“He’s a flashy embodiment of capitalism: he’s got the cars, the mansions, the society page mentions, the trophy wives, divorces and the enormous art collection to either make him a champion or chump, depending on your perspective.”

If you’re Brown University, it’s champion! DUH! If this isn’t the perfect description of the perfect university trustee, UD doesn’t know what is!

This Business Week writer turns a bit dour toward the end of his article about Brown University’s highest-profile trustee:

Markets are moody. No matter how smart you are you’re going to make mistakes. And that’s why [Steven A.] Cohen looks suspicious. While it’s certainly possible for someone to produce a 30% or better annual return for 18 consecutive years through smarts, it’s not likely.

Cohen has been subpoenaed.

***************************

After five years of being chased like Al Capone, an immunized Cohen might finally be able to stop looking over his shoulder.

Yes, time for him to devote more time to sharing his gravitas with Brown University.
