The Most Bat Shit Crazy Thing I've Read on DealBreaker in a WHILE (Originally Posted: 11/25/2010)
Alright, I normally try to keep my DealBreaker and my WSO lives separate, but every once and a while I see something on DealBreaker so fucking nuts that I can't help but make sure everyone sees it.
It's discouraging to think that someone like this would frequent the same blogs that I do. As you read this, you just know homie is writing his email while wearing a helmet made of aluminum foil.

Subject: SAC Capitol/Loch Capitol/FBI
Hi.
Two questions on the ongoing FBI investigation that appears to involve Timothy and Todd McSweeney and Loch Capitol:
1: Is there a Chinese (as in Government of China) connection to any of this? Todd McSweeney’s wife, Jeanette Hsu, appears to be of Chinese ancestry, both of the names you listed in your sex scandal story are Chinese, and I do know that the Chinese Govt is very much into American finance — I had a neighbor (at UMass Amherst) who was a grad student at the UM Isenberg SOM and he was an open (and proud) member of the ChiCom Communist Party and that the party has sent him over here to learn this stuff. Openly told me what the Chinese Govt was trying to do.
(And other Chinese grad students were afraid of him, which more than anything else told me the legitimacy of his claim to be a party member.)
I know the Chinese Govt is spying on us — a FBI guy at a recruitment seminar this fall openly said so, said that one of the things the FBI does is deal with Chinese espinage. A favorite trick of the Soviets was to have an attractive woman manipulate an American man and I am just asking. It is quite likely that all these people (and I don’t know how many more persons of Chinese ancestry are involved) are loyal Americans — I personally know persons born in China who are exceedingly loyal Americans precisely because they escaped from China and are loyal to this country in a way that only one who has been in the land of forced abortions and the rest could be.
I am wondering though — is there a conection to Chinese espinage or anything else? (i.e. terrorist money laundering and note that NBC (Brian Ross) is reporting that Homeland Security is desperately seeking two suspected homicide bombers whom they fear will get aboard US aircraft). I hear quietly from a young attorney (unrelated to any of this, but he is not stupid) that “the only thing the FBI seems to care about anymore is terrorism.”
And the flip side of all of this — my ChiCom neighbor/friend told me this — the Chinese Govt has its own problem with Radical Islam — they just don’t talk about it. They also have their own problems with the North Koreans — quite a few problems with them — also not spoken publicly of. Hence on the one hand they would be allies with this on us against a common foe, but on the other hand there is the “better him than me” approach and attacks on Chinese soverignty (and their ability to control a tumultious region) are prevented if they are redirected towards us.
2: Are there any ties between the McSweeneys and the MassGOP? Your SAC ‘be a woman’ story is in keeping with some of the folk in the MassGOP. From the days of Margaret Chase Smith — from the days of the Abolitionist movement and the founding of the party — the GOP has always been a female-friendly party but this “don’t be male” stuff that you describe — both the feminine and gay aspects — is kinda like what I have been sensing from these MassGOP folk.
I know that there is a strong link between the finance folk and the MassGOP — that is where the folk in the party seem to come from. (The “old money” folk are Democrats.) Mitt Romney comes out of the finance/venture capitol field (Bain Capitol if I remember correctly) and he is still running for President. Again, I am just wondering…

One other thing — I believe that female hormone pills, at least the real ones with real female hormones — are prescription medications that require (a) a doctor’s prescription and (b) a pharmicist filling it. (Birth control pills are female hormones, I believe they are still all prescription drugs.) What your story did not mention is how the guy obtained the pills he was forced to take, but there quite likely is a Federal offense there – the term is “drug diversion” and from your student days you may have been more familiar with it in the terms of things like Adderall (more tightly controlled than b/c pills because it is Schedule II).
But this is a technical violation of the law which can be prosecuted and I wonder if the FBI is using that fact to obtain cooperation from (a) the now-fired supervisor or (b) the employee — both of whom you will note have Chinese names.

Reading Dealbreaker's Paul Enright tenant-landlord litigation story I stumbled upon a terrific comment by a 'Guest' one day ago. This is one of the best, if not the best, fundraising letters I have seen lately.
This is Mutombo. We are a successful app developer based in the ciy off Lagos, Nigeria. Throughout our 25-year history we have developed thousands of apps for mobile and landline phones that have earned us the hundreds of millions of dollars in profit. We are currently contracted by a very reputable VC firm to provide him with an 'Old Man Yelling At Sky' app for the amount of about $12 billion dollars. We would like to get your help in developing that app and would be prepared to offer you half of the profits. However, due to a large outbreak of the ebolas in our country, we are unable to go to the bank and access the moneys in deposit we need for development. Our estimated budget for development of this $12 billion app that would bring the riches to both of us is about 20,000 dollars including the amount that would cost us to wire half of that $12 billion to your account. If you can help us, kindly place 20,000 dollars in unmarked, non-sequential bills in an envelope and place it tomorrow before 2pm in the trash bin inside the Chipotles located on the third avenue and E 43rd street. Please place the envelope before 2pm as the Chipotles takes the trash out and we would be afraid to lose your monies. Also include your info so we can wire you back the billions of dollars. Sir, we are in dire need and you are the only one that can bring us the funds that we need to develop the application and claim or billions of dollars. Please be assured that this is a very reputable firm and the developers and VCs have already signed to the deal.

I think I'm in the minority of people on this site that do not find DB funny or entertaining. The UBS Quant thing has been going on forever.
my motto for deal breaker: "come for the articles. stay for the comments".

but is there any explanation behind the UBS Quant?
I've never found that site funny or entertaining.
Love DB, and I read for the comments as well. I think working at UBS is the running joke around there because it's such a disaster.
They don't block dealbreaker at my workplace so I'm just happy I have access.
Favorite article has got to be the following about Kweku:

DB is awesome, especially after the addition of Matt Levine. Jon Shazar is subtraction by addition - that guy blows.

Matt Levine is a fantastic writer.
Dealbreaker is a go-to site about wall street. Almost everyone in finance reads, has read, or knows of dealbreaker.
The LSO comments were by far the greatest thing to ever hit the Wall Street blogosphere, you can't read them anymore for some reason (unless you use the wayback machine!)
Not a huge fan of DB, but the comments can be hilarious

apps for landline phones
20k for 6bn = 30,000,000% return, I'd take that any day
this is amazing
29,999,900% return. Not bad.
Looks like the ebolas have taken over the asylum.
