-He cut his product it with all kinds of low-life scrapings to boost its yield. This was not your non-usual coke-lite levered beta: Billy dropped in all kinds of Front-runners, insider intel, short squeezes, corner action. Billy’s medicine could bang you up bad: just a tipoff is all it took. The high lasted a week but the downer was a killer.
+He cut his product it with all kinds of low-life scrapings to artificially boost the yield.
-Billy copped to a market manipulation rap in 2010 and the cops shut him down. He went way for a stretch but what do you know, hallelujah he found God and got time off for good behaviour. He got right back in the game.

-But twist:Our Billy-Boy’s a clean skin now. The CFTC goons tailed him solid for your years. Parked up outside his family office. He says “how can I? I don't ''deal'' no more. I’m like but you are generating 200 large every week. What can you possibly need all that for? He looked at me. “need ? Need? I deduce that ''you don't understand the game''.”
+“Some, but mainly illicit stuff. Billy Boy had a taste for the funky gibbon, know what I mean? This was not your non-usual coke-lite levered beta: Billy dropped in all kinds of bad juju: front-runners, insider intel, short squeezes, corner action.  He liked the young energetic lads in the [[naked short]]s, shall we say. And he had the good connections if you are that way inclined. A proper abuser was our Billy Boy. Liked his prices dirty.

+Got away with it for years. He had friends on the inside.
+Billy copped to a market manipulation rap in 2010 and the cops shut him down. He went way for a stretch but what do you know, ''hallelujah'' he found God and got time off for good behaviour. He got right back in the game.
+But twist: our Billy-Boy’s a clean skin now. The [[CFTC]] goons tailed him for four solid years. Parked up in a dented Chevy outside his family office and quaffed donuts to no avail. Billy kept it clean. He did not indulge.
+The disbelieving goons tried to work him over.  He says “how can I? I don’t ''deal'' no more.”
+“Son, you’re generating 200 large a ''week''. What d’you need all that for?” He looked at me. “need ? Need? I deduce that you ain’t met my missus. She’s exhausting, Officer Dibble.”
+“Is for my own use. What can I say? My missus has expensive taste. Her daughter is even worse. She’s a bad influence.
+And you ''bought'' that?
+Boone looked at the PI. “I’m not buying this.”
+“There’s a beaucoup paper trail. I’ve got what I need.” The Dick grinned thinly. “[[Due dilly]], you know.”
+Boone snatched his lapels and pulled him close. He growled, “I expect it of Wang. I expect better of you.”
+The Dick shrugged. He checks out legit. he’s largely clean and generating good [[alpha]].
+Where do I find him?
+He's in the family way. He’s running a money for he rich aunt from a swap shop in the West End. Family style. Long only. Given the shorting away. That's the story he tells but you know — leopards, spots. The Swissies love him.
+“Who?”
+The Swiss. His prime brokers.
+Boone dropped the dick and said, “you poor ''naïf''”. He left the door swinging.
+The Dick was curled up in a ball, but he fanned his billfold and said, “I don’t think ''I’m'' the naif, [[Opco Boone]].”
