Poor bankers..this is how they suffered during Sandy.

“I had to go to the wine cellar and find a good bottle of wine and drink it before it goes bad,” Murry Stegelmann, 50, a founder of investment-management firm Kilimanjaro Advisors LLC, wrote in an e-mail after he lost power at 6 p.m. on Oct. 29 in Darien, Connecticut.

The bottle he chose, a 2005 Chateau Margaux, was given 98 points by wine critic Robert Parker and is on sale at the Westchester Wine Warehouse for $999.99.

snip:
The impact was less severe in Greenwich, Connecticut, where a 41-year-old hedge-fund manager played a family game of Monopoly on and off from lunchtime to 9:30 p.m. the day of the storm, the investor said, declining to give his name because of his fund’s media policy.

His 10-year-old twin sons and six-year-old daughter don’t enjoy playing with him because he refuses to trade properties and plays to win, he said. He beat them after putting a hotel on Park Place.



snip:
Morgan Stanley (MS) CEO James Gorman walked three miles to get from the firm’s Times Square office to his home in Manhattan.
(wow..had to walk, imagine that)
