A couple weeks back Guy de Chimay, the hedge fund manager who appeared on the first season of Wall Street Warriors telling the world “Wall Street takes the brightest people and smashes them into the pavement on a regular basis” and “Wall Street guys have really made the Hamptons what it is,” was accused of using clients’ funds to put towards his divorce bill and beach house, by the SEC. At the time, he remained relatively quiet, taking it like a man and choosing not to respond to the noise. But that was before things got ugly. That was before his ties to the Chimay Brewery were called into question. And now, he will not hold his tongue.

“We’re a family, a small family,” de Chimay, 47, said. “There are birth certificates, marriage certificates; they don’t lie,” reputed scamster Guy de Chimay told the Daily News in a jailhouse interview at the Manhattan lockup.

Belgian officials refused to comment on de Chimay’s claims of royalty. The accused con man did take his ex-wife to Belgium and introduced her to Prince Philippe, family and friends said.

You can claim he’s defrauded investors of millions or even billions if you’d like. When you claim he’s not a descendant of Belgian Trappist monks who not only make great beer but cheese too, you go too far. Animals.

    Can someone please comment on Brett Hickey, another Wall Street Warrior. Is that guy legit? Or for that matter, is anyone on the show legit? Thanks,

    Wall Street Warriors was just a collection of the biggest degenerate fucks in all of finance

    @3 Disturbing that one can get signing authority for a 20mm bridge loan without a firm command of how pronouns work.

    @8 Are you talking about a guy who “quit” his job as an analyst at Citi to go run five private equity funds? Would really love to hear this guy’s pitch.

    Hey Beth,

    “… was accused of using clients’ funds to put towards his divorce bill and beach house by the SEC.”

    Is the beach house by the SEC? Or was he accused by the SEC? Learn to write.

    That show gets better and better. I wonder if the waitress / night trader bought a house in the Hamptons yet.

    Bess @19, I love you and all, but that comma doesn’t help.

    The comment I posted @23 did not have “-16″ attached to it.

    Well hopefully he can use this time to diversify the family business into Pruno, Moonshine and maybe even mimic Madoff’s Macaroni Masterpiece success.

    Yeah, about the Brett Hickey guy being legit; definitely not. Contacted he and his partner Todd Roberts a few months ago, they led me to believe that their analysts, of which their secretary told me don’t exist whatsoever and that the two fraudsters go through business plans themselves, haven’t reviewed it yet. Next thing I know I’m getting an email from a competitor, who I’ve met many times at conventions and trade shows, telling me that he was thinking about buying a new ‘strategy’ from two NY businessmen and that he couldn’t purchase it on his own and wanted to work out a deal. Turns out, what I wanted to get funding from them for, they turned around and shopped the ‘strategy’ to competitors. I couldn’t believe that they have been in business for 7-8 years despite their dirty tactics. So much for people honoring nondisclosure agreements.
