Liars poker is a good one I thought. same guys in both instances.

So its quite possible the same guys or their proteges are in up to there eyeballs in the latest shill hey!

One guy was the same (Merryweather). The real minds behind it had nothing to do with Salomon brothers.

>>1267639

Merriweather went on to start a few more hedge funds but none were spectacular.

Not sure what happened to Merton and Scholes, or the Iranian Jew guy who developed the algorithms they used.

Both went back into academia where they can't fuck up too hard.

They are still around. Finance professors who've met them defend them to this day. Unfortunate for them they never ever ever ever expected a 16 standard deviation move in all Eastern European bonds at the same time.

Ha ha! Business!

Jamie and Lloyd are decent people. They went to school, had a purpose, learned the game, played hard and made oceans of cash with their risk management. They went a bit aggressive in some areas and got their peepees whacked by regulators from time to time. They have accidentally hired some assholes from time to time but then again who hasn't?

Is it fucking happening?
