Does anyone know if Leveraged Sell-Out, the website, is done for good? There hasn't been a new post since October.

I wish the author would post more or at least take on another writer or two, that site is comedic gold.
i thought it was clear that 'remember the titans' was his i'm-out post
Not sure I took it that way - he could just be on hiatus while he markets his book...hopefully.
he actually started posting mini-stories as "news" in the module above the remember the titans post for a little while and then stopped.
no clue.
We're about to enter a Great Depression. Don't you want a president who's already dressed for it?
Leveraged Sell-Out Truly Dead? (Originally Posted: 10/17/2012)
Can anyone get onto LSO these days? I still like to re-read the old posts every-now-and-then but the site doesn't seem to be working anymore.
Is it dead for all? This could be a sad sad day....
Yep, seems the domain is expired :(
Re-read that book. Think it was called: Damn It's Good to Be a Banker.
The book is good, but I agree that the site was better. I liked the Murray Hill series...

You can still read it here, complete with comments
SB for you - knew it had to be archived somewhere.
+1 for the archive. Bookmarking that shit.
... and it's back!
Who is Leveraged Sell-Out (Originally Posted: 11/01/2009)
Has LSO been outed? Why hasn't his site been updated in the past year?
The author of that blog is Amit Chatwani.
no, he was never really "outed" because i don't think he was ever really concerned about preserving his anonymity.
i think he decided he would write a book instead: Damn it Feels Good to Be a Banker.
why he stopped? not sure, because he was definitely talented. maybe he just got sick of it.

I think he stopped because of a combination of the economic crisis, the fact his book had come out, and he was bored of it.
I understand what he's going for but that flimsy book is not worth more than 2 dollars IMO. You can get the gist just by flipping through the pages. The fact that he is not even a banker is a bit sad and I would much rather prefer satire from someone who had experience in the business.
I love the elitism in this quote so much. I'm just so glad that you see working in finance as a prerequisite to being humorous. LSO would be so proud.
It's still pretty funny though. Guy was a pro imo.
I think him not being a banker was what made it so funny. He gave everyone a view outside the bubble and made fun of all of us. People got pissed is also funny since it shows how "elite" we all think we are.
God I wish that he would start posting again. I always looked forward to his new entries. Definitely hilarious, especially the blog entries that he started at the tail end of the site. The $14 Ghana stimulus plan still gives me a good laugh.
