Dealbreaker

rrarr

"sort of awesomely" bess sometimes you really do know how to turn a phrase. cohen is a madman himself. god i wish i could have seen his face on the stevie-cam when he heard about all this

Tong/SAC’s lawyers called the allegations "salacious and false." Tong’s lawyer, sort of awesomely, countered that the allegations are "neither salacious nor false."

Should this read " Jiang/SAC's lawyers"?

ps everyone knows chicks cant trade
pps you kinda stole that great headline from the post though, didnt you

This has nothing to do with this post but just had my first 'touching' moment in finance. Maheras walking out of his office across the trading floor. Entire floor erupts into a standing ovation. Don't know how chuckie will ever gain trust around these parts, grown men were teary eyed watching their hero walk out. shitty day for shitty bank, an even shittier day for the spirit of Sollie.

the post's headline is "Two In The SAC," so no.

The Post was already punning SAC

so yes. but it's okay and less eggregious than yesterday's post of an entire Bernstein research note without crediting either the firm or the analyst

One of my fellow quant trader colleagues knows both of these guys; according to him, Tong is total scum.

this is the same organization that gave salvatore krawcheck a standing ovation. whooopedy doo. the guy rode a red hot capital market to profits for the capital markets group. is that impressive in some way?

Another completely off topic post:

So yesterday I'm sitting in a Starbucks, scorching my tounge on burnt coffee. This hot, tall, thin, small breasted goddess walks in, a youthful 20+/-. (ok probably 17, but a VERY mature 17). She steps up to the barista, and I'm checking out her ass to make sure she's wearing a thong. The FIRST thing that goes through my mind: I bet Jeffrey Epstein would love to stare at her topless and beat off in a towel.

I'm damaged!! Can I send my therapy bills to DB?

worked with Ping, driven, incredibly smart trader and insightful into market action. Accusations seem implausible.

It's an ok headline, Bess. But not really worth patting yourself on the back over, especially when the headline from the Post story you reference is so awesomely inspired: "Two in the SAC" is hilarious. The Post rules when it comes to headlines.

@ 11:14, thats hilarious, also which starbucks? because my day is real slow. maybe she will come back?

Fuck SAC. In this life, you get what you make of it.
If you make so much money early and decide you are special in your frosty cold lair and that you have to hire allegedly smart people to continue to propel the dream while you act like an asshole, well, what do you think is going to happen? You're going to hire someone who thinks he/she can physically change the wiring of an employee with weird psycho-shit blather. I mean, who is the real freakazoid nut here? The dipshit SAC employees or the person who set the foundation for this trainwreck?

Grow the fuck up!

11:19- SHE WAS BEING SARCASTIC, YOU STUPID FUCKING RETARD.

The Pingster made his $400mio year last year on the back of maniacal (but ultimately profitable) buying of Argentina GDP warrants. Taking on boatloads of these exotic puppies requires balls the size of a gorilla's, so not sure how estrogen would help!

10:55AM
Am with you, that was tough to watch. Tom will be missed.

why is it every time bess says something that is not funny, some loser shows up here screaming that it was sarcasm?

buddy, nobody is funny 100% of the time. not even bess levin.

@11:38, Pingpong clearly had the trading p/l covered on his own, he was just trying to create a gay, not a better trader

Looks like Andrew Tong was the subject of an elaborate office prank.

I have just instructed by legal to notify our desk heads to cease any planned or active strategy to improve trader performance using gender altering initiatives .

A gorilla has small balls

Tiny.

Relative to body weight a human testicle is nearly five times as large as
a gorilla's testicles but only 1/3rd the size of a chimpanzee's testicles.
Maybe we should be having more fun by having more sex like the bonobos and
chimpanzees -- and less time for war.

I didn't think that Asian men needed much assistance in being more feminine?

Isn't that why they are singlehandedly responsible for wiping out the Rhino populations in Africa? They're the only ones desperate enough to think some powdered rhino horn will help the brother out.

"If taking female hormones actually helped you do your job, they would simply hire women here," one said. "But they don't.”

well at least someone is finally being open about it

see 10:54

mmmm....salacious sacs

Trader Psychologist: point well made.

No one gets away with shitting on everyone they come across, eventually it catches up with them and when it does, it's like a shit storm and there ain't no way back.
It's pay-back time and the party's just getting started.

He should have kept his big fat face out of the press. I don't think he quite grasps that the honeymoon is over. The word is getting out and the word is not good. As someone familiar with his methodology, I can tell you that this story is marginal compared to things he's done or employed others to do. Sociopaths are dangerous people.
