D.E. Shaw Allegations from a Fired MD

https://dealbreaker.com/2018/05/fired-de-shaw-md-…

  • An MD repeatedly sent text messages with inappropriate sexual images during different meetings.
  • On another trip to a strip club (where I was not present), it was reported that one employee received oral sex from another employee.
  • An MD sent many many emails that had sexualized versions of words such as “possibilititty.”

The last allegation cracked me up.
