Stop the music!
Call me a party pooper, but this Steve Cohen-to-the-rescue angle comes stuck to a familiar, familial stench, the kind the Mets’ ownership regularly emits.
Is Steve Cohen a hedge fund boss or a hedgehog?
I don’t know. But having never paid a record $1.8 billion in fines for insider trading — I once was hit with a $65 parking ticket — I’m gonna guess that Cohen, the Mets’ savior-in-waiting, is the latter.
But for all I know, perhaps the fine was paid out of his company’s petty cash drawer. According to Forbes, Cohen in 2016 was worth 13 billion Bobby Bonillas.
