Former Lehman Brothers Investment Bank Head May Not Do Time For Misunderstanding Re: Forging Oxycontin, Ritalin Prescriptions

By Bess Levin

On the whole, things have been on the up and up for most of the late Lehman Brothers brain trust. Erin Callan is said to be wildly happy with her new life out in the Hamptons, which includes spinning classes and a firefighter’s hose. Barclays has allowed Hugh “Skip” McGee to continue his writing career on the side. Dick Fuld has started a new firm and has retained enough pride to not be embarrassed about telling Wall Street he’s “here to help.” Bella, God rest her soul, is in a better place.  Late last month, it appeared as though former LEH IB head Bradley Jack might be the one exception to the success stories, after he was accused of forging a prescription for 12 Oxycontin pills and 9 Ritalins, and nailed suspicious pharmacist who called the cops.

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. Continue reading »

Wall Street Much Better At Hiding Crack Habit, OxyContin Than General Population

By Bess Levin

Has the financial crisis taken a toll on your drug usage? Fuck no, says recently released data. While only 2 percent of the finance industry failed drug tests last year, according to a firm that screens around 270 shops, versus 3.6% of all workers, those numbers are merely reflective of the fact that most finance gigs will only make you piss in a cup as a new hire, and not on a random Wednesday, several hours off your last bender [wipes brow]. Once you’re in, it’s highly unusual for HR to get up in your face about whether or not that was you blowing rails off the head of IR’s ass in the conference room. And speaking of preferences, what are the drugs of choice among the using set these days? Continue reading »
