Mr. Rubin was prominently featured in Michael Lewis’s 1989 book “Liar’s Poker,” about Salomon Brothers in the 1980s. Mr. Rubin, according to the book, joined the firm in 1982 and became known as one of its wiliest traders. He left in 1985 for substantially more pay at Merrill Lynch.
“Of all the traders, Rubin displayed raw trading instinct,” Mr. Lewis wrote.
He became an object of fascination on Wall Street, Mr. Lewis wrote, for his application of behavioral research to mortgage sales. He later became infamous for his role in a $250 million loss in 1987 at Merrill Lynch.... After leaving Merrill Lynch, Mr. Rubin became a fund manager at Bear Stearns and then Soros Fund Management.....

Raw trading instinct.
I'm reading "Ex-Wall Street Star Accused of Abusing Women in Penthouse Sex ‘Dungeon’/Federal prosecutors say Howard Rubin, who faces sex trafficking charges, took victims to his apartment, where a bedroom was painted red, soundproofed and fitted with devices to use on the women" (NYT).

I'm shocked to see Soros' bloody hands in this creep's bio too. I wonder how hard the Low Information Voters here will work to create a tenuous link to bad orange man.
Jumbo Shrimp
Military Intelligence
And now: Penthouse Sex Dungeon!
After leaving Merrill Lynch, Mr. Rubin became a fund manager at Bear Stearns and then Soros Fund Management.....
Bury that lede!
Queer sexual orientation. #NoJudgment #NoLabels
The problem was, apparently, imperfect consent to a liberal parody. At least there were no children groomed or fetuses harmed/aborted. Did they practice safe penetration? Progress, I suppose.
But 50 Shades of Gray taught us that this is everything women want! 150 million sales can't be wrong!
Funny how the NYT doesn't mention in its the headline the perp's close working relationship to Soros.
"All the 'news' that's fit to print...!"
@boatbuilder: Failed Solomon Brothers followed by failed Merrell Lynch followed by failed Bear Stearns followed by Soros? Hmmm? That resume is much creepier than the sex dungeon part.
Don't let this guy on a ship that travels near icebergs. Nor an airplane that must land in the fog.
"Was that wrong? Nobody told me.."
Transactional sex. Each side comes out ahead.
Human commodities. #HateLovesAbortion
This guy sounds like a real human cannon ball. When you find a guy who pushes all the limits and seems lucky and is one move away from disaster then maybe you need to hire the worlds second best trader.
I though "Occupy Wall Street" leftists solved all of this greed. ?
Fitting trajectory. Soros' network of nonprofits passed the mortgage qualification deregulation that caused the 2008 crisis.
I don't know where the sex fits in.
Then it fell apart Like it always does
50 Shades of Grey was based on a true story?
Soros... non-profits... crisis... sex or sexual? The back... black hole... whore h/t NAACP at the intersection of sexism, racism, and redistributive change under the Rainbow with a pot at the end. Seance and transsensibility.
He was held in awe among the institutional players in the MBS market in the 80's. After he blew up and was fired at Merrill, Bear hired him like the next day. He was that good. And his big loss was viewed as a failure of risk management (which sucked at Merrill, and was excellent at Bear).
What I find funny is that all these alleged events took place when he was in his 60's and 70's. My idea of a wild time now is a second glass of beer.
What is different between this man and Bill Clinton?

I recall Liar’s Poker was never really that interesting to any of us finance types. In other tomes we could marvel at the villains as much as anyone but Liar’s Poker was for the masses, as were the villains it hyped. Most of the characters were meh…
wha?
is this sort of thing a Crime, now?
what sort of world are we living in?
Cigar, cigarette. A pool boy, too. Breaking the first rule of social liberal club. Queer.
Women at the back of the bus, girls under the bus, are a fetus... feature of [unqualified] monotonic change ("progress").
All's fair in lust and abortion.
He's gonna whip inflation now.
Dear Penthouse Sex Dungeon,
You’re not going to believe this, but last night I painted my bedroom red, soundproofed the walls and floor, and fitted it with devices to use on women.

Perfect.
those Q people were on to something,
that novel by megyn kelley's husband doug brunt, did suggest some of the depravity that the wolf of wall street left out
He paid $18,000 per month to rent his sex dungeon. No wonder he's backing Mamdani. New York has a real affordability crisis.....Weinstein will make parole before he does.......Congrats to Charlie Sheen. Of all the sex crazed maniacs who made the headlines, he's the only one to walk free and with reputation sufficiently intact to merit a respectful interview with Oprah.
Another amoral sex-addict manning the levers of our world economy, or at least New York-based finance, buddy of Soros, patron of Epstein, friend of Kamala and Biden and Obama and Clintons. What a bunch of high-stepping "deplorables".
and then Soros Fund Management...
Just gonna leave that there huh? Very enticing
I wonder what the market is for used sex dungeons on the real estate market?
I read that the tiled gay bathouses with blood wash-away drainage struggled after that AIDS thing in the 1980s.
Bob has won the thread.
It sounds like 50 Shades of Red. Ouch.
How come so many abusive sex freaks are rich and involved in tech or finance?
Soros always did have that "Count Dracula" vibe ...
@RCOCEAN II:
The main thing about being rich is that you can indulge every fantasy. You can buy anything legal and most things illegal with ease. Some average truck drivers and baristas have the same fantasies, but not the budget to build the room or buy the 'guests.' New money always spends more than old money, for the 3rd generation couldn't earn diddly without an inheritance (see Princes Andrew and Harry).
Tech (Silicon Valley), finance (NYC), and politics (DC) literally attract psychopaths. These people have no fear, lots of ambition, and a will to power. Only 1% or 2% of the general population has these traits, but the centers of ambition concentrate these personalities.The smart psychopaths are able to balance their professional and personal interests...the dumb and impulsive ones go to prison.
