I grew up with this guy! He was a year younger than me. We ran track together, rode the bus in grade school. Kid was nice enough - had a lisp is all that made him memorable plus he was naturally well built. He did used to look at me in the locker room….now I know why! Shoot, if I knew he was gonna turn out so stinking rich I would have him do more than look!!!

I knew he sued Kidder Peobody years ago...looks like he is in a world poop now...

That post made me a little uncomfortable.

Buddy Fletcher's early adulthood is a swirl of successes marred by brief episodes of unpleasantness. "The popularity Buddy had was almost unmatched," says Roy Niederhoffer, a New York hedge fund manager who was Fletcher's freshman roommate at Harvard. Fletcher, who played varsity football at Harvard, was voted a class marshal, a kind of prom king meets social chairman. He was a member of the Harvard Republican Club and the exclusive Phoenix SK club made famous in the film The Social Network because Mark Zuckerberg couldn't get in the door. Fletcher became club president. At one point, according to three former club members, including close friend Stephen Cass, Fletcher was impeached over concerns he had improperly used club funds. Some members resigned in support of Fletcher. Fletcher was later reinstated, and he and the two friends resumed their relationship with the club.

hmmmm

We only had maybe 10 Black families in our town growing up so any kid that wasn't white stood out. He stood out as a decent jock and student but if you were going to bet me that he was gonna be a primetime playa in the $$$ biz I would have taken that bet with points.

The two of them seem to be made for each other...

I say, this Buddy Fletcher would be perfect at replacing Tim Geitner in the new Obama administration: scam artists are really what they need.
