Howard Rubin, 70, a former Salomon Brothers bond trader accused of Abusing Women in Penthouse Sex ‘Dungeon’

^^^That .is link doesn't work for me.

.........

And his much younger personal assistant was also charged... Crazy!

I imagine Trump will appoint him Fed Chair to replace Jerome Powell.

"Benjamin Rosenberg, a lawyer for Mr. Rubin, disputed the government’s claims that his client had intimidated victims, describing Mr. Rubin as a family man who spent ample time babysitting his grandchildren, which he wanted to continue while out on bail."

Liar's Poker was a fantastic book and reflected exactly how Solly and the rest of the bulge bracket guys acted.

Nothing wrong with that.

This is what the rich do, knowing full well, they raraley pay any price

the eyes dont lie

[quote]Mr. Rubin and Ms. Powers were previously sued in a civil case involving the victims in 2017. In 2022, a jury found Mr. Rubin found liable for trafficking and ordered him to pay $3.9 million.

[quote]Tara McGrath, a federal prosecutor, said there were dozens more victims who had not been named in court papers, and that Mr. Rubin had relied on 10 other people to carry out the scheme who have not been charged.

[quote]She said that Mr. Rubin continued his sex trafficking even after he was sued in 2017. “The criminality here has continued,” Ms. McGrath said.

[quote]Ms. Powers, 45, was primarily responsible for the logistics of the trafficking, prosecutors said, including by recruiting and paying the women, arranging for them to sign nondisclosure agreements, and taking notes on the encounters and whether Mr. Rubin enjoyed them. Ms. Powers was arrested in Texas and set to be transferred to Brooklyn.

[quote]Prosecutors said Mr. Rubin took advantage of the women, many of whom were especially vulnerable because of their histories of addiction and abuse.

[quote]In addition to sex trafficking, Mr. Rubin was also charged with bank fraud, and both Mr. Rubin and Ms. Powers were charged with transporting people across state lines for the purposes of prostitution. Both defendants face life in prison if convicted.

Her official job was exploiting vulnerable women and defrauding banks? What has to happen in your life to lead you to make that career choice?

Bail denied. Residing at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center.

the grandchildren should feel welcome...

The pigeons liked to watch.

I remember when an event planner at Salomon Brothers was arrested for charging personal items on her corporate card. They didn’t arrest her until she purchased an expensive fur coat. Thousands of dollars of personal charges and it takes a fur coat before anyone notices.
