that he’ll be putting his weight behind someone else, two-term Buffalo mayor Bob Sweeney (the great Matt Servitto of The Sopranos). At the start, it doesn’t look good for Chuck, as Foley tells Rhoades Sr. Much of the drama this week consists of discovering how Foley will use his power next. He’s also the guy who killed the Sandicot deal, as a favor for his old buddy Chuck Rhoades Sr. “The Kingmaker” refers to “Black” Jack Foley (David Strathairn), one of the wealthiest and most powerful men in New York, the kind of guy who can pull strings and create political leaders. Of course, if we know anything from Billions, it’s that neither of these positions of power will last for long. Eight episodes into the season, the fortunes have reversed: Axe is obsessed with figuring out how the Sandicot deal fell apart, while Chuck seems bound to be the next governor of New York. At the start of season two, Axe was undeniably up, rebuilding Axe Capital and moving forward, while Chuck was undeniably down, about to lose his job under the weight of dozens of lawsuits.
Since the show’s inception, the central arc of Billions has focused on alternating power between Chuck Rhoades (Paul Giamatti) and Bobby “Axe” Axelrod (Damian Lewis): When one is up, the other is usually down. It's also hired James Wheatcrof, a small and mid-cap equities analyst (travel and leisure) from Jefferies.Photo: Jeff Neumann/Jeff Neumann/SHOWTIME Citigroup has recruited Didier Sarpong, a former FX salesman who has escaped Barclays' investment bank. Notably, however, Goldman has also shifted two New York-based bankers (Thomas Munk and Jonathan Stevens) to London, and has moved one agricultural trader (Kay Wee Tan) from Singapore, suggesting internal 'talent migration' is still a thing.ĭespite it being August, there's also been a bit of hiring elsewhere. Is this indicative of a new trend in which Goldman hires talent in from external sources (as opposed to growing it internally)? The bank declined to comment. In the past few months, it's also hired Paul Coles, an ex-Deutsche Bank and Lehman Brothers special situations banker and Jonathan Stevens, an oil trader from Morgan Stanley. They include Jan Janssen, a former director in BAML's real estate team, Usman Naeem, a former vice president in BAML's equity derivatives team, and Pushkar Jha, a former associate on BAML's rates trading desk.īank of America hasn't been Goldman's only hunting ground. Two hires don't make a torrent, but Goldman's also hired a few other BAML bankers this summer. Goldman has also hired Lawrence Hume, an equity derivatives trader who left BAML after two years in July. The Financial Conduct Authority register reveals that Goldman has brought in Roger Clark, a futures and options salesman who spent over a decade at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Now it looks a little like Goldman Sachs might be getting its own back: it's been hiring a few people from Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAML). When you left Goldman, BofA was the place to go. Ex-Goldmanite Thomas Montag hired in people like Sanaz Zaimi and William Roberts. There was a time, not long ago, when a lot of the jobs at Bank of America seemed to be going to ex-Goldman bankers.
