GS Banker on Colbert
Who saw this? Haha. Stephen Colbert claimed one of his writers found a Goldman Sachs Partner's credit card on the ground in NYC...he actually held the card up to the camera, revealing the guy's name. The card had GS on it, and somehow denoted the owner was a partner but I forget how. I googled the name, apparently it's a real dude - this is the guy:

Colbert pulled a Bill Maher/Christine O'Donnell and said he would reveal one # of his credit card every day until the dude agrees to appear on the show, and the first number is a 5, but I'm sure that won't continue. Surely the card is cancelled anyways. But still hilarious.
Is that legal?
I really would like to see Colbert interview this guy though.
Too bad GS controls the media...this guy probably embarrassed the firm in someway and this is his penance
How the hell do you get to be a GS partner before you're 30?
He's 38 and was made partner in 2006. So partner at 34. In that time he also managed a master's from LSE and a JD from Hahvahd. And his wife's hot.
F*@&
Think I'm going to go study some more now.
Oops. Misread. She was 31 when they married, he was 38. Thanks for pointing out the error.
Why is his wife that gorgeous?
he's filthy rich :(
you guys really find her attractive? she's got a wide jaw, but i'm not really into blonds anyway
Quit hating DatGreyPoupon. His wife is, as broslikethissite.com would say "a total slam piece." And she can cook. Damn.
When you graduate summa cum laude from Dartmouth and received a master’s in international political economy from the London School of Economics and a law degree from Harvard....and you're an MD/Partner at Goldman....pulling tail has got to be like fishing with dynamite.
Obviously it's because he has money. They'll get divorced in a few years and she'll take half. Why do you think she kept her name?
I wouldn't put up with that kinda shit i.e. wife keeping her last name, no matter how hot the chick was. That's gotta be emasculating.
she can cook though!
Because she's got a career going!
And also the practice of women adopting husband surname after marriage is incredibly antiquated and a throwback to the dark ages of feudalism when women were considered properties of first their fathers then their husbands. There is no reason why any modern woman would subjugate themselves to this humiliation.
anyone see it last night? Colbert got an email from Goldman. "Apparently Goldman Sachs has lawyers. I received an email from Goldman Sachs Global Securities which I would imagine is a euphemism for 'assassin squad' "
Any recent updates on that guy Buckley Ratchford? He left GS in 2011 after the firm suffered losses in the bank loans trading and special sits business he oversaw, not sure if the two events were related. He then went on start a HFcalled Wingspan Capital with seed money from Reservoir Capital in 2012. That was the last I heard about him. Cant seem to find any info on that HF now. Wonder if it is still in business.
I'm guessing they're still in business, since they have an SEC filing from last month.

Thanks. I am a bit surprised at the small AUM of his HF, given his GS track record (notwithstanding the losses at the end) and having a blue chip seeder like Reservoir. $345m for 5 different strategies can spread quite thin. Their returns so far have been rather modest and I bet the U.S distressed bank loan strategy isn't seeing too many good opportunities in this yield environment.
