So how’s this for a good round of some bullshit?
I’ve spent the last two years in “Club Med” federal prison, thanking my accountant for his wicked ability to spread money in various accounts across the world (the Cayman Islands are nice), but now I’m BACK BABY!
This means we’re going to go right back to gettin down to dot biz. I mean, seriously, it’s been way too long. And this botox and cucumber facial scrub ain’t gonna pay for itself. Today, I’ve realized that many of my most successful friends shared a lot of tips for me that helped keep me from getting ass raped in the joint. But let’s be real, I was still drinking champagne and had my feet up near a tennis court with a guy that would occasionally walk by and ask me if I needed a fresh silk handkerchief or some sunscreen. And it wasn’t Dom, but you can’t have everything, right? Especially if you’re an “insider.” Trust me, I’m insider.
That was humor. But I digress.
Tip One: Buddy up with the cook, or even better hire a personal chef.
When you’re in prison, let’s face it, you’re not going to have much to do but eat and talk about stock swaps or hostile takeovers. And now that I’m out of prison, those hostile takeovers are going to be a lot more literal – as in I’m going to takeover some ass in a truly maniacal way. But besides my suddenly raging libido, there isn’t much to do. Which means you’ve gotta eat in style. At first, they’re not going to give you perks like a personal chef.
Bribery gets you everywhere eventually.
I recall when I was out with Raul, a guy that was in for embezzlement from a major insurance company. We were actually out on the equestrian course, which had been perfectly manicured by another guy that was probably also named Raul, when he started bringing up lobster bisque.
If you’re like me, you’re writing checks, not engaging in fellatio. I mean, you can engage in fellatio if that’s what you’re into. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, as I’m sure Mitzi would attest.
Tip Two: Pick up a new sport.
Equestrian is a good activity, but trust me, you’re not going to get with any hot prison guards if you smell like horse shit all the time. You want your sport to be non-committal as possible, so you’re not working up a sweat and your $4,000 cologne still is clearly noticeable regardless of your effort level. Chess is a good sport and we can’t let the Russians be the best at anything. Bocce ball can be a good alternative if you feel like meeting some interesting mobsters. But the best thing is badminton, especially if you’ve got a good partner. You can pretty much just stand there with minimal movement. I often played with a cocktail near sunset, overlooking the beautiful sky near the mountains. It was pretty good.
Tip Three: What the fuck is insider trading anyway?
Look, this isn’t really a tip but let me tell you, all trading is done inside. I tried to explain that to the asshole feds that arrested me, but they weren’t buying it. The stock market isn’t like the Arabian bazaar from Aladdin or something. There were no camels nearby. They’ve got electricity. COM-FUCKING-PUTERS. That shit needs wall sockets. It’s all inside.
Everything is an inside deal because when you’re like me, you’ve got all the money and all the connections you’ll ever need. I pick up the phone and Warren Buffet tells me which Fortune 500 CEO is blowing another one and needs to sell shit quickly before word gets out to his wife and she takes half his shit in divorce court.
Tip Four: Benefit from everyone else’s misery and debauchery.
Enough said.
Tip Five: Prison isn’t bad enough for you to keep it legal.
Come on man, you’re probably thinking that it’s gonna be like Cops. But you saw that sketch on Chappelle’s Show and you got a little worried. Trust me, there’s nothing to be worried about.
Insider trading isn’t even really a crime anyway. People want to hold up my criminal record and I’ll just hold up my portfolio and resume before I smack them in the face and write a check to avoid the assault charges.
So if you’re headed in, put your feet up, enjoy a couple of years of relaxation, and come back ready to get back to business. It’s easy, take it from me!
