Matt Taibbi has a new article out. See if you can guess what it’s about. Were you going to say evil bankers and particularly the evil ones at Goldman Sachs? Of course you were. In MT’s latest, we “learn” that all banksters used junkie, con-men-like attitudes, and that Blankfein’s super power resides in his “pair of giant, nuclear-powered testicles.” So now you know. Also:
At one point or another, pretty much everyone who takes drugs has been burned by this one, also known as the “Rocks in the Box” scam or, in its more elaborate variations, the “Jamaican Switch.” Someone sells you what looks like an eightball of coke in a baggie, you get home and, you dumbass, it’s baby powder.
exqueeze me? CDO’s?
I got scammed like that once, but instead of baby powder, it turned out to be Keith Richards’ dad’s ashes.
Taibbi needs to realize that no one cares, because it will never change. GS will be here after the cockroaches, which is what they are. He does bring up some good points though
-Former AIG Mortgage trader who didnt make money rather he printed it.
Uh, I don’t know anyone who’s ever bought an 8ball and ended up with anything but. Quality may be questionable, but baby powder? Jeeze this Taibbi is a n00b.

It’s uncanny. Almost as if Mr. Taibbi has bugged the office.
What he will soon find out is that I now employ all the blow slangers in the city and that next time he needs his fix it will be goldbond bc LB is my boy!

Does Matt break stories, or is it his water that broke? Can’t ascertain with certainty. Seems like he has an octo-mom-like fixation on the Scrott – wants to have his babies and all? Wait, what?
“The nation’s six largest banks . . . set aside a whopping $140 billion for executive compensation last year”
Methinks Matt Taibbi doesn’t understand the meaning of executive compensation.

Pics or it didn’t happen.
Considering that the average Rolling Stone subscriber aspires to achieve little more than an assistant manager position at Starbucks, I wouldn’t be too worried. That, or a Berkeley political science professor. Those are kind of the same I guess.
Anal_yst @4,
Easy with the market color on yeyo there cowboy.
No one, other than your yokel cousins is buying your “badass finance mofo” shtick. The closest you’ve been to 8balls was at that gents-only “soirée” you attended…
I had a similar experiences, but instead of baby powder, the Jamaican slipped me some of Keith Richard’s dad’s ashes.
At a risk of coming under fire yet again, Matt went to Concord Academy and Bard College, and then a year (exchange) to St. Petersburg Polytechnical University (a commie?!). Can I use the term “liberal arts degree” now, or is the buy side going to annihilate me with napalm, by default?
It’s a fucking milligram of sweetener. I want to get high off this, not sprinkle it on my fucking oatmeal.
Good old Concord Academy where the girls are girls and the boys are girls too
Yael, switch up your format a bit, whydontcha? The old “guess what yadda yadda” schtick is getting old.
Read up on Greg. This kind of stuff got him run out of town.

@17, you are a ginormous aristocratic pretentious ballbag. That wont change, and everyone knows it. Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard, whats your point??
@23: Maybe, but then I wouldn’t know an eight ball even if it hit me in the face.
How is what Goldman does different than what all Banks do? I like JD as much as Bess, but why is snatching BS for a dime with a backstop different than what GS did? Or why is Thain not sainted by ML shareholders? The arguments used are so weak, it implies the person who wrote the article is an (Apple? This is then somewhat tolerable) mouse weaver.
@23 and LeBron went from high school to the NBA… who gives a shit. Ivy Leaguers are usually better than your narcotic doused liberal arts degree holder. There are exceptions to the rule, but stereotypes usually have more truth than fiction.
Now go get your fucking shine box!

@25, ive worked with and out-earned more than my fair share of Ivy league douchebags. Usually they wax poetic abt their years at yale or harvard etc well into their 40′s(after most people are done talking about where they went to school) because its all they have to hang their hat on. Now go get my coffee, run along now
@23, you sound like you would know and are familiar with two balls hitting you in the face. HYD, thanks for playing
@17, i went to brown and dropped out to sell chicles in cancun. my liberal arts degree has afforded me an uncanny ability to understand the human condition and sympathize with others in an articulate manner. oh wait nevermind i have a finance degree

Oh, and @25, we always, ALWAYS take yur women. But that goes whithout saying….

Matt Taibbi is angry to be Matt Taibbi.
I sympathize.
@ 27 – let’s see if we could get the posts above 100 on your strenght alone.
P.S./If you use your liberal arts brain cell, you might consider that two balls in the face might be an enjoyable proposition. But then, I would not what you know as dorms of libart campuses are a black hole to me.

@32, did you learn that grammar at Princeton?
Taibbi should send Goldman a bonus check and a thank you. Hes made his living off them. No GS blame, no MT fame.
@32 try again. you write like a retard

1. I’m a Jew from NY/NJ, we don’t have any yokel’s in my family.
2. what “badass finance mofo” schtick? Taibbi’s experience must be based off being a naive college freshman buying yack for the 1st time to impress the sorostitutes or something, or, like with the rest of his writing, he’s just reaching with poorly-crafted hyperbole and fluff to mask the lack of actual material or analysis.
@Anal_yst
LibArts colleges ditched the sororities, much to thier detrement
Princeton thankfully still has sorostitutes.
multitasking. someone has to pay you some fees, after all, tards. all your bases are belong to us.
@ 25 /26 – is that you Tommy “Two Times”?
@39 thanks for the confirmation that youre a loser
What exactly is a “Matt Taibbi”?
@39, you are done. Again, thanks for playing, we have some lovely parting gifts for you.
YOu are clearing my trade while getting my coffee, only multi-tasking you are doing.
@volatilitysmile once you finish clearing 39′s trades and getting his coffee dont forget to get the newspaper, the newspaper.
-the real Tommy Two Times
In an alternate world, I can easily see him as a banker. He has the whole being a loud asshole part (complete with the vocabulary) down pat.
What is up with the Anti-Anal_yst stalkers?
Listen, as much as I enjoy your punishment, I will go now to teaching other kids how to spell “youre a loser” like a mouse-using lib clown.
Thank you for playing, the pleasure was all yours, and all.
@47 Your typos and incoherence are seriously compromising this “I’m smarter than you” shtick.
Volatility Smile – That might make for a decent ‘deranged serial killer’ movie. Unpredictable psycho clown type character with a penchant for knives.
“Where every smile, might be your last, HAHAHAHA”
Anal_yst, what are your thoughts on your thoughts?

@48 I missed a word, ’twas not a typo (I’m also intellectually challenged, so you are going after a handicapped person, you vile eavil devil). Now, good bye, a “plane” awaits.
@ Covered – you complete me. You, and negative convexity.
@43 are you translating this to english on the internet?
@27: 32 is definitely coming on to you.
-Yalie
@ 54 – Guy crush. Agression is the first step towards unconditional love.
Although, I promise solemnly to Bess to never ever mention liberal or arts in future, as he’s also as predictable as a Pamplona bull facing red cloth.
Can we just all agree that Florida sucks?
#56. Yes. Florida sucks. Georgia blows.
I am at a Starbucks a half mile from Oklahoma Christian College and the phrase “nuclear powered testicles” made me laugh out loud and then all the little Christians here after classes stared at me like I was a heathen.
The exchange to Russia is obviously the more obvious circumstance leading to his communist influence than the libart colleges.
Taibbi should paint himself red and run through a corn field backwards. Dirty hippie.
I’m going to pistol whip the next ass-clown that uses the word “shtick” in this thread.
