Okay, yeah, I can see how that didn't look so good.

A hedge-fund hot shot banned from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and Towers for allegedly attacking a parking valet with the keys to his luxury BMW is attempting to resolve his differences with the victim without a messy, public trial.Requesting an Aug. 24 hearing to settle the matter, Philip Tracy Jr., attorney for Highfields Capital Management executive Richard Grubman Jr., told a Boston Municipal Court judge yesterday they have been meeting with Ritz valet Joseph Lubin and assistant Suffolk District Attorney Susan Terry. “We’ll be able to come up with a resolution pretrial,” Tracy announced as Grubman, 48, of Cambridge sat silently in the back of the courtroom. Grubman faces up to 10 years behind bars if convicted of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon stemming from his alleged tantrum in March over where he could park outside Blu restaurant.

    Pfew. Good thing I’ve never had to deal with fancy cars and valets. This sounds like a nightmare.

    @1, if by fancy cars you mean BMW X5, then you are a total loser.

    People who drive expensive fancy cars, especially Ferraris for example, are better than almost all of you. Special people deserve special treatment. Special car = special person = peasant rules don’t apply. A successful person drives a fancy car….like a Ferrari….and, by God, acts like it.

    @3
    actually @1′s Jeffries-centric sarcasm comes off as even funnier in light of your denigration of the X5. i.e. only at lowly Jeffries would such a plebeian vehicle be considered top-line.
    just let it sink in.

    Richard….can I call you Dick? Ummm, listen, once you go to prison I think it would be wise to go over a few things…

    One, if someone leaves a candy bar on your bunk, don’t eat it.

    Two, watch out for the tossed salads. They are a little different in there.

    Three, keep that look on your face that you have in the picture. That’ll make you look like a tough guy.

    I do not drive a Porsche because doing so has a high correlation with the state of being physically attached to a teeny-tiny (possibly inverted) specimen of a penis.

    I am also happy.

    X5 is a nice everyday premium car….its not a baller’s car though.

    We,ABSOLUTELY, have no right to lecture other countries about Internet freedom or free speech when we don’t even practice what we preach.

    No wonder countries are now increasingly rebellious of the norms (our standard) we set and completely ignore U.S lecturing.Blackberry VS Middle East is new example.

    @15 STFU, no one cares about the ME except to exploit your oil. After that, good luck exporting sand.

    @10 driving a cayman is advertising the fact you can’t afford a 911. so to make it very clear to you: a cayman won’t get you laid. ever.

    Thinking your car gets you laid is a sure sign that you don’t get laid often…

    Hey Bess, is this the same Richard Grubman that Jeff Skilling called an asshole on that infamous conference call?

  23. Posted by firstdivision | August 4, 2010 at 9:53 AM

    Is Jeff Skilling a valet at the Ritz?

    I’m just impressed that @10 was able to find the alligator in the first place, let alone sit on it.

    I can’t stand it when when you jacks give me back my car with the radio blaring some Puerto Rican channel, my chair all the way back and smelling of sweat. Now pull my keys out of ass and go get my prius.

    10 years behind bars getting banged in the ass by some guy named Bubba. Serves you right you parasite for raping me to the tune of $250m over the last dozen years.

    Now I got Sidman and Farb trying to pull the same number on me. Sidman has his cock in my ass and Farb has it in my mouth and they will walk away with more of my fees.

    I guess maybe I am just not as smart as I think I am.

    Jake, you ungrateful prick and degenerate gambler (yeah your bookie knows all about that).

    Why are you calling me out on our partnership, when you know the only suckers were all of the LPs that we convinced to pay us hundreds of millions for BETA.

    Highfields is just a levered beta play, but all of these idiots believed something else since I spun some nice yarns for the letter each quarter.

    Lets see….12 years, 4 letters a year and I got about $250m total, so $5m a letter. Not bad for a nice Princeton guy like me & I didn’t have to waste 2 years at HBS.

  29. Posted by Jake | August 13, 2010 at 7:58 PM

    Thanks for the memories Grubman…now get the fuck out of my shop you asshole.

    Its now Sidman’s turn to use me up and toss me out like a soiled condom.

    Good riddance
