Alexander from Liar's Poker

I finally read Liar's Poker and it was every bit as good as people say it is. One thing I was wondering is whether anybody here knows who the bond salesmen in NY, Alexander, is. The guy seems like one of the sharpest guys at Salomon and I was wondering if he might have started a hedge fund or some other investment vehicle considering the way he's described in the book. I know it's kind of random, but I would love any insight you guys have.

I want to know who the guy is that was leading the training class and said, "You see these piece of sh*t bonds? You buy these and you will get your f@ckin face ripped off!" Hahaha.

 

^^^ That was so easy to find out using Google. Just type in "Who is the Human Piranha?" No joke.
