Here’s part of an email that I sent to someone a couple of days ago:
I’ve never been as close to honest to god mobsters as I was when I was
contracted out to [Wall Street firm]. No shit, pinky ring wearing,
Hey-Tony, fuggetaboutit mobsters.
When that stuff went down, the night before the paper dump… And no law
enforcement was involved in the investigation. Man, that was it. You
just knew that this was going to be handled off the books.
