"About 100 alumni from the defunct securities firm that JPMorgan acquired in March 2008 assembled Dec. 18 at the Dream Hotel's Rm. Fifty5 on West 55th Street, described on its Web site as neo-Gothic "surreal luxury." Courtney Dickinson, a 25- year-old former Bear Stearns employee who organized the event, said the mood was "nostalgic."

Dozens more former Bear Stearns employees met a few weeks earlier in the upstairs bar at Connolly's Pub, the watering hole on East 47th Street a few blocks from Bear Stearns' old headquarters on Madison Avenue, said Justin Brannan, who worked in the firm's wealth management unit for three years. The affair brought together about 100 people who paid for their own drinks at the Irish pub's long, wooden bars.

"That's where we went after we got sold, so it was a pretty fitting place to get together," said Brannan, 31, who now raises money for the Bnai Zion Foundation, a charity that funds humanitarian projects in Israel and the U.S. "It was cool. It was like a high-school reunion." "

"It was just like old times," said Sheldon Moskowitz, a former bond trader for Bear, who now does taste-testing of blood for the IDF, and has a part time business selling human body parts. "We got really drunk and obnoxious. Then we hit on some women. Then we bought some prostitutes. Good times."

You know C.M.,

I can actually believe it is true!

Sheldon might also be pimping some former B.S. Investment Banker Divas that turned to pole dancing as well to make ends meet for the loft in Manhatten. I thought read an article about that one :   :shock:
