Gang,
I need your help with something. Earlier this morning, I was informed of the following: “I just had coffee with someone who can’t get a job because of an article you wrote.” Now, despite what you may think, I have many sensitive bones in my body. If I were actually directly responsible for someone not being able to get a job, or suffering otherwise, I would agonize over this for days and probably even longer than that. I would also offer to do whatever I could to rectify the situation. So naturally initially freaked out and responded, “Who?? What happened??” It was at this time that I was informed that the person unable to get a job, allegedly because of me, “had worked at a prime brokerage and was named in a lawsuit regarding sexual harassment.” For those of you with short memories, this is the guy who told a female colleague 1) “You should do what you’re supposed to and lie on your back with your legs in the air,” 2) “It moved,” referring to the effect she had on his penis and 3) that he “shaved It for tonight,” in advance of an outing with colleagues. So, this fellow has had some difficulty getting a new gig, not, he believes, because he’s named in a lawsuit as a major legal liability, per se, but because I wrote a post based on said suit. And he would like to know if I will take down said post down.
So, what do you all think? Should we here at DB show some compassion to this smooth operator? Or should his one-liners remain available for all to see (which they will anyway, as the suit is online and written about in other venues but, you know, on DB)? There’s only one fair way to figure this out this, so: vote now. Polls close at 4, at which time his fate will be decided.
Should the post come down?
a. Yes
b. No
c. Other (what?)
This should be fun
Oh Bess, your causing so many problems
I think you keep doing what you just did. Post the whole episode again and again. Make it a permanent post for each day’s opening stories.
wish I could read the survey…
Enhance survey, enhance!
worthless polling service is not working so we’ll have to do this manually. answers in comments, please.
Anyone that stupid doesn’t deserve a break. Even at a trading desk, you don’t say shit like that in mixed company and if you get caught you have nobody to blame but yourself.
He should pick a different industry. The world needs convenience store owners too you know, so all isn’t lost for this social moron.
I won’t comment on the name.
C… send his resume to UBS
No
D…pin it to the top, bolding his name and all his quotes.
Bess, recommend him to Rebellion Capital or whatever the hell their name is. STAR has nothing against things that move.
Do it manually? Okay then, moose puppet is coming out of the drawer, and I’m discretely sneaking him into the bathroom.
D. Fuck No.
Give him the first annual award for Dealbreaker quote of the year.
That should spruce up the resume.
eight comments and no jokes about bones in her body. I am disappointed.
-Guy who is disappointed.
shaving it is the new killing it
TLDR;
D. Fuck No.
I have an idea. How about some personal accountability? You cant get a job because you can’t control yourself, not because someone wrote public information in another public forum.
However I would love to see the snivelling fool come on the board and actually state his case
I choose …. C) Tell him to be a real man and fess up to the fact that he has no game with women or as a sales guy because he cant even sell an HR person on his skills.
Is that too Harsh?
@19 Someone tell this guy it doesn’t matter, whats done is done. The point is moose.
Hmm. If you wuss out on this, Ray Dalio will know that you’re weak. OTOH, Stevie will respect your sense of discretion.
Set up a meet and greet with him and Jeff Epstein. They can shave each others eggs.
@16 – I bet Bess drinks lots of milk and has really healthy bones. –Like that?
SHE MOVED IT! WHAT IS THERE TO DEBATE?
This moosedoosh has no business being in Bess’s inbox, its god damned national treasure for christs sake. Fucking, Cannucks.
Let him write an explanation and public apology, then link it to the article. Take out both the article and apology after 90 days.
In San Francisco, peens move you.
@20 – don’t try to start that Bullwinkle. The Cow threads were hoofriffic enough, we don’t need anything more of that elk.
No.
@ Bess, the notion that you are somehow to blame for the relentless pussification of the industry ongoing since the good old days of the breastnapkin is entirely without merit and absurd on its face.
In Soviet Russia, It moves YOU! Also, no.
Tar-n-fur him and leave him at Dennis Kneale’s doorstep with a note that says “Will work for food”.
No way, leave it up.
…Posting too quickly
Tell the little piss ant that next he harasses a woman she is going to cut his tiny weeny off and feed it to him for lunch. Put a link to the article everyday until he learns his fate in court.
I don’t see how this is any different from the things someone who calls himself anal_yst writes on this board every day.
c) repost with additional details
or
d) make him one of your NY Mag interviews… and then c.
Something about this guy doesnt pass the litmoose test
B.
Hell no.
He should be fine if just swallows his pride and taps into his SUNY Albany alum network.
A. Yes
Drop the article. Life is too frigging short. There a tons of news much better than a jobless repented perv.
No, of course not, keep it up.
I think the guy gives DB and the suit too much credit for his predicament. Who wants to hire someone that got canned from RBC?
40 is either Robert McGuire/Brit Railston/a salesperson.
Leave the post up. Not your fault this guy has no freaking discretion/sense of the situation/game.
I remember 34 from my days in business, I used to yell across the trading floor “jesus chris lady do your fucking job and moove this shit already.” I also think some comments about meat wallets and the importance of using the green side to knock out spaghetti sauce were made by some of my colleagues.
Get harassed by ________!
-Snickers Ad Manager
This guy is perfect for CIO at Handbridge, no?
b. No. He let “it” come out. We’re just ripping on him. This is Amurrica, we can do what we want.
C: Repost the article every day….
Take the post down if he let’s you post a picture of him on his back with his legs in the air and a “it moved” tshirt.
Hey you fucks, what about me, can you remove me from the websites records!?
B
C. Send me his résumé.
-CG
A – Obviously. This sounds serious.
Let’s just call him _______, actually no, that’s too obvious, let’s go with ______.
I’m with D. Fuck No! The asshole deserves it!
D. Fuck. No.
Jack Abramoff got a job …

… so can this douche
No wonder we keep on hiring so many financial dickheads!! We’re not reading Dealbreaker!!!
~Mortimer Duke
Duke and Duke, LLC
Philadelphia, PA
a. take it down. If only to appreciate the Costanza ref.
@ 42, the SEC is hiring like it’s their job.
It’s really tough to say without pitures of the harrassed ladies.
Bess, I have been unable to build my client base because of all the time I spend reading and commenting on the funny articles you post on Dealbreaker. So, you see, my troubles are your fault.
B now I’m interested and want to read about said douche bag. Also consider D offer him a job (at DB, not of the hand/blow variety)
- Guy you gets pity jobs of the hand/blow variety
B. Then invite him to Beamers field trip as a peace offering.
How has nobody suggested forwarding his resume to Man group?
Karma
B no BTW im not sure he cant get a job bc of this website or because he has no filter in his brain to filter out the inappropriate comments. I can only imagine his comments in an interview. “Hey your Secretary has a great rack, I would”
A
c – repost.. I don’t want to go looking for it
C – tie him down and subject him to endless shaLabeouf pix on repeat until he apologizes for such abso-effin-lutely terrible lines (seriously?)…if they were at least funny he may have gotten away with it–
Chick who has had SheLay runnign screamin around on bikes and blowing things up outsode my house last 2 wks
Are you sure this “guy” even has an “IT” to move? Blaming someone else for his lack of employment seems like a pussy move to me!
@34 who let you out of the fucking kitchen? get back in there and make me a sandwich
B. F-no! unless you get something for it in return. something really good. ps bess i luv u
@70 How does it feel to know that I can control everything you do with a small slit between my legs that oozes slime? Ya that’s what I thought, sit back down and get back to trying to make more money so you can get access to our ooze hole chump.
@72 no means yes and yes means yes. where’s that sammich?
Screw him.
Actions have consequences, and perhaps his next job, which might require wearing a name tag, won’t be as ethically demanding.
Please send me his resume. I have a way of handling these testosterone ridden types.
-Ping
@72 what if you’re into ladyboys
-SEC Employee of the Month
@75 they wear name-tags at Bridgewater.
@77 (Bess Levin) As a reminder that they once had names?
@Bess – how embarrassing for them. So I’ll revise and extend:
“…which might require wearing a name tag and a greasy paper hat…”
Psssh. What a pansy. When you wrote about me, I printed out the article and framed it in my office.
I can’t vote.
-A woman
2. Those who are about to die salute you.
@72 Hmmm you have a point…Fuck
@72 yes, & it’s worth it
Vote B & repost request Besser
@72 yes, & it’s worth it
Vote B & repost request please Besser.
–posting too quickly
how bout you are not getting hired because you brought in a ponzi client?
Shocked that no suggested that he could have a new career as Dov Charney’s assistant at AA… seems like he would fit right in. Might need to change his wardrobe.
yea maybe since 9/11 when everyone got so sensitive. thanks a lot bin laden
Let he who has no sin cast the first stone
I Can’t vote.
-Woman
Bess,
The details of the original story are a little murky and I’m too lazy to use the search function. Will you please repost the story so we can re-read it and then make a decision? I think it’s only fair to the guy that we have all of the facts fresh in our minds.
Thanks
B. of course not;
repost, please;
Bess, are you still sending out philly cheesesteaks?
http://dealbreaker.com/2009/09/lindy-boville-rbc-was-the-one-who-set-me-up-with-a-ponzi-scheming-boyfriend-in-the-first-place/
B. No Live by the cunt, die by the cunt.
B
thank you, 93.

@72- I bet you’re looking really sensy today.
PS- it moved.
The guy obviously has a small dick, and certainly has not pulled any serious wool in his life, but I happen to hate it when women can’t shut some guy down by smacking him right back.
Answers she should have used:
1. “I thought most of the people you fucked were on their stomachs and biting a pillow.”
2. “How can you tell when something that small moves”, and then she should have pointed and laughed, and called him tiny for the rest of the year.
3. “Wow, maybe you should get you vagina waxed next time.”
3. “Congratulations, I didn’t know that yours had dropped. This must be a very exciting time for you.”
I’m not in the finance industry, and I work in a field where women rarely make the cut (not male on male porn, although at times it feels like it), and I certainly don’t have any women working with me, but this guy is a needle dick.
I happen to think that sexism as practiced by dickless guys like this, that have never risked their lives in combat is pretty sad. If a woman was able to make the cut with my unit, and she could pull her weight, then I wouldn’t bust her chops with statements like that. These are the classless comments of an individual that never needs to depend on the man or woman next to him to literally save his life and drag him out of the line of fire.
Bess, let the guy burn. He should have been man enough to have spoken to you directly. He should have been man enough to stand behind his words. And most importantly, in this litigious society, no one deserves to be hire this prick.
@ 97 & @ 98, both FTW. except for 98′s comments– those were already understood
some people should be left unemployed… period
SEC regulations restrict me from disclosing how i voted…beep boop beeep…
STAR
C) Bat wing that son of a gun. Although respectfully.
what is the vote tally?
Yes – 1
No – 1
Other – 4
what a fail vote; the vote is @20 “moose”
@98 how apt that u describe your unit as feeling like “male on male porn”. I bet women can never be hard enough to join in
dear crying little f**got who blames everyone else for his own actions,
i hear BP is hiring pelican scrubbers down in bayou la batre’.
very truly yours,
client 9
this kid had it coming. throwback wall street snake oil salesman with no moral compass. the kind of guy who makes you feel like washing your hands after you get off the phone with him. good riddance.
I call BS! If Eliot “Noted Hooker-Fucker” Spitler still gets gigs, I doubt this moron has a valid excuse.
wbEExh Thank you for your article.Thanks Again. Awesome.
