Talk:Michael Steinhardt

Probably makes sense
I just created the article on Steinhardt Partners, honestly just so another article I made could get rid of a red link, and did find it a little hard to fill with relevant info. Although I did just read that Jim Cramer's wife got her start there. That's sort of random.

I say yes, merge them. For the greater good.--Beware of Cow 02:56, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

This guy is a baller. Though it would be nice of him to help out even Orthodox Jewish causes, I appreciate his work. My first trip to Israel was on a birthright trip! Thanks!

Known for short selling?
I'm fairly sure I heard an anchor on CNBC refer to Steinhardt as a "legendary short seller". This article's only mention of strategy is an undocumented: "event driven multi-strategy fund". Side note: Why the term "demi-billionaire"? Seems to be taken straight out of the Forbes article. So, it's just a way of saying he's worth about half a billion? --Georgeryp 04:12, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Father
Why so much on his father? I read "No Bull" and that was just a small part of the book. -- CampBaker —Preceding unsigned comment added by CampBaker (talk • contribs) 11:46, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Why so little about his father? His father was a criminal, and those "envelopes stuffed with cash" that gave him "seed money to begin his investment career" were the proceeds of crime. Ignoring the law was a pattern that he followed during the rest of his life. And it's been reported in many WP:RS, which is the way we decide in Wikipedia how important something is.

 * Sol was a compulsive high-stakes gambler and colorful New York nightclub patron. He was also New York's leading jewel fence, a convicted felon and pal to underworld figures such as Meyer Lansky and "Three Finger" Jimmy Aiello. The night before crime figure Joey Anastasia was rubbed out in the Park Sheraton barbershop in 1957, he and Sol were out on the town gambling together.


 * The next year, Sol was convicted on charges of buying and selling stolen jewelry and was sentenced to five to ten years in prison on each of two felony counts.

Undue content
At present a large segment of the article is based on single news cycle reporting on leaks from an internal investigation to Jewish Week (re-reported elsewhere). Introducing while this was breaking news was questionable - but 2.5 months later there is no additional coverage - clearly showing this is UNDUE, beyond the BLP concerns. reverts should be done with a clear editing rationale addressing the challenge to this questionable content.Icewhiz (talk) 18:27, 27 November 2018 (UTC)

Conviction for buying looted and illegally smuggled artifacts

John Cummings - You are quoting from the D.A. not the defense attorney and the D.A. is putting words in Steinhardt's mouth.

His attorney said Steinhardt was “pleased” the investigation was over, laying blame over what he called items’ “wrongfully taken by others.”

“Many of the dealers from whom Mr. Steinhardt bought these items made specific representations as to the dealers’ lawful title to the items, and to their alleged provenance,” the attorney, Andrew Levander, said in a statement to the Times. “To the extent these representations were false, Mr. Steinhardt has reserved his rights to seek recompense from the dealers involved.” RichardBond (talk) 14:25, 10 December 2021 (UTC)


 * You're quoting from Steinhardt's lawyer... pot meet kettle.
 * Where did Steinhardt get all that stolen property?
 * Uh yea they just fell off the back of a truck... $70 million in stolen art and artifacts? The guy was the number one tomb raider on the planet. It was $70 million for over just 180 artifacts in 2017. He was the number one broker of antiquities on the global black market. Now he is banned from the market, for life, and on top of that, he agreed to it (probably to avoid criminal charges). Remember when the USA invaded Iraq, they failed to protect a Baghdad museum containing hundreds of artifacts from around Iraq. Saddam Hussein was a big supporter of archaeological investigations. Well someone hit the main museum during the invasion, and cleaned it out. Guess who is the primary suspect in that heist?
 * "Steinhardt agreed to a “first-of-its-kind” lifetime ban from acquiring more antiquities, according to the district attorney’s office." https://www.forbes.com/sites/annakaplan/2021/12/06/billionaire-michael-steinhardt-surrenders-70-million-in-stolen-art-receives-first-ever-lifetime-ban-from-acquiring-antiquities/?sh=1c3cb18e1ba0 Easy9000 (talk) 01:12, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
