NYT: Steve Mnuchin's Father Brought Near Tears At The Mere Mention Of His Son's Name
Even for us, this is dark.
Remember when Steve Mnuchin's dad bid all that money for a piece of art on behalf of a friend and then also got a little upset when his son's name was mentioned?
Well, according to ArtNet, it turns out that this story has even darker layers of humor because Bob Mnuchin's mystery friend turns out to be none other than SAC himself: Steven A. Cohen.
It's nice that everyone is having fun buying huge metallic bunnies on the sly, but we can't help feel that this is going to make things even more awkward at the Mnuchin household now that Steve's dad is bidding on gifts for other sketchy finance types. And we don't even want to think of how awkward things are going to be at the next Trump fundraising event in The Hamptons when Steve Mnuchin asks Steve Cohen, "So, how is my dad?"
Even for us, this is dark.
Steve Cohen is now traveling in the the uncanny valley of woker Wall Street office misogyny.
Apparently, SAC is the Sir Mix-a-Lot of art collectors.
We can think of no better situation for Secretary Mouthbreather than an empty business conference hosted by a totalitarian state pretending that it hasn't murdered anybody.
This is SAC's equivalent of achieving his bathing suit weight.
This is how the fable would end if the turtle survived and lawyered up on the scorpion.
The Democrats running The House is already put a real crimp in Mnooks' DGAF civil servant style.
Masayoshi Son remains the de Kooning of money.
