I traded my way to fortune by pioneering risk arbitrage. I remain one of Wall Streets most feared traders. I increased my fortune when I married my wife Kate, daughter of billionaire hotelier Frederick Wisher. I'm now moving New York real estate, buying and selling with same mania that characterized actions in mergers and acquisitions. Multiple SEC investigations failed to unearth wrongdoing. I am an unabashed proponent of wealth and capitalism, "Greed is good. Greed works." I adhere to a punishing schedule, even by investment banking standards, reviewing 100 deals a day. "Lunch is for wimps." As for my horrid reputation: "If you need a friend, get a dog."
