BREAKING NEWS: Bankers drink alcohol and use drugs

According to this head-turning piece of journalism, bankers and Wall Street types apparently aren't the goody-goodies we've all been lead to believe. To the contrary, they drink and use drugs!

"Alcohol has long oiled the wheels of commerce on Wall Street, where bankers working long hours will entertain clients over dinner and drinks, or let off steam at late-night clubs with hard liquor and drugs."

This reminds me of the time I went into the bathroom at Bungalow 8 and walked in on Alan Greenspan and Le Trois snorting a line of coke with a rolled up Collatoralized Debt Obligation. Awkward.

On the other hand, this article also does a really good job of summarizing what I imagine Evil's time in Shanghai has been like. There might be a future in banking for you when you get back to NYC Evil!
