Because John Duffy, the Chief Executive Officer of investment bank Keefe, Bruyette & Woods is a married man, some people, such his estranged wife, would like to know why he “lavished millions of dollars’ worth of homes, jewelry and sexy outfits from Victoria’s Secret on stunning women in three different countries.” Kathy Duffy thinks she already has the answer (the trinkets were part of his “public and notorious adulterous relationships”) and for that reason has chosen to demand more than $20 million in divorce proceedings that have taken place so far. But she’s wrong! John AKA “Duff” wasn’t cheating on her with these ladies and his reason doesn’t even involve invoking the law of different area codes. Those homes he bought in Yonkers and CT? Those Rolexes and “educational supplies” and the mesh chaps? Those weren’t gifts for his gal-pals, those were investments!
“[Kathy Duffy] charged adultery — we’re getting into Tiger Woods territory,” a source said, adding that the three women have been subpoenaed to testify in court. One of Duffy’s alleged trysts involves the tattooed, blond lead singer of a rock band, a source said. The singer allegedly netted a $73,000 car, a Rolex watch and other gifts from Duffy totaling more than $770,000, the source said. Duffy, nicknamed “Duff,” has claimed that he had met the woman by chance in a Manhattan bar and decided to bankroll her music career. His wife also claims that another woman received a $345,000 condo in Yonkers and a Connecticut spread worth more than $465,000, the source said. The homes were both bought within the past eight years. The third woman received a home in tropical Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, a source said. Duffy also bought her furnishings, paid for her educational expenses, a car and other gifts totaling more than $800,000, his wife claims.
John Duffy has denied engaging in any sexual affairs, claiming the homes and gifts he bought for the women were “investments,” a source said.
Hope this cleared things up.

Please, please, let the "tattooed, blond lead singer of a rock band" be Courtney Love.

You think gold bugs are annoying, wait till you have to listen to a poon evangelist drone on about the merits of va-jay-jay as a store of value.
Because he ate the women?
I don't see the big deal… my boss "invests" in my career with "sexy outfits from Victoria’s Secret" all the time

I can think of no investment more promising than giving a car to a woman driver.
"bankrolled her career/bankrolled her ass same diff/no diff"
Running a third tier bucket shop and having hoochie mama's all over the country is definitely the nki
he's late to the trade. i've been financing med school careers – one greasy $20 at a time – since Duff could actually see his junk.
according to the actuarials, the resids should be rolling in any day now….

KBW must have a unique and fascinating corporate culture. Let's take a little stroll down memory lane to remember a previous KBW CEO:

Duff should invest in a neck
Where's the Keefe?
Who knew the "Woods" in KBW was Tiger? Is the "America" in BofA, this America?
…the homes and gifts he bought for the women were “investments”
What an idiot. Everyone knows the best investment is fake gold coins.

Was that handle necessary? Bess is nothing if not an elegant lady.
Funniest thing would be if he indeed got no action off these chicks. that would be the best.
You must be a huge Bess fan if that's the first time you've noticed that over the course of the past few months.

Why would I want to get out and visit a dump?

Gorging on ho ho's and ho's in different area codes is the NKI.

I used to work there and at a conference up in Boston a few years ago, I saw him work the crowd while diligently working his way through a plate of bacon pilfered from the 3-hour-old breakfast buffet.

I read through all of the comments, looking for the most clever play on "Duff" and "Muff". Is everyone (except interns) on vacation?
