From time to time around these, parts, we like to check in to see what’s been a-poppin’ with Lehman Brothers alums. Former Chief Executive Officer Dick Fuld, amazingly, has started a new firm called Matrix Advisors. Former COO Joe Gregory eats lunch every day in his local diner and tells people he used to fly a chopper to work. Former CFO Erin Callan takes spinning classes in the Hamptons and is said to be co-habitating with a firefighter she’s known since high school. Former head of investment banking Hugh Skip McGee works at Barclays under the same title and in his free time writes tear-stained letters to his son’s school, demanding the administration allow the boys dress in drag for a pep rally and fire the history teacher who injects “leftist invective” in the curriculum and might also be a lesbian. Today we got an update on another ex-head of investment banking (and also former co-COO), Bradley Jack, who’s been having a tough time get his supply of Oxycotin and Ritalin.
Jack, 52, is accused of using a forged prescription at a Fairfield CVS pharmacy June 24 for 12 pills of the painkiller Oxycontin and nine pills of Ritalin, a drug used to treat attention deficit disorder, said Lt. James Perez of the Fairfield Police Department. A store employee followed the suspect outside the pharmacy, watched him get into a black Range Rover and drive away, Perez said yesterday in a telephone interview. The employee reported the license plate number of the vehicle to police, who traced it to two residences — one on Sasco Hill Road in Fairfield and the other on North Avenue in Westport, according to Perez.
Police said that at the CVS drugstore, the pharmacist “immediately became suspicious” of the customer, told the man to come back, and called the doctor’s office in Westport that was listed on the prescription, Perez said. The physician’s office confirmed the prescription wasn’t valid, and the pharmacist notified police, according to Perez. Police contacted the suspect, who voluntarily came to police headquarters for questioning, Perez said. He matched the description given to police — a 6-foot-tall white man in his 50s with salt-and-pepper hair, wearing a striped shirt and tan pants. “He readily confessed and said that he was sorry and that he shouldn’t have done it,” Perez said. “I don’t know if it was for him or someone else,” he said of the drugs.
Despite apparently confessing and being charged with second-degree forgery and forgery of a prescription pad, when asked about the situation, Jack told reporters the stories of his arrest “have some misunderstanding.”

It worked so well with Lehman clients when I sold them our bestest laphabet soup concoction descriptions, but apparently a CVS quant was better than our Lehman quants… Damn you CVS quants, damn you!!!
-Mr. Jack who is now in the box
I can’t imagine a more perfect summation of the morons who led the downfall of Lehman. Couldn’t even figure out how to get Oxy, or Ritalin from your middle-school neighbors.
The white man’s crack Oxycontin…
Dykstra told reporters the stories of his arrest “have some misunderstanding.”
Madoff told reporters the stories of his arrest “have some misunderstanding.”
Raj told reporters the stories of his arrest “have some misunderstanding.”
etc.
In the hood this kind of thing happens all the time.

I also heard their General Counsel used to not flush the urinal when he was done. BFD
LOL!
Ritalin? How 90′s…
Don’t hate…in my case the authorities “had some misunderstanding” too
-Rush Limbaugh
There are about 15 Matrix advisors on google so it was apparently a good name for a company if Dick wanted to remain anonymous.
The answer is out there, Guest, and it’s looking for you, and it will find you if you want it to.
Both the GC and chief litigator were also idiots. Although, ironically, they did seem at least slightly concerned about the wrong kinds of risk than the important ones.
Hey!!!!

It snorts better than adderrall. No orange flakes.
That would be Hillybilly Heroin, there, King Ad Rock. White man’s crack is called cocaine.
Probably would of got away with it in his legitimate years.
Exactly.
If white men start going to prison for drug crimes, we might have to reconsider this whole “drug war” thing.
Sure, so was Repo 105.
Dick Flud.
Clearly named after the character from Commando, perhaps the greatest movie ever made.
“Let off some steam, Bennett.”
You’re a funny guy AB, I like you. That’s why I’m going to kill you last.
…agreed, greatest movie – rented it every weekend at Blockbuster.
forging oxy prescriptions? maybe he had lupus?
getting pinched by the feds is so 80s. arrest by the local pd is the nki
If only that were true…
I don’t understand the problem.
Just don’t try to play the Arnie drinking game (drink on every kill). Commando will put you in a coma.
“12 pills of the painkiller Oxycontin and nine pills of Ritalin”
Should have just given it to the guy. Asking for 9 Ritalin at a pharmacy is like asking for half of a beer at a liquor store.
I mean, what kind of addict forges a script for _9_ pills? That makes no sense. Maybe him and his woman just wanted to have weird ambien sex for one night without the ambien. Is that a crime?
Arnold and the 80s was a pretty amazing combination.
And then he goes and confesses to it, netting himself a felony charge!
