Former Bears Stearns Employee Victim Of Harassment By Pizza

By

If you were going to try and extort money Bear Stears alum, how would you do it? Would you call him at his new job and talk trash about his wife? Would you call his house and tell his wife he was running around on her with another woman? Would you call his mother-in-law in New Jersey and breathe heavily into the phone? Or would you bring out the big guns and start sending pizzas, sometimes 20 at a time, to his home in New Canaan, as a sign you really meant business? Donato Anthony Minicozzi chose all of the above.

Former Bear Stearns Chairman Ace Greenberg Came Up With The Idea For The New Yorker Pickpocket Profile, Holds Monthly “Gatherings” For The World’s Foremost Magicians

By

Roberta “RC” Saint Amour is a Bear Stearns alum, winner of the 112th Wellesley College “Hoop Rolling” Competition, honorary member of the first inaugural Ladies of Investor Relations list, and a girl with a dream. That dream? Winning the new season of Survivor: The Phillipines. Starting tomorrow, viewers can watch her go head to head with former San Francisco Giants second baseman Jeff Kent and the actress who played Blair on Facts of Life and while RC believes her time on Wall Street has prepared her well (“If I know how to play with the big boys of Wall Street, I can certainly play with the little boys in the Survivor sandbox,”she says), the $1 million prize is not necessarily in the bag. And on the off chance she doesn’t emerge victorious, she’ll be looking to one of you for gainful employment, as the management at Landmark Ventures was apparently not interested in coming along for the ride.
