TOP STORY

The Jimmy Cayne Takedown

Bear Stearns chief executive James Cayne is apt to be the talk of Wall Street on Thursday, as industry insiders gape over a long, unflattering and at times highly gossipy profile of him in The Wall Street Journal. The account, which tops 3,000 words and makes repeated use of unnamed sources, portrays him as an out-of-touch leader with a penchant for pot smoking who is more interested in his bridge and golf games than tending to his firm's recent crises.

Already, Wall Street denizens are speculating about whether Mr. Cayne's former lieutenant and fellow bridge enthusiast, Warren Spector, might have had a hand in the story.

The Journal article leads with an account of 10 days in July that Mr. Cayne spent at a bridge tournament in Nashville, Tenn., even as two of Bear's hedge funds were staggering toward what would eventually become twin bankruptcy filings. He was "without a cellphone or an email device" during the trip, the Journal said.

The article also said he sometimes caps a day of bridge with a joint, including during a trip to Memphis in 2004. In a short interview with the Journal, Mr. Cayne wouldn't address general questions about pot smoking but said there was "zero chance" that the story about the Memphis trip was true.

Mr. Cayne's weekly golf outings in New Jersey over the summer -- a period of extreme turmoil at his firm -- have been widely reported. Bear Stearns maintains that he is in contact with the office while off site, something that Samuel Molinaro Jr., Bear's chief operating and financial officer, repeated in Thursday's profile: "I've never had a problem reaching him," he told the Journal.

Mr. Cayne has other defenders in the article, including David Winters, a former chief of mutual-fund firm Franklin Mutual Advisers, who calls him a "great captain." It also points out that Mr. Cayne traveled to China over the Labor Day weekend to help seal a partnership with a Beijing investment bank.

McColo was an Internet service provider providing service to malware and botnet operators. At the time of termination of its upstream service on November 11, 2008, it was estimated that McColo customers were responsible for a substantial proportion of all email spam then flowing^[1] and subsequent reports claim a two-thirds or greater reduction in global spam volume.^[2] This reduction has been sustained for some period after the takedown. McColo was one of the leading players in the so-called "bulletproof hosting" market — ISPs that will allow servers to remain online regardless of complaints.
