This story is getting a ton of traction, probably because the accused is a female banker. This stuff doesn't surprise me at all. After all, JP Morgan banked Epstein for years after his first incarceration. But I experienced countless examples of deviance at all ranges of the spectrum. Just a couple of examples that come to mind: 1) High yield deal for Chinese billionaire property developer. Doing a global roadshow. The CEO drunkenly assaults a female analyst in a hotel room. Instead of bailing on the deal (and losing the IPO fees), the bank sends her home and continues with the roadshow. 2) My first boss, a Managing Director, never bothered to interview prospective analysts. Waste of his time. One day, he overheard us talking about interviews and that one female Ivy League applicant listed "Glamour Magazine Woman Of The Year" on her résumé. He insisted on the doing the interview (~45 minutes). He came back 10 minutes later and said, "I guess looks were not among Glamour's criteria" and threw the résumé in the trash. He's still a senior MD in London. 3) The hedge fund sales desk only hired attractive female analysts. They referred to them as "tethered goats" and would bring them to all their client drinks. 4) Our head of trading got annoyed at the meekness of an intern and wanted to toughen him up. Made him take a survey of every guy on the trading floor and rank every female on the credit sales team in order of fuckability. And then had him chart it up and present it to us in PowerPoint. 5) Many emerging markets closing dinners were male bankers only because clients typically want to go to dirty karaoke. I could probably think of a dozen more, but you get the idea....
