Oh yes you did. I am sure Dale has his own stories or run-ins with that teenage pumper or frontrunner. My most vivid memory besides the verbal exchanges between Lebed and Tokyo Joe and others involved a tiny staffing company (FAMH). The founder and CEO (Ira Monas) actually hired Lebed to put a makeshift kiosk on Wall Street promoting the company and Lebed called it a "smoke-in" where cigars and other stuff were given out. The thread is still on SI but in a nutshell…..Ira Monas landed in jail for SEC violations and Lebed was kicked out to the curb…..I don't remember the details but he was one of if not the ultimate pumper/front runner back in the day on SI. I think he still has his own company and website somewhere doing the same old thing. Matter of fact….now I recall he was written up in Time magazine for his successes as a young trader…..ahem…… Now you have me going off on a tangent….! I actually had my own run-ins with Lebed here on SI but not to the degree others did like Tokyo Joe. I am sure there are some here who remember……sigh Jane
