Any confirmation?
Not sure, but wso keeps on deleting it like rich handler owns wso or something, Elon needs to buy out wso as well
Former JEF M&A analyst, its 100% true. I know exactly who it is and im so here for it.
I assume they're being deleted for liability reasons. They name very specific people and don't have any proof of their accusations. Not to say that the accusations aren't real, just that WSO can't assume that every potentailly libelous accusation published here is real. They don't have a way to tell the difference between what is credible and what isn't.
The leak here should have been person A and [Person B] etc. People would have been able to figure it out pretty easily.
Section 230 protects wso from liability. They’re covering
hey, this thread is still up as are several others on the topic. I'm reviewing what my mod team did yesterday, but I suspect certain threads/content was removed because it contained specific names and/or offensive content (from what I've seen so far) - and most of it was coming from brand new members.
When I came across this late last night I even saw someone saying/implying on Twitter that the CEO of Jefferies is somehow close with WSO. This is not true -- I've never even spoken with him in my life.
I understand the importance of WSO allowing certain topics / situations to be exposed for what they are, however, we must also try and be as balanced as possible and not allow names (from non-public figures) and accusations be posted all over our boards. We have no journalists on staff and don't have the resources / media team to go do proper fact checking, so we have to rely on our members (ideally certified) to verify certain situations.
Please be patient as I look through everything.
Thank you,
Patrick
WSO keeps taking it down because Jefferies is a potential (could already be a client, idk) client for the courses and stuff ala WallStreetPrep. They can’t get sued for libel for something they did not say. It’s about maintaining relationships with potential clients.
This is ridiculous of the m0ds. Can anyone p-m me the ema ils pls? I'll find a way to "get em on here"
Will you PM me the deets? Sounds like a good read
Allegations in the email are way too detailed to have been completely made up. Wouldn't be surprised at all if the email is true, but also the allegations are serious to the point that any lack of confirmation gets pretty close to libel.
There are probably grains of truth to it but it's also written entirely in a single voice and that voice sounds kinda like a schizo facebook rant. Have you ever read a rant by someone with mental health problems who thinks the post office is gang stalking them? Those get pretty specific too. And someone here also said that the e-mail was sent around but the name list (presented as signatories) had a bunch of people who didn't know what this was about.
Point being, who knows. Could be totally legit, totally fake, somewhere in between. Hopefully we will find out the truth.
Not sure if every point mentioned was true. But some are 100% true. And for the people mentioned - some current some former employees.
Agreed that that email would have better served the cause if it was written more professionally and directly vs the emotionally ramble it was, buttttt think it’s pretty clear that something is fishy at Jeffries
Former JEF M&A Analyst, can tell you with confidence its true.
Where do we find the allegations
would also appreciate a PM
pM please
PM
Confirmed it was sent around - but for anyone who has seen that email, the list of people at the bottom who “spoke out” is certainly not accurate. Have heard from many of them who have since left the firm that they have never talked to anyone about this and are not sure why they are referenced
Curious was it sent only to M&A or was it a firm-wide blast? Also, any indication that the higher-ups are going to address the concerns one way or another?
That's big. People should ask themselves why any credible accuser would feel the need to falsely add others. Ask yourself if you'd ever do that, if you were a credible accuser.
Would appreciate if someone could PM
Someone send it to Dealbreaker
Can confirm. My source - ex employee at JEF NYC M&A. Can’t confirm everything said but it’s pretty accurate - toxic culture for sure. One of his friends was literally told “you should f*****king quit”. wild what the mods are doing. Oh well.
Telling someone to quit is brutal?
A quote presented with zero context. Not suspect at all.
Wtb PM
It’s on markmorans IG/Twitter
.
Mark Moran the real one. Can't believe Litquidity didn't even post about this. Usually used to be one of the first to do so
PM please
Can't confirm the validity of the email but wouldn't be surprised as an ex-Jefferies employee. A lot of the groups and seniors in NYC are very toxic, and Handler does not care as long as the seniors bring in fees. No one should be surprised that the culture at Jefferies is still like this, considering that that the IB franchise was built by someone like Lorello.
What’s the word on Lorello?
I used to paste my bin on many things. days Ago it happened. My Zimbabwe friend, From the NYC office, Asked me about his favorite times at Jefferies, but he couldn't say much about it. He heard Years ago about such scandals but was afraid he was going to be taken down if he spoke up.
Clever, thanks!
I don't get it
follow up email circulated
Jefferies created Sage Kelly right
Jefferies didn't create Sage Kelly, but rather Handler was willing to bring on Lorello and his right-hand men including Kelly, and Lorello, Kelly & Co largely created the Jefferies today and left their imprint on the culture as well.
Handler has frequently commented on Insta posts about sexism and sexual assault about how bad it is and how he would never tolerate such behavior. He'll totally dodge this.
PM pls!

Exposing them for what
sexual harassment, touch, and act
follow up email was circulated
Hahaha your name
Not funny if that person is a victim and trying to protect their job…a 1st year associate did get fired from the group today which seems out of line for an MBA who just started
Stop this petty nonsense. Everyone involved in this smear campaign has likely tarnished their career beyond repair.
Is this your burner account John? or is it the other John?
Aside from the censorship and deletion of posts, has anyone confirmed all of the questions/stories? Seems pretty detailed and insane the information is being blocked
Why is the email written in such a schizophrenic style?

Similar source and the accuracy here is amazing.

The above are some very serious allegations of fraud not sure we should just be throwing this stuff around this is people's careers (everyone from analyst up and there would be collateral damage too).. no wonder wso deleting threads
That’s fair, but also the posts above have so much detail and corroborate each other so personally I find it hard to believe they’re not at least somewhat real. If what’s alleged is true it’s absolutely disgusting how Jefferies HR and leadership has lacked accountability and turned the blind eye.
You’re a clown. Can be been confirmed by anyone that works there. Stop shilling for Rich
This is fucking amazing lol
Gotta love a scandal

Harassment at Jefferies by the head of M&A : FinancialCareers (reddit.com)
Looks like WSO is being paid to delete anything related to it. There is confirmation of the leaked stuff from John Huwiler saying these accusations being deleted online. Let's see how long this comment lasts before a MOD removes it.
yeah, this is false. although since we've been doing this for 16 years and had similar situations many times before, I expect to be contacted likely before end of today. I left a comment in this thread: https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forum/investment-banking/the-situation-…;
SB for such a transparent response
bump
Lol turns out these woke banks are just as toxic as ever
I love how Rich Handler has "be a good person" in his twitter bio, in quotations. As if he overheard analysts pleading "be a good person" "be a good person" while being sexually assaulted by his boys.
more today removing names so our posts don't keep getting deleted?
This is fucked up man. These guys are real scumbags. This is what happens when a bunch of socially awkward losers are given positions of power over women. They treat any interaction with a female as an opportunity to romanticize them.
I’m as anti-woke as they come but I would never advise a woman to work at a place that has very few female seniors for reasons such as this.
Think the format of the email looks purposeful to make it a viral effect as I am sure they expected this backlash and retaliation to quickly delete everything.
Pm please
PM pls
PM please
PM please. I need to know!!!
been removed
DM for original e m a I
Can you please pm me the email - ex jeff employee
Handler's response says a lot, immediately going on the offensive.
Where / what is his response?
Check his Twitter
Yikes Rich definitely failed disaster PR 101 - probably one of the worst ways to address a scandal I've seen from a major CEO recently.
Original email is in comments on the Reddit financial careers thread
I refuse to believe the email because I cannot in my right mind believe someone who made it into IB writes that poorly. Regardless if true or not, I'd be firing that person based on that fact alone.
Seriously? Accusations of such disgusting behaviors and THAT is what you point out? Hope this is a shitpost otherwise you’re just part of the problem
Unhinged email that comes off worse than a 12 year old ranting(being serious). The person sounds mentally ill.
I'm not defending jefferies. I think that place is a total clown show(have thought for years). But none of this surprises me (both the fact that there's some inappropriate seniors and that their junior analysts write emails that come across like your unhinged aunt on Facebook ranting about vaccines). Just a total clownshow firm.
These Yt dudes from CT..
PM please
Can't the whistleblower who was fired seek legal action for firing against retaliation? I hope this doesn't get brushed under the rug but it seems more than likely to happen unless this gets more widespread coverage.
With Dicky as the head of the snake, that place will always be a cesspool.
There’s a Pastebin link on twitter for the original uncensored email
Thanks for the heads up
PM
Not trying to justify or excuse the alleged actions of the seniors at all, but how are people so surprised? Jefferies NY, especially the HC and M&A groups, has been known to have exceptionally rough culture and a number of seniors with unscrupulous reputations since forever. Personally, the most surprising takeaway on this thread is that people have really short memories for that the prospects/juniors on WSO have really bought Handler's kool-aid. Jefferies doesn't have the greatest reputation among seniors at other firms for a reason.
I think its worldwide, their analysts and associate are top. Go into the seniors and you begin noticing the toxicity. (Never worked there, just interviewed)
Some outliers in senior positions are great, others need to check themselves
