LOL, which apartment building on Wall Street is he high in, 63, 67?

Perhaps 40 Wall:

Penny Stocks
The investment adviser accused of a Ponzi-like scheme this year was John Bivona. The SEC claims he steered client money to a nephew who had been barred from the industry, another 17th-floor tenant. Both have denied wrongdoing. The lawyer charged with stealing from his customers was Luigi Rosabianca, whose victims allegedly include a woman suffering from schizophrenia.

Current executives at 40 Wall St. include a 29-year-old who made millions of dollars lending money to penny-stock companies. A financier fighting criminal fraud charges is on the 38th floor. On the 28th, where offices can be rented for $10 an hour, cash-advance firm Viceroy Capital Funding is run by a man awaiting sentencing for his role in a marijuana-smuggling ring.

At one point in 2010, according to regulators, brokers on the 34th floor were allegedly helping the financier on the 38th with a penny-stock scam; a brokerage on the 17th floor was involved in an unrelated fraud; and a bond-trading firm on the 42nd floor was bribing a Venezuelan official to win business.



You cannot miss 40 Wall from a distance due to its iconic rooftop. I used to live about four blocks from there. I may have been intoxicated on Wall Street, but I don't think I was ever "high".
