Tullett Prebon Will Not Take This Hitler/Stalin Talk Lying Down

By

From: [redacted at Tullett Prebon]
To: Dealbreaker
Subject: Mario Batali

Company policy at TULLETTS, Batali restaurants are now banned. Good luck fat boy.

If that sounds harsh, consider the restraint it took not to head over to Del Posto and take Batali for a spin, i.e. TP’s go-to move, which is coming next, if the comments are not recanted. Anyway, not to minimize anyone’s feelings or play peacemaker, but, technically, Batali said “bankers,” not brokers, are Hitler/Stalin-esque, so…not really cause for TP to take offense. Feel free to continue patronizing his restaurants and cheering for him on reruns of Iron Chef.

    We are disgusted by this comparison and also suggest Mario Batali recant this.

    Some of the best clients for futures brokerages and these hybrid style groups are bank desks and traders, both foreign and domestic, that don't clear cme etc. or for a variety of reasons don't want to deal with their internal desks.

    No, not the whole university.

    A dottering old man and a portion his staff at Penn State should be facing some criminal charges for showing that they cared more about their jobs than the fact that their coworker was raping children… but those comments can be saved until Bess breaks the news that there is a link between the Receiver's coach getting several nice promotions and the fact that Joe told him to keep his mouth shut about what he saw in the shower.

    I had no idea brokers were hitting up Batali's places in enough numbers to make this a meaningful threat…

    I guess Mario added 8-balls and handys to the dessert menu without giving me a look.

    That ginger fuck grad assistant needs to be hanged. 28 y/o, former Captain of the football team witnesses an old man butt fucking some 10 y/o boy AND RUN AWAY TO CALL HIS DADDY. Fucking soulless coward a k a Mike McQueary. Did you know he grew up down the street from Sandusky? McQueary did not tell Joe he saw a kid getting raped, he was vague and danced around specifics of a crime his family friend committed. Joe Pa did nothing wrong and wouldn't be in this mess if McQueary would have done what was expected, i.e. beat the living shit out of Sandusky in that shower.

    The link to the "related" story (see below) just goes back to the Batali article. I'm feeling like a little bait-and-switch happened here. Also, I'm not exactly sure how it is related to Mario Batali, but I'm dying to find out.

    It's actually Mullet LeBon. His exclusion from Duran Duran was one of the few examples of failed nepotism in the 1980s.

    McQuery cared more about getting a full time job as a coach than he did about stopping a kid getting raped right in front of him. Almost makes you wonder if Sandusky had a little shower time with him as well…

    1.Americans make Hitler comparisons to everything and everyone they don’t like, Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, and the chosen target of the month are always made out to be worse than Hitler
    2.Gerry Schwartz compared raising his taxes to Hitler’s invasion of Poland
    3.The comparison of Bankers to Hitler is doing them a favor considering the reality of hedge fund managers like Dr. Herman is a mass murder, and Jerry Epstein is a child molester

    So what’s not fair?
