@2 thanks for Timmy link.
DB would never link a negative article about Timmy. He's like their own MSM Obama, only nice friendly things. nothing mean or offensive against the DB writers and their pals.

Great job Bess with getting out all the Tosca material. Sounds like Johnny and Martin are pretty much ranting in this last one. they somehow have a hard time understanding why investors dont want to ride it out with them. can't imagine why.

JEF is a bucket shop for windbags. most people in finance would not even come across them if they weren't the loudmouth at the bar.

appreciate the benefit of the doubt, most other poster here, or any other site for that matter wouldnt even cross their mind.
you're one stand up guy.
that being i know there some decent folks at JEF, just had a major run in with them in the past. wont go into details.. but hard for me to look up to the place.
First round at JEf? i didnt even know they recruited.

the SEC took all their NYC interns on a field trip to the Madoff offices in 2000. to show how a well run trading/inv firm operates with the righ control, compliance, risk, etc.
this is a true story. they only went to the 17th floor. too bad they didnt get to peek at 18. maybe one of the interns would have smelled something

I can't believe DB is still hocking Tim. Isn't there enough business news/gossip to fill these pages and not have to fall back on the penny stock, hump and dump, I got molested from my uncle at my bar mitzva, Tim Sykes?
He fucking sucks moose cock.

just shows dealbook is still part of the gray lady. this guy writes an entire article based on the dealbreaker post with no mention of "first reported by" and refers to michael roth as "mike" as if they played squash together.
The NYT and dealbook suck ass.
