A 10 second clip shows Jonathan Kaye, a Moelis MD/partner, punching someone. The clip ignores all the events leading up to the exchange. Jacket wet, people on the ground - why? You can hear him say she threw sh*t all over him!

Jonathan Kaye, the ex-Moelis banker, was assaulted and provoked into an act of self-defense to escape a violent situation.
Here’s proof.
Sadly, a shorter video that lacked all context led to a spiral which completely derailed his life. Is that right? Is that fair? Not at all.
JUST IN: Full footage released of the NYC banker who went viral last month for hitting someone from a pride event.
Jonathan Kaye went viral after a short clip showed him KO'ing a person in Brooklyn, however the video didn't show the full story.
On Monday, Kaye turned himself in
Remember the 29 year old Kraft Heinz CFO who came in from 3G and proceeded to destroy the company, get downgraded into High Yield (fallen angel), and admit financial accounting errors?

You are going to the JPMorgan Leveraged Finance conference in Miami to hang out and party with your industry friends instead of doing your job and meeting with companies, are you not?
Friend just IB’d me saying he bought some 1L bonds.

Roaring Kitty made some trades in GameStop and then announced to the market that he did. There is no difference between you or I doing that exact same thing. How is this market manipulation? It’s not.
