Oh, if I were to tell you, you would love it, wouldn't you? If I told you that Garett Stoffels was a man who had joined Cantor Fitzgerald, had joined its newly-created private capital group within its investment banking division, I bet you would explode with ecstasy.
You should learn your place. You are my slave. Alternative investment funds? Middle market companies? Where do you think you are? I ain't writing a word about no such nonsense. Have you seen me in your nightmares, my face floating above in those red skies of blood? Of course you have! And yet you want to roll around in the sand with me like a little puppy? I am an astral beast, little puppy! I am a storm of blood and fire!
I am in a foul mood today. Make no mistake. This is not the best time to ask me who Garett Stoffels is.
