Dan Kamensky knew what he had coming to him. Shortly after attempting to browbeat his investment bank into not outbidding him for something he’d fought for and wanted for his hedge fund, Marble Ridge Capital, he turned to pleading. “If you’re going to continue to tell them what you just told me, I’m going to jail, okay?” he said. “I’m asking you not to put me in jail.” Well, Kamensky’s begging proved no more successful than his bullying, and the Jefferies banker on the other end did continue to tell them what he had just told Kamensky, which was probably something along the lines of, “you appear to have breached your fiduciary duty to your fellow Neiman Marcus creditors, whom you represent as a member of the creditors committee, but trying to keep them from getting that extra 10 cents a share you’d prefer Marble Ridge not have to pay.”
