@modernhomesla Note that Geffen took his yacht to the Google convention first. He took
Katy Perry
Orlando Bloom
to the Google Camp on the yacht.

Because that's normal. It's an UberYacht.

@modernhomesla Karlie and Josh had two wedding celebrations! The second was a "small" party in Wyoming.

DASHA Zhukov (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dasha_Zhu…) Oligarch Abramovich's wife, attended, of course.

@modernhomesla David Geffen lied to get a job in a talent agency's mail room. Within 8 years he had $10m and had sold his first record company.
Totally normal.
"maverick methods." 🧐

@modernhomesla David Geffen is openly gay and has a thing for young men.

He dated a 22 year old man for 6 years before breaking up. (41 years age difference)

@modernhomesla 2006: David Geffen sells 2 art pieces ($140m total.)
$80m to Kenneth Griffin
$63.5m to Steven Cohen
ART 📌

@modernhomesla Kenneth Griffin (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_C…) endorsed Rubio for 2016, gave Harvard its largest donation EVAR. He likes buying art from Geffen. He's given Geffen $580m so far for art.
He wants to deregulate all the things.
"Drown the government in a bathtub" kind of guy.

@modernhomesla Steven A Cohen (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_A.…) hedge fund guy.
Insider trading scandal! 😱
His first wife sued him for racketeering and insider trading.
2006: most expensive art purchase EVAR: Picasso from Steve Wynn $139m. Wynn ripped it, then Cohen paid $150m. ? Wut?

@modernhomesla This feels incestuous to me. So much money around and around in a circle. Why pay MORE for a ripped painting? Did Wynn's elbow add value somehow?

@modernhomesla Steve Cohen's hedge fund, Point72 (no space) hired Peter Thiel's Palantir to ensure Steve's new company followed SEC laws.
WHAT.
IS GOING ON.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point72_A…

@modernhomesla This headline made me laugh. But seriously.. Palantir is monitoring Point72 emails, phones, etc.
To, uh, ensure compliance.
And "ex" employees of CIA, FBI, DHS, SEC are "reviewing" them.

@modernhomesla WHO are the Point72 clients? Originally Point72 was fully funded by Cohen himself. Since 2018, he's had a few funding rounds.
OH look what he specializes in 📌⏬

@modernhomesla Cohen likes what he sees in China, but doesn't like the risk of govt seizing assets.
"Cohen said he raised $5 billion from outside clients ... that it was easy to gather money. He said he took only 10 to 15 meetings, including one overseas trip."

@modernhomesla Point72 is sued for being sleazy.
Q'uel suprise.
