I have to take down my WSO account - good bye

It's been great. My posts were meant to be just for shits and giggles. Obviously, some of you were deeply offended. So I decided to take down my account for good. Obviously, whatever I express here are strictly my own opinion and not anyone else's and certaintly not that of my potential employer. I apologize to all of you non-target students, those who work for chop shops and retail banks as well as those of you with no offers. Indeed, my words have caused much havoc amongst you. I wish you all luck finding your dream company.

Good bye

BTW I suck dick at your dream company

 

When I was in high school, on a hot day I would prepare my hand and as I would walk by a random person, I'd wipe my hand on their face, beginning with the butt of my hand on their forehead, and ending with the tip of my fingers pulling down their lower lip. When they would push away and look at me in bewilderment, I'd utter 2 words: ball sweat.

My point is, when you're young you do a lot of stupid things without realizing the consequences until much later. Now that I'm older, wiser, and arguably more mature, I understand the consequence of repeatedly wiping your ball sweat on another man's face.... LondonE1.

It's been real, London. Glad to see you're smart enough to get off the forums. But in two weeks when some anonymous fool returns with the same bullshit you spewed all over the place, we'll know who it is. I can't speak for everyone else here, but I certainly look forward to your return. Adios.

I also have some advice for your internship. Be sure to continue to put down non-targets throughout your time with BX Restructuring, as the only people that work there are from Ivies. Specifically, make sure you knock those shitty, undeserving undergrads to senior MD's like Tim Coleman, Mike Genereux, Marty Gudgeon, Art Newman, and Pam Zilly. MDs Peter Laurinaitis, Dave Riddell, and Pete Rose may enjoy your elitist attitude as well. This will ensure that your dream internship becomes your dream job. Best of luck.

PS - Are you sure you can work at Blackstone? About 75% of your seniors are from non-targets. I wouldn't think that someone as intelligent as you would take orders from such an ordinary group of people. You can do much better.

 
IBnutz:
how has anyone been able to ID this guy???? Is there a way to ID other people?

only when you give out detailed information about yourself and then are obnoxious enough to give people a reason to care. we have never and we will never give out any ID info.

Well, he has been spewing shit all over the forums and he has let everyone know that he is interning at Blackstone Restructuring, the date he received his offer, that he was supposed to be interning for Citi in London, and where he goes to school. If someone at BX read this forum (and I would not be surprised at all if someone does) and saw how bad he was making BX look, it's definitely probable that HR could have contacted him and asked him to end his WSO run.

 

Restructuring Fees

LondonE1:
Official:

Ex. $YourDreamDealSize

-a monthly retainer & success fees: 99% goes to your dream MD I work for, .9% goes to your dream associates who are my colleagues, the rest goes to pay for your mom and your dream condos and cars I own. -the premium fee=20%x$YourDreamDealSize for your dream company

I hope this helps.

Let's try this with another example:

SA Compensation for 2009

LondonE1:
a top restructuring group in NYC (think HLHZ, Blackstone), early june to early august. $60,000 prorated, no signing bonus (wth?).......

$60k prorated: - 99% goes to feeding your ego - 0.9% goes to paying for food/necessities - The rest goes to strip clubs b/c you can't get any tail - 100% gets threatened by HR telling you to cut your WSO antics!

It's not that I'm bitter; I will be at my dream firm/group this summer (and no, it's not BX). I just find your presupposition that everyone should want to be you quite unnerving. That said, you follow a long line of WSO comic relief posters, so I await your reincarnation in another name.

 

The easist person here to ID is Dipset. He has informed others that he:

Goes to Columbia Plays Football there Is probably from New ENgland (probably MA)judging by his NE Patriots worship Is about 6-1, 205, making him a D-Back, Wideout or, at the ivy level, an outside LB/ Whip Majors in economics Is a rising senior

Can't be hard.

After going to this link, where "Kirk Weller" is listed as D.O.B. 4/8/88 and cross-refrencing the info with this post

dipset1011:
Im 21 and will be turning 22 in exactly 9 days. I think 35 would be considered cougar status
which was posted 1/27/09, i have unfortunately come to the conclusion that dipset is NOT Kirk Weller...I am far too bored today....
 

People who have no friends need to share their personal accomplishments and goals on online forums because no one in the real world gives a shit about them. These losers have no one to talk to, and thus must resort to divulging personal info on public forums in order to get some sort of personal connection. Its not a problem if you're nice or somewhat cool, but if you're a dick, it will probably come back to haunt you. Finance is a pretty small world.

 

Joemontana.... What you did in the above post is incredibly wrong. Someone remove his post please. I dont even like dipset but he has the right to anonymity. London however waived his right when he began harassing others.

That’s all his stuff, dude. I’ve never even looked at his profile. If he didn’t want it out there, he shouldn’t have posted it. You forego your right to anonymity when you post private info.

Outting a colleague is one thing; summarizing someone’s posts is another.

Since when does a person's right to anonymity depend on their attitude and behavior? It's a good thing actual laws aren't crafted this way.

Can you give us a list of other users who have also lost their right to anonymity, based on your opinion of them?

There is no such thing as a right to anonymity. Even if one wanted to argue that on internet forums there is an unspoken agreement that anonymity should be respected, I don't see how one could legitimately argue that they "deserve" to remain anonymous when the divulge information left and right.

 

dude come on you didnt have to compile all that information. Sometimes people post bits and pieces assuming no one is going to get bored and put the puzzle together. Just have some class. You woudlnt want someone doing it to you.

Dude, c'mon. It was Joe Montana who fucked up, not Jim Brown. Attention to detail my friend.

It's a sad day to see London go, but I'm sure he'll be back.

 

well if dipset doesn't wanna get ID'd he shouldn't brag about his "accomplishments" to random strangers on an internet forum, that's what friends are for. if some people on this site brag THIS much to anonymous strangers, imagine how annoying they are to people they ACTUALLY KNOW. plus, i doubt that londonE1 works at blackstone, judging by the dumbassness of some of his posts. if one actually worked for a place like BX, im sure they'd be WAY more careful about it.

Rickets hmmm thats a good question. London is by far the most obnoxious wso member ever and even he has that right of anonymity after thinking about it. I wont be the one that calls BX.

I agree, and I honestly don't find london that annoying, I'm pretty sure he's been going for sarcasm and just wasn't that great at channeling LSO. maybe people would've laughed if the economy was better...

 

Just a word of caution, fellas.

Outing anonymous colleagues will have a deleterious effect on the quality of the information on the site.

Consider your self-interest. Outing a college douchebag here or there isn't the end of the world for anyone, but if one senior guy with major scoop to share hesitates for a minute because a couple of nobodies have been outed, we've all lost something pretty valuable.

Just something to think about.

Oh, and if your claim to fame is one tackle against Princeton, I'd probably want to keep that to myself too.

Ha, exactly what I thought when I read that kid's profile. I don't even think you have to tackle anyone from Princeton, you just run towards him until you hear a high pitched scream and see the ball pop up in the air.

Well the main character in Ugly Americans written by Ben Mezrich (Bringing Down the House) played Wide Reciever at Princeton and set a NCAA D3 record for receiving yards in a game. Guy turned out to be a badass index arb trader at Kidder Peabody trading in Japan in the 90s and later did one of the greatest single trades in the history of the world. Very entertaining read you should check it out.

D3? attention to detail my friend. His name is michael lerch, and it is the 1AA record, not d3

 

Marcus you would love the book. All the important parts of business in Japan is conducted in brothels and bath houses. Fast cars, women, Yakuza, great great read.

Derp, wasnt thinking. Havent read the book in a couple years but im due a reread soon. Ivy league football might as well be D3 haha. Thanks for his name tho by the way. Have you read the book or just know who im referencing by its story?

I've read the book. Ben Mezrich is one of my favorite authors when it comes to light, but interesting and informative reading

 

Probably the most entertaining thread I've read on WSO-- well played all around. My favorite part?

Marcus_Halberstram:
Great detective work Joe, except I recently figured out I know Dipset from a PM exchange we had, Dipset very vaguely resembles a few of the above mentioned traits.

Not exactly an FBI profiler, are you?

dipset1011:
You guys relax. I've toned it down please.

Is Marcus_Halberstram also dipset? Does Marcus know Dipset well enough to lie for him? Are they dating? And so it begins...

I think the following song is more about obsession than anything. Similarly, one can dedicate their life to constantly criticizing fellow WSO's and that is socially not acceptable. In a way LondonE1 is someone whose life is dedicated to this addiction and he sees no problem with it, and he's not searching for rehabilitation or any sort of help.

Any thoughts on the etymology of this song by a great 80's manchester band will be entertained.

 

You really think its that unlikely for someone to have gone to a school where the kids are not as big pussies as Princeton? I could name Jefferson Community college in Kentucky, and they have bigger balls than you.

Or are you hoping I name a school that has a diesel football team, and you can compensate for being a pussy by playing the prestige card?

In any case, I went to USC UG, then HBS, and went on to receive an honorary doctorate at Oxford because I was regularly banging a 70 year old lady who was on the board of trustees.

Now shut the fuck up with your small man complex.

 
Marcus_Halberstram:
Umm... no, I applied and got accepted. So thats where I went and got more ass than a wedgie.

Which is funny, because you spent the better part of your life studying your ass off, not doing shit otherwise, and being surrounded by busted ass girls. I spent the better part of 4 years getting crunk.

Translation: I spent four years jerking off under the covers at night.

The people who spend their time telling other anonymous people how much tail they smashed are usually full of shit. And pretty insecure to boot.

 

Tetris:
Is USC even a semi-target?! Even Drexel U is better!

Maybe I should drag around a toilet to show people that I AM THE SHIT.

Loving the vitriol directed at my purported alma mater. Not going to lie, when your school thinks "eating clubs" are the coolest thing possible, and you still can't get above a 3.1, you lose the right to talk shit.
