Hint: the one he hasn’t been trading emails with is the guy who tried to sell you some schwag in the alley behind 383 yesterday during lunch. Also, “We had 3 people who worked for us [at Bear]. We had Cy the Spy, one was called the ferret, and one was called, I think the weasel. And their job was to walk around without any notice, sit down with a trader and look at his book and query him. So constantly we were on guard against the one thing that could cause you into so much trouble, and that’s an employee burying trades, having something that went bad and not disclosing it, and of course it gets worse and he tries to cover up and then you have a loss of a billion dollars or in one case 7 billion dollars. Which you probably read about a few years ago. So that was always my big fear and we were particularly rough about that. And any trader that didn’t want to cooperate with those three people, I said “you’ll make my day, just let know about that.”

Ace Greenberg pet detective
I heard he saw Jay Z at a party and threw him his keys. Told Hova to, “Fill it with petroleum distillate and re-vulcanize the tires, post haste.”
He is wearing some serious flood pants what a geek
I gave Ace a prostate milking about three months ago. Let’s just say it straightened out his bow tie.
00:43-00:47 not a bad rump but would it kill her to show off a little more cleave?
Looks like the six flags guy without the energy.
peg was better off a small fish in a big pond
I blew myself.
Like a boss.
@6 tell me about it
Is Ace wearing shortpants?
This woman is a fucking idiot. Wow, no wonder nobody watches bloomberg.
Ace had and has no clue what is going on…but yet he made millions..He doesn’t know the diff between his false teeth and CDO

BSC was not a meritocracy. If you were in bed with some AARP member-SMD you could do well there regardless of intelligence. Upper management was loaded with geriatric cases and their flunkies who brought in no business, only understood cash equities, and took big comp. There were some good people, but most got exactly what they deserved.
Has been sell-out. You were on the risk comittee….
