Yeah, this is a hit piece against a low level schlub. By west coast standards, in fact, by New York standards this is light-years away from damning levels of failure. I mean, it's in total less than a healthy series a round, and probably less than a hedge fund trader can lose in a bad month without risking his job. Goldstein (author) writes investigative pieces on the Clintona' hedge fund dealing among other big issues. What on earth possessed him to try and tar this guy? That's the real story I'd love to read: how to buy or beg the favor of turning a nyt reporter into one's own hatchet man for nickel and dime vendettas. Sheesh. Full disclosure: I probably have lots of 2nd degree connections to the subject of the article since we were in related schools at the same time, but I don't know him and have no dog in his fight(s).
