It’s becoming more clear that Fairfield Greenwich Group (FGG), not only didn’t do due dilligence on Madoff when they lost $7.5 billion, but their salesmen (i.e. Founder Walter Noel’s son-in-laws) weren’t vetted all that well either.  Last week a tipster told us of son-in-law Andrés Piedrahíta failing upward to partner at FGG.

And today a tipster tells us of Philip Toub, another one of Noel’s sons-in-law, and the firm’s agent with the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority investors.  He was a partner in Fairfield Greenwich Group, and is married to Alix Noel. He’s also an ex-bartender.  Below a photo of his “glory days” at a “Pimps and Hos” party. John Flanagan (a “big party promoter” according to our tipster) is standing next to him.

Phil, as I’m sure you know, was a bartender before becoming a full partner of FGG. Attached is a picture from those days, from a “Pimps and Ho’s” party. Next to him is John Flanagan, a big party promoter.

I wish to remain anonymous.

UPDATE: Another tipster writes…

and an ex-valet parker in LA whilst he was trying to “act”. married alix and was quickly set up in family biz.

And your surprise is???

You just had to be willing to marry one of the “pony” girls, let her follow grandma’s ideas about “eating apples through a chicken wire fence,” and bingo, you were set for life!

Nothing ever said about having brains! Just look at all the DD the partners did!
