could fix this crap for about 20k, and, yes, I examined my motives.
@136 – I applaud. Well done, sir. Well done.

136,
Bravo.

What the clusterf*ck is all this? So incoherent I couldn’t even make it past the first 20 or so comments.
Get your sh*t together DB commentariat.
@136 My friend you don’t know me at all.
I have NEVER flipped a house in my life.
My father was a member of Law Enforcement. My uncle was in the family business.
I too have had access to FICO scores and have traveled in nice circles. Hey when are you guys planning on refunding any of those origination fees you tied into all that toxic paper you generated on all those bad mortgages?
Woops did I hit a sore spot?
@140 dude, the db commentariat is fine, it’s this one nutjob who needs to be tased.
@141 – again, that makes no sense, whatsoever. Either up the dosage or drop it all together.
@rahodeb – dude, haven’t you gotten in trouble for this before (e.g.Wild Oats)? Props in any case for the research on our mildly amusing and extremely incoherent friend.
Can’t wait for Irish weekend this year! Budhak0n, I’ll see you there.
@budhak0n – I’ve tried to remain civil through this lovely discourse, but to be honest, you inanity is beginning to bore me. So, it has come to this, my final salvo.
May you die from the amassed ejaculate of a 1,000 anal horse rapings.
Good day.
@143 Just as I suspected. Children.
Ok enjoy your day trips to the Borgata and your make believe fairy tales. The truth escapes you for now.
Wow that’s great. You did a search on google and that was the extent of your grand “financial” insight.
There’s no mess you morons. Just an entire generation of kids who is going to grant you everything you deserve.
What ? Do you really think the 40 year old was never the 25 year old with the snide commentary? hahaha.
That’s great you got yourself a tie and a little job title that says finance next to it. Looks to me like you’re about a step away from one of those little cubicles at the ford dealer.
do we need to meet @bud at minetta tavern to put this to bed?
@rahodeb, you too will have 100 spirit point donated to the charity of your choice. well played.
@140 – please keep up.
All- does the rant @130/Budakh0n remind anyone else of the screed that dude in Austin posted prior to his kamikaze on the IRS office?
I don’t get it, what’s wrong with horse semen?
-Noel Sister
@141 – Origination fees go to mortgage originators, not the bankers that packaged the loans into CMOs (and for the record, I stand by the use of securitization in the credit markets), whoops is spelled with an h, and I haven’t a clue what your repeated reference to FICO scores is supposed to mean. I think it’s swell your father was a cop and that his brother sold used cars at grampy’s shop, but I’m not sure what that has to do with the dozen properties for which you’ve held deeds in the last decade (but didn’t flip).

@bud
rather than make broad generalizations and paint everyone who works in financial services as individuals who spent the ’00s in an evil lair, scheming on how to take down the world economy by packaging and selling RMBS, why dont you please explain to all of us what exactly you want. Also you’ve made some thinly veiled threats to the commentors on the board, please elaborate on what you plan to do. Frankly it doesn’t take a very big man to make threats on the internet and i think it really says a lot about both your intellectual capacity and your grasp on reality.
lastly, I work in finance as a tech stock analyst at an investment firm, i rent a small apartment that is well below what i can afford, and i have zero debt. please tell me how i contributed to the economic crisis?
Best,
@141 Yes I remember Rahodeb. I failed Contracts and Secured Transactions and Finance and all that wonderful stuff. NOT.
That’s great. You generated paper you knew to be false and you passed it off on a Government agency.
Sounds like Mortgage fraud to me. But I do so Love the Anagrams.
Jesus. Definitely only hit the post button once.
136 FTW!
budhak0n your incessant posting is nothing but jibberish in which you don’t actually make any semblance of a point. From your posts on the other board I gather you have ambitions within the medical profession of some sort and so while that’s very good for you I also think it’s fairly unreasonable for you to be commenting that wall street is the scum of society when you strive to enter an equally dysfunctional industry in the US where doctors are paid more then just about anywhere else in the world and are gouging that same main street individual, in instances up to and including life and death, you advocate for on here.
“Yeah I can make you better but you’ll be bankrupt because of it” Is that not the motto of your industry?
-from Canada, not at all a liberal
@Budhakon – I think everyone who has read this string agrees that you clearly have no real insight into this industry or what we do. The people on this website that you have so tirelessly tried to insult would not be insulted by your intended insults but rather by the fact that you assume we issue MORTGAGES!! I assure you that there is a middle or back office function for that, and my guess is that the people who actually issued those big, bad subprime mortages probably make less than your wife, so you should not be insulting them, but rather providing them with free health care services and subsidizing their housing by allowing them to stay in you slummed out properties for a discounted rent rate.
Oh, and I own my own home (without PMI biotch!), my student loans are current, and I’m a pretty kick-ass person to hang out with otherwise.
I’ve never said that Wall Street is the scum of society.
I’m sure there are plenty of honest people working on the street.
I’ve only said that Criminals should be prosecuted.
But I do so love the “We have a nondescript P.O. Box for this” And “you’ll have to talk to somebody in XYZ for that”.
Hilarious.
Oh and if you are making Payments, your bank owns your home but that’s besides the point.
Nobody’s looking to discourage young people who work. But some people would be pretty interested in some of the other stuff you’ve pulled lately.
What ? We never sold? We never wrote deals? We never saw any of this coming?
Boy you are a group of exceptionally naive children.
“But I do so love the “We have a nondescript P.O. Box for this” And “you’ll have to talk to somebody in XYZ for that”.
Are you confusing India call centers for your $5,000 limit MC with Wall Street?
@BudahkOn
Were I not out of the office today I’d hardly consider dignifying your inane, uninformed babble with a response, however, today is your lucky day.
How do you think the companies you depend on to produce the products and services you use every day of your life stay in business? Do you think they operate on a cash basis? They only make things when they already have the money on-hand or when they are 100% guaranteed of cash on delivery to the end customer?
Uninformed simpletons like yourself constantly stick to the claim that Finance produces nothing, that the entire industry is a leach upon the manufacturing economy. News flash, buddy, Finance has been around since the beginning of time, and will be around until the end. We do the (mind-numbingly boring, annoying, etc) work of making sure Dell has enough $ to make that new computer you just bought to start that new small business that we just enabled you to finance because your local bank didn’t have the resources/ability to do so.
Working in Finance (usually) isn’t glamorous; on the contrary, alot of what we do is painstakingly unpleasant, to the point that very few people want to, or could do it for any sufficiently long period of time. Combined with the fact that our clients value our services – after all, without us, they’re up shit’s creek – is why some in Finance get paid what most people consider a shit load of money. However, we realize we aren’t Heart Surgeons, saving people’s lives (or extending them, as it often is). We aren’t delusional (at least most of us aren’t), so we bury our faces in size 6-font 200 page offering documents and several-thousand-line excel models or whatever, and make our money.
I’m not sure if you’ve raised a single legitimate criticism thus far, and I’m fairly confident you are unable to do so, but on the off chance you can, please, enlighten us with your unrivaled Financial and Economic wisdom, oh heralded one!
I have to say, this comment thread was very fulfilling. Thanks budhakOn for allowing all of us to shit on you. The mid-late afternoon was quite enjoyable.
Wall Street isn’t even a real thing Champ.
A credit card isn’t even MONEY. There’s no confusion.
Certain people who would like to speak to certain other people have some very particular questions.
And keep this in mind, we’re not Saints either.
As long as everything was properly executed, you shouldn’t have any problems.
Oh that’s right, that’s when the lawyers come pouring out.
You step completely out of that bankers role into a defendants role quite nicely.
132 – Most of Tarbabi’s arguments are horse semen, not cogent.
@138 why the fuck would I need you to “explain” how shitty IT-wise the site can be? Are you under the impression I don’t read it/live it with you every day? Or just that I’m a ‘tard?
-curious in NYC
I was using “Wall St.” to further mock idiots like you who group every finance function together.
To clarify, I don’t think you can properly indentify any tasks or roles in the finance industry and how they have inspired your disdain.
budhak0n, I am going to at first, hit on most of your female law school teachers. Over time, I will gain their trust, slide them the salami, and learn their intimate secrets. At that time, I will offer your teachers my seed in exchange for a slight grade alteration of yours at which point you will be denied your horseshit degree. After that, I dump them.
-Jeff Macke
Well you seem to forget in order to have a “Finance” industry you have to have one component, and you’re doing a bang up job with that one champs.
Let’s clarify this. You make a living off of Other people’s social security numbers and income.
You have no respect for the rule of law and I would gather you don’t even know what those words mean.
And you’ve landed yourselves in the middle of just about the hottest water you could have EVER generated for yourselves.
And if you learned some manners, maybe some people would let you off easy.
But no, same nonsense , from people who have No clue what they are doing.
@bud
please put together a coherent arguement consisting of complete sentences, we have trouble understanding the random phrases & words swirling in your little head which you feel so inclined to regurtitate onto our message board.
also – please address the queries in my prior post.
best,
157
@171 You’re postings have made me change my entire view of the world. I am evil. I am going to leave the finance world. I am move up to Nashua, get a nice little spread, get some sheep and tend to them.
@ 172 You don’t have to worry about understanding my words my friend.
And I think the message is just about as coherent as they get.
By the way, keep your short sales and dirtbag monkey’s out of neighborhoods.
Go visit some more sheriff’s sales and GOOD luck in the future with your obvious talents at attracting NEW business.
People are just dying to do business with you again.
There are facilitators and there are leeches.
You fall into the no value added Leech category and frankly there’s some question as to the legality of your actions lately.
Normally civil courts stand for people to resolve their differences but there’s something ABOUT your story that just doesn’t fit.
Oh yeah, the abject mortgage FRAUD part LOL
budhak0n, you’re a fucking idiot. You don’t have one point that makes sense.
All your posts are filled with:
“Hilarious.”
“Champ.”
“Learn some manners, maybe some people would let you off easy.”
Here are a few of my favorites:
“Suck.”
“My.”
“Bonus-making.”
“Dick.”
“You fucking loser from wildwood.”
Just for shits and grins, I decided to distill budhak0n’s posts down to only the capitalized words. If you ask me, it makes more sense this way. Enjoy!
CHILDREN YOUR LIVES BANKERS WINNERS BACK REALLY BLIND MAKE IT THERE NEW YAWK, NEW YAWK BOO LOL NO WORK PIE NOBODY USE DAZZLE FINANCIERS DAZZLED FINANCED THIS IS AMERICA BILLION NEVER NOT XYZ MONEY EVER
@175 and you are most likely a Criminal.
Your point being?
Hey that’s Funny but LAST I checked, Somebody else I know was from a CITY, and somebody else I know has worked alongside all of you…
Hmmm. Let’s see I’m a Loser from Wildwood.
Why because I own my homes? And didn’t take out an ARM so I could gamble for higher stakes?
Hahahaha. You’re Broke my friends.
And many of you are facing prosecution in the days ahead. But good luck with that defense.
budhak0n and you are most likely poor.
You’re relevant how?
@bud,
oh my, you’ve really gone off the reservation…Joe Stack-style huh?
best,
172
PS – i just cant quit you
Well like I said, you’ve never really earned anything in your lives. You’ve spent countless years in daddy’s pocket and on mommy’s tit.
And now you get to have fun with the rest of us.
Oh and I’m not poor dumb ass. You’re the idiots who bankrupted yourselves.
Good luck in all your Future endeavors, “SHARKS”
Yeah nobody has ever come before you. Nobody could’ve EVER seen your blatantly obvious nonsense years before you pulled it.
Hilarious. Better start getting the boxes ready.
Bess, that was in terms of the “royal we”, not actually to you. A better phrase would have been “I have no idea who these people are or what they do but this shit breaks all the time and someone should tell someone to fix it and that, by the way, I don’t say that because I’m a douchebag (which I am), but because they’re either overpaying for whatever it is they’re getting or losing ad revenue because of it, so, either way, someone should slap someone around because it makes no sense, even ignoring my own self-interest.”
Sound more reasonable?
@176 that is art
@182 just going to reprint anal_yst’s voice-of-reason comment til it sinks in:
The majority of Dealbreaker readers DO NOT sit around in their paid-for apartments trading daddy’s money in their etrade account; on the contrary, those who do (or claim to) are the subject of many a joke and insult around these parts.
Dealbreaker is read, as others have pointed-out, by those of us who actually work in finance, investment bankers, traders (across every asset class and most geographical locations, strategies, etc), money managers, academics, and all other sorts of professionals.
You, quite clearly, are not among this cohort. Ergo, GTFO.
@douche nugget
You know the funny thing is? When I graduated college I thought finance was too benevolent. An old buddy wanted me to open up a Check Cashing/Payday Loan shop with him. He is now cakin’ it big time and I look like the idiot. Last time I try to do anything good for society.
@ The petty children.
I understand exactly my audience here.
I know everything there is to know about you. And I’m even like one of those wierd Gypsy people from the Boardwalk.
I can see YOUR FUTURE.
Hahahahaha. Now keep thinking that playing like you were in the Devil wears Prada is the same as being a Banker.
WannaBe nonsense from a group of dopey children.
Just another mess to clean up. It’s ok go get stoned. Go in Rehab. The world won’t miss you.
@187 “I understand exactly my audience here.
I know everything there is to know about you.”
what you actually meant to say was:
“I don’t know shit about you but being taken off my meds prevents me from understanding that.”
There. Fixed it for ya.
“I’m so ahead of my time, my parents haven’t met yet.”

budha koan, you’re trying too hard with your trolling. cut the posts in half and try again.

@Bud
“Me on the other hand I’ve spent a lifetime fixing your problems.” What have you ever had to fix for anyone on this board? You’ve made in clear you know ZERO about the industry we all work in. Now be a good little boy and go home and get your effing shine box
it’s people like budhak0n is what the subprime is in trouble.
@195 I have no idea what the fuck you just said.
200. amazing.
Why would anyone engage in this.
Budhakon = bernie madoff in the penitentiary cyber cafe.
word up shorty!
There is a bigger lunatic than me, then.
Listen, honcho, how is finance underwriting your town’s stupidity our problem? Did we force people to sign the dotted lines? Hell, whadda ya know, some of us never traded mortgage paper (or any “retail” paper).
Now, for $100 dollars – who destroyed more value, Wall St. or the commies? Riiiight.
Good night, and sleep tight.
Ok well Dazzling simply Dazzling.
I’m going to take what I learned today and put it work right away.
As if any of you had any clue what you were doing.
Oh and by the way, normally I wouldn’t address you at all because you’re peons.
Go back to the bad Bud Fox references.
Wow I sure wish I could wear a suit and have NO Idea what I was doing tomorrow. Hilarious.

@Bud
so it appears you are/were/aspired-to-be a phlebotomist. for those on the board that dont know, basically you draw blood from blood donors and plasma sellers…a blood sucker, a vampire. in taking their blood at the plasma center which you work at, you are preying on those less fortunate that you, very noble sir!
my gf is a physician (a fellowship in REI) and has, on many occasions, made fun of the phlebotomists, often noting that they are basically the ditch-diggers of the healthcare industry…no skillset or or meaningful education required yet they think they are actually contributing something.
@167-
The difference between Taibbi and Budhak0n is that Taibbi’s critiques are, in fact, cogent. He sets out explicit premises and then draws conclusions logically supported by those premises. You might draw different conclusions based upon those premises, or you might dispute the factual accuracy of those premises. Nonetheless, Taibbi’s arguments are not unsound (in the logical-analytical sense), even if you believe them to be invalid.
As for horse-semen pie, most of the young turks who comment on this site would probably shower praise on one of our own who pulled that gag on, say, a proponent of the Volcker rule. But, in truth, few besides Taibbi are that ballsy or sociopathic in real life. Those kinds of bona fides are what make Taibbi a potent critic in a political and media space otherwise dominated by the self-interestedly circumspect.
I feel really badly for his children.
I only do the phlebotomy thing as something to keep me occupied. It’s almost like charitable work.
But when you’ve figured it all out and how you’re going to latch onto the White whale.
You let us all know there bucky.

@ 210 . So let’s see we have invasion of privacy, and silly remarks about my kids.
Yes I can see where I’m really up against with this group.
Get off the crack junior.
@ budhakon: as said earlier, enjoy being the leftmost outlier in the distribution of wealth and fortune. (maybe you compensate with good looks, hopefully so, as proven brainless).
One suggestion – whatever your prescription, it is not working. Up it up, champ.
@205
I disagree with pretty much 75% of Taibbi’s “facts,” “assumptions,” and “premises.” He’s a sensationalist writer who’s in WAY over his head, who comes off as just trying to generate a name (read: $) for himself. He exhibits little, if any journalistic integrity (not that many do, these days), and should not, by any stretch of the imagination, be celebrated.
I can’t believe it hasn’t been said yet…but @ budhakon is so back office
BuDonkaDonk @158 -
“That’s great. You generated paper you knew to be false and you passed it off on a Government agency.”
Um, huh?
Please spend a minute explaining exactly what it is you think we all do / did do (for a moment I’ll live in your world and pretend everyone on this board does the same thing). You lose points for using the phrase MORTGAGE FRAUD.
I’m just trying to gauge your understanding of the thing you think you’re mad about, and that the collective “we” are responsible for.
Please give examples of what, specifically, you mean by the following:
1. Generated Paper
2. Knew to be false
3. Passed off on a government agency
Wow this thread has been a great read, thanks all!
Also I’d like to repeat (for emphasis) the distinction made by previous commenters between the following:
People who ARE mortgage originators
and
People who AREN’T mortgage originators
The first group, with the help of the financially illiterate, were the perpetrators of mortgage fraud.
I don’t doubt budaCon and his various aliases are responsible for 60% of the posts in this thread. Budacon, go play with your wooden toy & stop posting shit here.
–not buda
Oh my god…this guy is utterly clueless. Could you imagine having his brain in your head – actually having his mind, thinking his thoughts?
@118 I liked it.
@149 Was thinking the same thing.
fk budahack – his specious arguments have been undressed countless times on this thread. on to topics of more import: anyone going to HF Cares tonight at cipriani?
Why don’t you all come and say your comments to my face tonight – I will be at Cipriani in an hour. I expect all of you to show up since you talk a big game.
See you there, but bring your insurance card – you will need it when I am done with you.
@217 Yes.
hey buda
i financed your mom’s box
@ more petty little children. Now you have the site admin posting threats as if they are coming from me.
Ok you keep on doing what you’re doing.
You’re so “IN” nowadays. So stylish. So sexy.
Oh and you’re so mysterious. Nobody could ever decipher your intricate machinations about this or that.
Wonder what you do? Hilarious. I know what you do.
Like I said, when you grow up maybe they’ll let you in to play with the big boy toys.
For now you’re going to have to be content with quarterly reviews and make believe sailboats in your bathtub skippy.
@budhakOn
Why is it that you didn’t finish law school, or if you did, why aren’t you still serving that noble cause? Ranting about senseless litigation didn’t serve you well. How are you so pious now, was it the pathetic representation of delinquents under your lonely shingle that helped you make you peace? God knows the legal field creates so much good.
Where is your kid? Instead of spending quality time shaping your offspring you decide to wage a crusade against the “evils” of this world.
Go off, get your MD, overcharge patients and then come back here to tell of your value added.
I don’t speak for everyone but I do enjoy a scotched chilled with the frozen tears of children.

im voting for his grashusness mr. Ron PAUL in 2012. GO RON PAUL!!!
“let you in to play with the big boy toys.”
this is what Bud’s alcoholic uncle used to tell him he would get to do if he was a “good boy”
@ 223 Yeah as if we’re not going to have to clean up this entire mess. Sure we’ve never seen this before.
Wow you’re so original. Nobody could’ve ever dreamed up something so epic as this little dazzler.
For an encore, what you’ll do is simply follow your heroes, Arthur Andersen, Bernie Madoff, Bernard Ebbers, Dennis Kozlowski, and then when you run out of CEO Straw men to use as the fall guys, you’ll just move on to some other noble pursuit like Leg Waxing.
You don’t get it? This time you didn’t just scam a company. Companies come. Companies go. Hahahaha.
You really bit off more than you can chew on this one Punky Brewster.
And what’s worse is you think a guy like me has something personally like a group of ne’er do well little pissants like the smack asses involved in this thread.
You screwed yourselves. You just don’t get it yet.
@220 – “Now you have the site admin posting threats as if they are coming from me.”
Wow – you’re a wanna be lawyer, a wanna be doctor AND a wanna be tech guy! That’s an amazing repertoire of (almost) talents.
Please answer 213′s questions.
[and shhhh - nobody tell him about the "site admin" thing]
@225 exactly and they were shaped like fists and of assorted colors
You’re poor budhak0n. Hilarious.
You live in Jersey. Hilarious.
You’re bashing bankers. Joining the bandwagon. You’re so “IN” nowadays. So stylish. So sexy.
You don’t like leverage. Hilarious.
Hey “Skippy” or “Champ”, why don’t you be content spending 4 hours on a DB comment thread. Real good ROI on your time you fuck.
DEAR MR RON PAUL – PLEASE RUN FOR PRESIDENT NOW SO WE CAN ALL BE MADE GOODER AGAIN LIKE MY FELLOW AMERICAN BUDHAKON SAYS. WE HAVE TOOOOOO MUC FREE TRADE WHICH IS BAD AND TERRORISTS. WE CAN BE A PROUD AMERICA AGAIN WITHOUT TAXES FOR WALL STREET FAT CATS AND FAT CAT MORTGAGERS. WE NEED TO HELP CAR MAKERS LIKE FORD AND GM!!!! AND NOT TOYOTA!!!!!!!
SINCERLEY A FELLOW AMERICAN FOR RON PAUL
@225 exactly and they were shaped like fists and of assorted colors
@ 228 So lay it on me Financial PROFESSIONALS.
Lay it down. Yeah that’s what I thought . All nonsense. No substance.
Pretty much sums up your entire charade. That’s why somebody’s got to come in and fix it all for you.
You’re like a group of moronic 17 year olds at a shore house on Jersey shore.
Ya know. American Banking system. What the heck. Let’s smash it all up into a million bits.
Funny. Yes. Amusing. Not so much so. But since you’re starting to figure out that you’re broke and you’ve lost your lines of business and revenue, the writing is much more than simply on the wall for most of you.
Who are you kidding? You’ll never make it past the first pylon. What did your older cousin tell you the secret handshake or the how to interpret the mystery of the wanker review.
You just don’t get it. Oh you’re so pathetic.
This guy has to be kidding. Who references Punky Brewster. Really! I think social services needs to be called over to whichever shed you’re residing in and take you children away from you. You’re clinical!
Why don’t you present something of substance. Instead of just pointing your finger and hitting buzz words like “mortgage fraud”, “criminal” etc., detail out exactly what you thing the finance world is and where it went wrong. What financial products are you talking about? Do you even know?
Tell the voices in your head to shut up and DAZZLE us.
budhak0n,
Don’t do it. You have a lot for which to live. Your wife and kids – they love you.
What’s the over/under that bud here is actually DB’s sponsors driving up comments/page views?
He seems too retarded to read this and de facto any other finance blog (save, perhaps yahoo message boards, etc.). Why are people even debating with him? I doubt he’s a real person.
-The All Seeing Eye
I am the only one who really wants to hear about budhak0n’s 34th interview at GS?
Why in the world would I want to live in New York City?
Interview at Goldman Sachs? You’re just like a stupid drooling monkey. You remind people of bad character types like the douche from American Psycho who didn’t really that Huey Lewis was all that.
Play on a rugby team? Like to make believe you were an athlete? Make up stupid stuff about how you’ve re “derived” equations you copied out of your finance textbook.
Never really understood what the heck Einstein was talking about?
Never even bothered to understand what made Edison so successful?
You’re very adept at high school cheerleader psyche out games. A generation of “Bring it on” and Brittney Spears fans. Your entire contribution has existed of what exactly?
You’re off to a smashing start. What’s the encore?
Global destruction? Maybe widespread plague?
And what you don’t get is nobody’s angry with you.
We find you simply inept and overwhelmed by the job.
fucking attention whore. die already
I WANT TO LIVE IN SALT LAKE CITY. AND SUCK COCKS.
-BUDHAKON
Continue to ignore 213′s questions. You’re obviously scared to display the depth of you knowledge. We’ll try not to be intimidated.
Buda…Sweet mother of mercy, do you wonder why you come home every day to find your kid with a toaster in the bathtub and half-empty glass of bleach? I don’t.
I’m sorry you hate your life and live in New Jersey (mutually exclusive?). If a sharp object is nearby and you’re ready to do us all a favor, remember the cardinal rule: it’s better to go down the “road” than across it.
And please, stop capitalizing random words.
I think the source of enjoyment we’ve collectively gained from this admittedly incoherent string of posts by budhakon stems from the fact that type A personalities like ourselves tend to suffer from inferiority complexes (you know it’s true my fellow future BSDs of America), and Budhakon’s inability to clearly and concisely express himself as the representative of the medical field has reassured us all that we are significantly smarter than the average middle-aged wanna-be MD who plays mr. mom to three children while wishing to one day be able to contribute the equivalent of a first-year analyst’s compensation to his family’s financial pot.
Or maybe @236 is right, in which case we all feel completely duped. Does anyone really want to see behind the curtain?
Dazzle DAZZLE Vajazzle. Chump.
Yeah HILARIOUS. So brillant?
That’s what I thought.
Epic. Lea Fastow. Petty little children. Bonfire of the Vanities. HAHAHAH!
That’ll you got? I thought so.
~Guy who gets it
I’m not which I’m more disturbed by: the fact that Budha Koan is a complete retard, the fact that Budka Koan is trolling the shit out of all of you, or that said dumbshit has been posting every 5 minutes for the day.
Everyone here is dumber than shit.
You know who’s dumber than shit?
A group of crack addicts and Jennifer Aniston make believers who think they are bright because they can copy down a proxy statement or can read a 10-K filing.
Oh wow did somebody teach you how to read Edgar filings? You must be a Financial GENEEEEEIUS
Nah just another dumb bitch as who looks and acts like Hillary Duff
Come On “FINANCE” Experts. What wonderful IPO’s and other issues have you brought to the world?
What no IPO’s either?
M&A? No M&A ? No Financings. Hmmmm.
No new issues. Hmmm.
No original thinking. Yes just an entire group of cheerleaders looking to latch on SOMEWHERE, anywhere with the hope that the fact that we’ve annihilated our traditional revenue structure we’ll have a job in 2011.
Oh and a Gigantic overleveraged Mortgage with a leased vehicle in a city that charges more money per square inch to park it than a trip to the Left coast.
Better devise some more silly paper structure.
Nobody truly understood the purpose of the 33 or 34 act. Nobody actually Wrote prior acts before.
Where do you think Sarbanes Oxley originated ?
A bunch of clerks running around playing paint by numbers with an ever changing template handed down to you every couple years on demand.
Squawk like a Bird. Bok.
I say “Proxy” you say “securitization” Bok Bok.
Go Monkey go.
Hey I can read SIC codes and do reverse lookups on DNS.
My finance textbook told me I’m special. Hilarious.
I have a picture of Charlie Sheen in my wallet. My shoes are the finest I could “finance”.
I believe in “leverage” even though I’ve never been in an actual negotiation where i knew how to use it.
I make snide comments about people I don’t know and overgeneralizations about subject areas I don’t understand to make up for my lack of orginality or my ability to think clearly.
I blame everything on everybody around me and know the names of trendy bars and coffee houses and think that if I wear the latest fashions maybe someone who really knows what’s going on around here might actually find me less than plastic.
Oh and I THINK A fucking story about another one of my fucking juvenile journalists who also behaves like a cast member of SAVED BY THE BELL is somehow a window into the WORLD of GLOBAL finance.
Petty children running around acting self important.
And this is why you find yourselves where your “industry” stands today.
On the precipice of TOTAL dismantling and restructure, but i’m so freaking DUMB that what I’m going to do is have an overpriced Cosmo and maybe get one of my favorite magazines and dream what it must be like to be on a Runway.
did i catch a ‘bring it on’ reference thrown in @ 237?
This guy is an excellent troll. He should sell Chewlies gum.
No more to see here. Move along.
The gift that keeps on giving. What a joy. Wow.
Keep going!!!
db=msm’s bitch
@ Bud “The Bukake Taking Machine” Fuck Nuts Fox:
Please answer one question for me, where exactly did you attend law school? Please I am dying to know what esteemed institution produces attorneys who profess to be competent in employment law only to be corrected by a group of back office HR chicks (or maybe a few extremely beta dudes)? (see: http://www.laborlawtalk.com/search.php?searchid=6022679)
Also what’s up with that D in fucking SCUBA class? And let’s here about those “pock marks” on you record?
Judging by your loathing of GS and intensely insane rants I am currently trying to find a website or bookie that will take odds on someone launching some kind of attack on 85 Broad. I was going to go with the plane theory a la Mr. Stack but decided not to for two reasons. First is Manhattan so you’d probably get shot down quicker than you probably did with every woman you ever talked to until meeting your I’m sure very ugly as well as probably not faithful (yea your taking the kids to school and she’s probably banging some male nurse or some shit), yet more alpha than you wife. Second, Stacks’ manifesto, albeit insane, actually did make some sense and actually did correctly state a few points of law, a task you seem to be incapable of.
In summation, what are you an effing Palin? (didn’t you hear? it’s the new word for reta
LOUD NOISESS!!!!!!!!!!
Wake UP already! We WANT MORE! PETTY!

Ha ha ha ha. I see I’ve found an audience.
Now he’s got my Grades from Penn State.
LOL. Hey I’m an Open Book and guess what I have that YOU DON’T.
Ah life is so hilarious sometimes. It’s funny how it all works out.
You’re broke. You’re running around trying to collect on behalf of your employers or your employing corporations money that you’re never going to get.
You’re way over your heads AND you’re insulting one of the people in the country that during a near DEPRESSION owns everything he has and has nothing but equity.
Yeah Champs. Keep going. You think you’re laughing at me?
“LEVERAGE” is a Television Show. This website is nothing but the ramblings of people who need therapy.
You have no EQUITY. You have NO CAPITAL.
Should we spell that out in our legal filings as well?
The only reason people are allowing you to stay in your homes is because it’s a better alternative to tossing you out in the street.
Getting 30 cents on the dollar from a deadbeat is better than getting nothing at all.
What you really think growing up we “NEVER” knew who we were dealing with in the end?
We never KNEW who was sitting next to us in class?
SUBPRIME? Me hahahahaha. You walk into rooms without any understanding of what you are to most people you come in contact everyday.
You’re a Mark. A schill. Just a silly anecdote.
I met a girl the other day who was working in a bank who reminds me a lot of some of the posters on this site. She wanted to tell me great stories about how her dad was a doctor in the army but never really HAD A HOUSE.
Who the f runs around from place to place without a house? Who the f has no roots other than what they could put on their credit card or equity loan before runing to another town or another state with bankruptcies chasing behind them. Yeah that’s right people in “FINANCE” who like to say they work for a BANK. morons. dope fiends.
Your entire goal in life is to wind up in or near miami beach packed in a few Million OTHER LOSERS.
PETULANT CHILDREN,
WHEN ONE OF YOU FINALLY MAKES IT TO MY HOSPITAL IN SOUTH JERSEY, I’M GOING TO FEIGN PLEASANTRIES. YOU WILL THINK I’M THE MOST NICEST MALE NURSE IN THE WHOLE LAND. BUT THEN, WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT, I’LL PLACE THIS CATHETER IN A VERY UNORTHODOX SPOT ON YOUR DISGUSTING, HATE-MONGERING, ELITIST BODY. YOU WILL WONDER WHY THE PROCEDURE IS TAKING SO LONG. YOU’LL FIND IT SUSPECT THAT I’M MOVING THROUGH YOUR RECTAL CAVITY WITH THE THERMOMETER. YOU’LL ASK YOURSELF, “SELF, WHY ISN’T THE NICE MALE NURSE WEARING GLOVES? WHY DIDN’T HE PROVIDE A COOKIE AND JUICE BOX AFTER MY DONATION OF BLOOD? WHY DIDN’T HE CHANGE THE SHEET ON THE OBSERVATION TABLE?” YOU WILL WONDER WHY I’M MAKING DOUBLE PHOTO COPIES OF YOUR LICENSE AND INSURANCE CARD. YOU WILL WONDER WHY I’M WHISPERING UNDER MY BREATH, IN A MENACING MANNER, “FUCK CIGNA. FRAUD. MORTGAGE. CDO TO THE 5TH POWER. DELTA. BETA. ALPHA SAYS WHAT?” YOU’LL SAY WHAT, BEFORE REALIZING WHO I AM. YOU WILL SLOWLY BACK AWAY TOWARDS THE DOOR, BEFORE SCREAMING “BUDHAKoN!!!!!!!” AND YOU’LL BE RIGHT. BUT THIS TIME, I WON, BECAUSE I HAD MY FINGER UP YOUR ASS.
-BRIAN KELLY
Oh and Mr smack ass. All your complete nonsense can be turned around on you quite easily but you’re the type that wouldn’t show up for the proceeding.
You’d cite some nondescript degree from Vassar or Cornell or some other ubiquitous institution of the gently stroked children ….
Harvard, Yale? They wouldn’t even read your application but you like to play games with applicants.
You probably scored somewhere in the neighborhood of 1100 on the old format SAT. You’d probably be somewhere in the 2nd quartile in the LSAT.
And you spend your days tied to a website ABOUT GOSSIP, thinking it’s tying you into GLOBAL ECONOMICS.
No the truth is this. You can’t afford to Live where I live because you can’t get a MORTGAGE Because the one you’re in now is so freaking overleveraged, that the bank is thinking of tossing you out any day now.
You make phone calls to Debt “settlement” companies.
You call your mortgage lender each month weeping about how you can’t afford to pay THAT much.
When you get in trouble, you ask for the help of the federal government so you can continue your life in a Rat infested hellhole that makes you feel important because you salute a flag or walk by a bull every once in a while.
Cab drivers know you’re a mark.
Police Officers know you’re a suit.
Firemen laugh at the fact that you take yourself seriously.
You spend your days HOPING that the perfect assistant walks through the door any moment in the hopes that you won’t have to write or read the same inane nonsense for yet another week.
budhak0n, please start commenting on more recent postings: http://www.dealbreaker.com
