“Here’s our card, we need to hear from you in 48 hours, if we don’t there will be trouble for you,” Strategy Session guest John Kinnucan recounted being told by two representatives from the FBI when they showed up to his home and tried to get him to agree to record a conversation with a client from SAC Capital.
“And they haven’t made trouble for you I guess, have they?” David Faber asked.
“Well, uh, my business has been destroyed, so…”
Though at this time it remains unclear as to whether or not there will be some sort of ramifications for Kinnucan emailing his clients after the visit from the Feds, it does seem clear that yes, his business has been destroyed and he will likely have difficulty starting another wherein it’s his name on the front of the building. If like us, your heart goes out to the guy, who has a wife and child and was just trying to do the right thing, i.e. NOT BE A SNITCH, do consider giving him a call re: job prospects. He’s obviously very loyal, a hard worker and given that he told David Faber, “I’ve been dragged along the pavement a few hundred feet underneath a bus,* I’ve been lost alone at 40 below in the Brooks Range, this is just another chapter,” it sounds like he’ll do anything you ask of him, without complaints.
there is no room in this industry for criminals
kill yourself
yes
If he wouldn’t wear a tie for the Feds, then he won’t be bothered to wear a tie for you, CNBC.
Can’t believe he admitted he was drinking wine in his backyard by himself – has to be an honest…
The FBI is the Primerica of government law enforcement.
“I’ve been dragged along the pavement a few hundred feet underneath a bus,* I’ve been lost alone at 40 below in the Brooks Range, this is just another chapter,”
This guy sounds like Nordberg.
snitches get stiches
15 minutes of fame ending in 3…2…1…. whassthat? Charlie Gasparino on the line? 15 minutes of fame ending in 15..14…13…
ANYTHING…?
Don’t shit in my mouth and tell me its goat cheese, Gasparino.
Had it been the LAPD that rolled up, this guy would be in the witness protection program with a couple of broken ribs and Stevie Cohen would be on the run. Paying a lot of legal fees is the NKI.
he lives in Portland, OR, but yes, I agree.
Wearing a Heathcliff Huxtable sweater in the portrait shot is the NKI
I wonder if that was the FBI interrupting through his earpiece when he took that “wrap this” long pause. I bet they articulated trouble then.
“If a company’s been indicted, they’re out of business.” Well he didn’t prevent that for his clients, did he?
What’s with this guy? He pours his heart to anyone who will listen. I’m surprised he couldn’t chew the fat with the Feds.
…except in this case the non-snitches already had stitches from being dragged by a bus by their britches.
Wait til they outsource this to KBR or what they call it today
John, you are a good guy. Here is a marker for you to play with.

Seriously? Reposting CNBC interviews? This blog has gone into the shitter.
If that was irony with a capital I, good job. If not, go away pls
Stevie: Do I have your loyalty?
Kinnucan: Yes, Godfather, always?
Stevie: Then be a friend to David. Do as he says.
Seriously? Attempting to claim “this blog has gone into the shitter” when we have, since DB started, commented on CNBC interviews we’ve found particularly amusing, such as the one above? You should consider sterilization.
Wham, zap, pow
Bess, Bess, Bess
Bess is the Besst
John Kinnucan = Schwarzenegger / DeVito love child.
Which is _infinitely_ more NKI. Backyard/back deck…very 2006. Front porch is where today’s BSDs get a buzz on.
=Junior?
Hurray for Kinnucan….tough Irishman. He is drawing a line in the sand…..
why was the goofball in glasses so intent on making sure that mutual funds were part of his client base….hf’s dont even advertise…..
having Feds raid your house at 3PM while you are drinking wine by yourself is the NKI
You know, I think this guy’s on to something.

it was the front porch.
