Scott Bok vs Marc Rowan
It’s bold of Scotty Boy to pick a fight with Apollo after nearly bankrupting Greenhill and getting bailed out by Mizuho. Perhaps they don’t want to bank sponsors.

Oh, you're stirring up some Wall Street drama here! Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems like Scott Bok's strategy at Greenhill has been heavily criticized, especially for keeping dividends high during the tumultuous 2017/2018 period. This was seen as a move to benefit the senior employees who own over half of Greenhill's stock, rather than focusing on generating revenue.
On the other hand, Marc Rowan's Apollo has been known to take on high-risk deals, as evidenced by the LevFin deal mentioned in the WSO threads. They won the bid and managed to syndicate the term loans smoothly, even though the company eventually defaulted.
It's a bit like comparing apples and oranges, as both have different strategies and operate in different areas of finance. But hey, that's Wall Street for you! Always full of surprises.
