Ex-Hedge Fund Manager’s Luck Not Yet Turned Around

By

A former hedge fund manager was beaten by his wife with a full bottle of wine following an argument this weekend. Susan Van Cook was arrested on Sunday, after Greenwich Hospital notified Rye, N.Y., police that her husband sought treatment for his injuries, which included a bite on the forearm. Joseph Van Cook, who was found to have late-traded mutual fund shares while working at Pritchard Capital Partners, required three staples and several stitches. “It was supposedly a full bottle of wine” Susan Van Cook used to hit her husband in the head, Lt. Joseph Verille of the Rye police told the Journal News.

    “It was supposedly a full bottle of wine” – Lt. Verille Rye PD

    Are there minimum sentencing guidelines for a full versus a half-full bottle of wine?

    If he was Bearish, he was beaten with a half-empty bottle of wine, If he is a Bull the bottle was half-full.

    Was she unsure about what it meant to “Ice” him?
