$$$ Deals: Weekly M & A Plunges Again
The biggest purchase was for $2.38 billion, and the 33 other deals fail to get the total quite to $6.5 billion. Little respite seen ahead in the suddenly anemic credit climate. [CFO.com]

in response to the craiglist ad... Who is Jeffrey Epstein?

Also, what girl dating that guy is going to work enough to justify a massage?

once again i am amazed by the men of NY on craigslist...do people actually respond?

Anybody who thinks that ad is even remotely real - please respond and make sure to follow instructions precisely (like meet him in a dark alley at 110th street wearing nothing but a trenchcoat, stockings and 6" clear heels).

Here's a newsflash Dallas - anybody who has even 1 jet and 3 cars doesn't need craigslist to find golddiggers.

yup, those guys use agencies to find and pay for high-quality a$$

Obviously he's too rich to proof his ad or he skimped on the help.

Dallas,
Don't listen to the naysayers. As a high-roller myself, I've always found the escort services lacking a certain "je ne sais quoi". Who wants to pony up what works out to about 2 hours income for a weekend with professional poon, when you can expose yourself to litigation and crotch crickets for free on CL? The desire for excitement is what made me a successful hedge fund manager.
Here's a hint - why not answer one of those ads and find out for yourself?

"They're not working for the salary, they believe they're fighting on the side of angels." Is Tim Price deluded or insane?
