How are you, Bobby?
Hey, Garth.Ken.
I'd call you "Sir Ken" out of respect for your advanced age and your accomplishments, but, as much as you'd like it, you were born in Chicago, and no one born there was ever knighted.
He would like it if we called him "Sir". He is that type. You are that type, Ken.
And then what would we call you, Axe?
Oh, hell, Kenny, call me whatever the fuck you want. Or better, don't ever call me. You know the reason why you should never call me? Because you're a poacher, Ken, and guys like Garth and me, we do not like poachers.
Come drag a deer off my land, see what the fuck happens to you.
Well, now that you've joined us, let me ask you... How you doing?
I'm gonna let you in on something here, Garth. Hedge fund guys only ask that question when they know the other guy is running bad, which he thinks because you are sitting with him.
Oh, we're just catching up.
And you still haven't answered.
It's a "crush the other guy" business. It's like "Highlander"... there can be only one. I don't blame you, Ken. I'd do the same thing. But I'm up 32% this year, which, from what I know of your run-and-hide approach, is 30 points better than what you are at Vista Verde.
Well, you can call it what you want, but I call it "careful." Risk-averse. When I opened my fund,
I was very aware of the responsibility that people like Garth put in my hands, which is why I hedge my investments. I protect the downside. I may not be a rock star, but I'm still plugging away, all these many years later.
Have fun with your plugger.
Can we step away for a sec? I love talking to you, Axe, and you made us a shit ton of money, but...
I need to keep things nice and comfy. Results and optics. My job's to spot the fund manager,
taking his eye off the ball before he strikes out. That's what my members count on. And they see someone like Kenneth, dry ass that he is, as solid. Part of the firmament. Sometimes that's important.
I hear you. And I know you hated the headline in the newspaper. Do what you have to do. But I hope that in the days to come, you see me as part of that firmament. I think you will.

You've all seen the evidence we've gathered regarding your Railroad trades. If we prevail at trial, which we're confident we will, the federal sentencing guidelines call for you to serve 11 years.
We understand that you have young children. Well, maybe they'll be out of college by the time you're released. Maybe you can make it to their weddings.
But like we told your lawyers, we're willing to forgo that for a quick plea... an admission of guilt, a forfeiture money judgment of $386 million.
As well as the voluntary shuttering of your fund and conversion of it to a family office. You'll no longer handle any outside money. I can get the S.E.C. in here right now to do that if you don't agree. So, settlement or trial?
We're prepared to fight this for as long as we...
I... came here today to take a deal. I don't want to go to jail.
Wise choice, Mr. Birch. Stay in the light. You won't be getting a chance like this again.
This doesn't have to be over.
I'm actually relieved we settled.
Comfortable?
For the first time all fucking day.
Well, I have someone coming in here soon, and they might be a little freaked to see their boss...
I just came by to say "thank you" and "sorry"... two words I don't say very often.
So it's handled with Victor?
You nailed it... on every count. And he got paid.
I used everything I knew about him to make him capitulate.
That's why I asked you to go.
You know why I went? For you. You and I... we've never let each other down in all these years. And I wasn't about to start because you acted like that never happened. Cut me out again... And I'm gone.
I know. I won't.
