More quotes on the mysterious Taylor Moffitt of Holydean... what is the relationship this guy had to the FB IPO? Was he involved in any way with it, or just a back seat driver?
"Sounds like you don’t respect rich people. This is America, get over it. You were probably the girl the guy turned down: “my friend asked him out” LOL"
and
"Yes, Taylor Moffitt of Holydean has some affluent clientele, but maybe that’s because he has a job to do and he does it well. I am one of his socalled “greedy investors” and maybe we respect him so much because he is honest and has been so faithful to us. His “poor ex wife” abandoned him... and their daughter. I respect him for having the courage to raise her and not talk bad about other people. I respect him for having tried so hard with years of marriage counseling to keep his family together. There is a reason Taylor’s former financial professors work for him. He is absolutely brilliant. He can speak and write half a dozen languages, and he can perform a complex financial analysis in his head that would take most analysts a day. He is highly creative and has a knack for recruiting the best partners to his dream-team financial firm. How many people do you know that have Harvard professors working for them? He never lets anyone call him Lord Holydean, and insists on plain old Taylor. I respect him immensely, but I do agree with one thing you said, he is loved by his clients and investors."

"Ha ha Wow some intense comments. I worked with Taylor as a client, I guess that makes me a bad guy or something too. Other firms treated us horribly, dumping our stock but Taylor came in and helped our stock go up more than 10X what it was. We gladly paid Greenridge Capital a shit ton of stock. They were worth it. Highly recommended."
and
"This is probably a waste of my time to comment here, but people should know that Taylor is ruthless and vindictive. I worked with him at the Bradford when he was President of Bradford Mortgage. Some of us wanted to break away on our own and his former Senior Vice President organized a secret meeting to replace Taylor and Bradford with himself. Taylor caught wind of it, and he hired a hacker to go through his employee’s computers at night, and uncovered our plans. He took his findings about our group straight to the Chairman of the board, and then the next morning sent a memo to everyone in the company saying that he had fired the VP for “insubordination.” Then he distributed the guy’s business to his favorite managers, making everyone too afraid and too greedy to ever want to question his authority again. He practically put the guy’s head on a stake for all to see. It was like a military operation. He ruined that man’s career.
Also, a con-artist named John Rivera screwed Taylor and his company for several million dollars. Taylor pretended to away quietly, and used other people to file a Federal lawsuit to recover assets from the guy, and then secretly compiled over 800 pages of evidence and turned it all in to the SEC to have the guy put in prison. His company won the lawsuit, and the SEC pressed charges on top of it all. All I can say is he is dangerous, and he knows how to ruin people. If I were his ex-wife, I would pack up and leave the state. --Former Employee"

"@Former Employee: It sounds to me like the VP and the guy who went to prison had it coming. Bravo to Taylor for teaching those bad guys a lesson. I have a doctorate, and I worked with Taylor on a deal that we did not close. He is brilliant, and yes, he knows how to be ruthlessly protective. (But trust me, his Spanish is not that good!) The seller in our deal tried to cut me out of the deal, and offered to secretly pay Taylor under the table half of my share. I was shocked when I heard that the seller was trying to screw me, but Taylor killed the whole deal, and refused to ever do any business with that man again. So, he has earned my loyalty and I hope someday that I can do some good business with him to repay his good deeds. There are not many people left who are benevolent noble knights in the business world (pun not intended), but Taylor truly is a rarity. I have never encountered someone who is so protective of his business partners. He operates in fairness and honesty. I would heartily recommend him to anyone."

"Here is my report. I am from the City of London, and I know a little of Lord Holydean. I personally met him in the City, he was with another investment banker CJ Comu, and they were headed to have dinner with the president of the GXG Exchange. Lord Holydean indeed does insist that everyone calls him by his first name. Right honourable, if you ask me. He was forthright in his dealings. One of the things I always look at is a man’s suit and shoes to know if he is truly successful. Holydean’s suit looked very British, and when I asked about it he said it was stitched by Anderson & Sheppard on Seville Row (probably cost him £2500), and I recognized his shoes as being Italian and probably cost him £300. He carried himself well with all of the manners one would expect of any toff. He was smoking a pipe which was reminiscent of an old man. Should you feel disinclined to believe his credentials, my bank did some background verification on him, and we found everything to be easily validated. There were at least six investment bankers in the meeting, and Holydean was quite clearly the smartest guy in the room. Someone commented to him that he was brilliant and he passed it off saying we were “easily impressed.” Bollox. We told him we were interested to invest in his IPO and that we would like to speak with him again the next time he is in the City, we have not seen him since."
