OMG! This is priceless. Here’s a video gem excerpt of SAC Capital’s Steven Cohen — with a full head of hair — and his wife Alex, a month into their marriage, as they appeared on the talk show “Christina” in a 1992 segment entitled “He Acts Like Her Husband, Too”. They discussed how he was still involved with his ex-wife Patricia (and apparently still sleeping with her some of the time, though that’s not included in the video excerpt). Sex with the former Mrs. Cohen ended after he and Alex got engaged. During his marriage to Patricia, Cohen admitted there were some “financial difficulties”. Cohen starting SAC Capital in 1992 — the same year as the below footage. Now his ex is suing him for guzillions and alleging that he engaged in insider trading.

Will it be on Ruth’s summer reading list?: More tales of Bernie Madoff, the womanizer, are emerging as a former CFO with Hadassah reveals that not only did her family get screwed out of their savings, but she had an affair with him. The book, “Madoff’s Other Secret: Love, Money, Bernie, and Me” which details Sheryl Weinstein’s encounters with Madoff, comes out on August 25. We’ll be treated to pictures and according to Bloomberg “some intimate descriptions of Madoff”. We’ll all have to wait to see if those are insights into his personality or his anatomy.

Goldman Sex: Ouch. The Goldman Sachs name is being dragged through the mud from every angle these days as the root of all evil. And the latest: A lawyer with Goldman, Todd Genger, a 33 year old married father of three, was caught in a sting where he sex-chatted a supposed 15 year old (who was really an undercover cop) and then travelled to Westchester county to do the deed. If he’s convicted, he’s looking at 1 1/3 to 4 years in prison…. Read the rest of this entry »

We had a great laugh reading this morning's Page Six. One of the entries suggests that hooker loving former NY Attorney General turned Governor turned leper Eliot Spitzer, who's trying hard to rehabilitate his guttered reputation, might actually try dipping his wick into politics again by running for NY Attorney General in 2010. We wonder which flavor of Kool-Aid he's drinking. No way could he win. Would he really drag Silda and the kids through inevitably more pain?
One thing's for sure, if he does again venture into the political arena, it's sure to provide many entertaining headlines….

Go forth and multiply!: Jim Rogers’ latest excellent (and lengthy) Bloomberg interview includes his gushing over fatherhood in a discussion of “A Gift to My Children: A Father’s Lessons for Life and Investing”,
a book written for his two little girls that’s due out later this
month. “In fact, if there’s anybody out there who’s watching this who
hasn’t done it, I urge you to get home and get on with it. Take a day
off—take a half a day off–don’t take any day off — do it on your
lunch hour…. Rogers was in a great mood during the interview, which contrasted with a recent testy run-in with Fox Business’ Alexis Glick.

Hell no, it wouldn't be shocking. We just can't believe that this kind of stuff took so long to come out. According to Rush & Molloy, Bernie Madoff had at least one affair during his half century marriage to Ruth according to two sources:

Lazard CEO Bruce Wasserstein apparently got busy helping a recent Columbia Business School grad get preggers between the end of his marriage to Claude and his recent marriage to wife number four, Angela Chou. Page Six tells us that he fathered a love child shortly after his split with Claude. She's now ten months old, and Bruce "is bursting with pride"….

It's gonna be interesting to see what revelations, if any, come out of soon to be unsealed documents detailing wiretaps in the hooker scandal that brought Ex-governor Eliot "Client #9" Spitzer down. But what won't be available for voyeuristic eyes (like ours) are the names of the 67 co-Johns. The NY Times had sued last year to have the documents unsealed:

After keeping a relatively low and silent profile, now Ashley Dupre, the high priced hooker that finally took down disgraced former NY Governor / bullying attorney general Eliot Spitzer, is talking to everyone. She's spoken to People Magazine, on news stands Friday, and a demurely dressed Dupre speaks to Diane Sawyer on 20/20 Friday evening. According to the NY Post, she's sorry for sleaze bag Spitzer's wife, but as for the sex act itself, it was "strictly business":

He may have dodged the criminal charge bullet, but he'll forever be known as the disgraced hypocritical high priced ho-loving ex-governor known as "Client 9".
“I appreciate the impartiality and thoroughness of the investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office,'' Spitzer, 49, said today in a separate statement. “I acknowledge and accept responsibility for the conduct it disclosed.''

Maybe that thought is too much information, at least early in the morning. But that's the picture that the girlfriend of the now incarcerated hedge fund scammer who screwed his investors (who weren't nearly as pleasured) out of millions, tried to fake his own suicide then went on the lam, has painted for Mary Claire magazine in an interview. Israel rocked Debra Ryan's world with "blazing sex" early in their relationship. And after Israel was given a 20 year sentence in April, the first thing on the agenda was "crazy sex". "It was great. It was the best ever". What did all that hot sex cost her? She's $500K in debt and has a prison record. Sam's Israel was also apparently quite the jokester, once doing something a bit shady (warning: there's a not work friendly picture below). According to Page Six:

Tucked away in a mini-pullout section of the NY Post is an article on how anxious current and laid off Wall Streeters have become over the credit crunch and state of the industry. "Substance abuse and risky sex behavior is up among downsized and worried Wall Streeters, say therapists".

"Pete" is lifting "a few" Xanax from mom's medicine

10,000 names are in her little black book: If any of you Wall Street guys were ever a client of 'Manhattan Madam' Kristin Davis, you may soon be doing some squirming. She's penning a tell all. According to the NY Daily News:
The worst is probably over for former Gov. Spitzer, but if you're
one of the other 10,000 or so guys who sought satisfaction with
"Manhattan Madam" Kristin Davis, it's time to be afraid.
The
buxom, bottle-blond former owner of the now-shuttered high-end Wicked
Models escort service announced Wednesday that she penned a
tell-all-book – and you just might get a mention or two.
Davis
promises "The Real Sex in the City: True Tales of the Manhattan Madam"
will reveal the "naughty exploits" of powerful politicians, Wall Street
bigwigs, Hollywood celebrities, doctors, lawyers and maybe even an
Indian chief.

Harvard has one. So do the University of Chicago, Vassar, and Boston University. Now Columbia University has its own student run magazine focusing on sex. The inaugural issue of C-Spot, an erotic magazine edited by Columbia University students (although it's not affiliated with or backed by the school) even has a story about Wall Street men. "In one piece headlined "My Nails Are Red", the writer pens a graphic description of her rough sex with Wall Street guys who choke her with their "expensive ties.""
Not even gonna comment on that one.
They also review their favorite strip clubs in Manhattan (many of which are reportedly still doing reasonably well even during this market downturn) and have a piece on some of the erotic services offered on Craigslist.

After all of the embarrassing publicity engendered by transgendered
"model" Maximilia Ava Cordero's lawsuit against now imprisoned billionaire perv Jeffrey
Epstein, it's been tossed according to the NY Post.
Although the charges were embarrassing, it was important to Epstein to fight the "phony allegations" rather than settling, said his lawyer, Gerald Lefcourt.
"If you don't fight it, they linger and people think they are possibly true," he said.

The credit crunch may be hurting both Wall Street and Main Street where everyone is tightening their belts, but one group that seems to still be faring rather well: those engaged in the oldest profession. According to this weekend’s NY Daily News, hookers are so far holding their own, although mirroring the economy in general, there seems to be some economizing going on — trading down from the really expensive Ashley Dupre type hookers that Eliot "Client 9" Spitzer ponied up for to lower price points….

Jeffrey Epstein no longer gets to dine on the finest and has to do his own shopping now that he’s tucked away in a Palm Beach prison, serving an 18 month sentence for perving underage babes. What does he eat and what else does he buy at the prison commissary? The Smoking Gun got hold of his receipts via the Freedom of Information act and shares their findings. Since he seems to buy a lot, they also speculate that he may be sharing the wealth with his fellow inmates (we’ll guess that several very, very large sweatshirts he bought weren’t for him)…

Whooping it up in Denver: No, we’re not referring to the recent Democratic
Convention. As it turns out, a September 10 report from the Inspector General accuses employees
of the Denver Minerals Management Service arm of the Interior Dept of all
sorts of forbidden non-arms length naughtiness, including sex (with oil company employees from Chevron and
Royal Dutch Shell), drugs (cocaine and marijuana), and accepting forbidden gifts
from four oil companies….
One of the more fascinating tidbits from Fortune Magazine’s tome on former Bear Stearns CEO Jimmy Cayne is just how hot Alan "Ace" Greenberg was for serial man eater Barbara Walters, who we all know now from her kiss-and-tell-all was also seeing Alan Greenspan around the same time. But she wound up marrying Merv Adelson. According to Cayne, Ace himself wanted to marry Walters —
One day Greenberg told Cayne a story
about his personal life that Cayne never forgot. At that time Greenberg was
between marriages and had been dating regularly, but was growing increasingly
concerned about the risk of contracting AIDS. "He decides he’s going to get
married," Cayne says. "And he’s one of the guys that’s dating Barbara
Walters…. He says to me, ‘I’ve decided I’m going to marry Barbara Walters.’
The very next day in the papers she’s engaged to Merv Adelson. I never said a
word. Now normally – you know, if it was one of my buddies – I’d say, you know,
‘Pretty good call there, pal. You’re marrying her, except that she’s marrying
somebody else…. That’s called bigamy.’"

Some apparently aren’t so happy with Jeffrey Epstein’s plea deal. Page Six notes that three women who have sued him want a federal judge to kill the deal where Epstein serves 18 months in prison in exchange for admitting that he admit to soliciting a 14 year old hooker.
Their lawyer, Brad Edwards, has asked US
District Judge Kenneth Marra to toss the deal – which included an agreement that
Epstein’s wouldn’t face federal prosecution, which could have led to a longer
jail term – because they weren’t consulted on it. Marra has asked for more
information before he rules. Epstein’s rep, Howard Ruben stein, said, "The
lawsuit has absolutely no merit. They’re just looking for money. These women
have lied repeatedly, and in no way shape or form were they victims. They were
at his place freely and voluntarily. And one of them showed Epstein a fake
ID."
