106: Turney Duff – A Wall Street Trader’s Tale of Spectacular Excess

Turney Duff was a hedge fund trader on Wall Street who lead a truly excessive lifestyle. In 2013 he released a book about his experiences—titled, The Buy Side. And currently, Turney is a consultant on the Showtime TV series, Billions. On this episode we cover everything, from what it was like to trade more than one billion dollars at Galleon Group—which was the hedge fund run by Raj Rajaratnam, currently serving an 11-year prison sentence for partaking in one of the largest insider trading rings in U.S. history. Following on from this, we discuss Turney’s relationships with the sell-side and the extreme measures they’d take to win his business. Which leads into the shenanigans which took place after-hours—the cocktail of drugs, alcohol, sex, money and power. We finish up with Turney’s fall from the top, some of the greatest realizations he’s come to, and the life he leads today… Enjoy! -- Sponsored by TradeStation.com – TradeStation connect traders with all the bell’s n whistles to better monitor and participate in markets.
