“Canada” Bill Jones is probably the greatest three-card monte player of all time.  Legendary riverboat gambler George Devol said of him, “He loved gambling for its own sake, just as the moralists love virtue for its own sake.” Jones was reincarnated sometime in the second half of the twentieth century. He went to college and graduate school on the east coast and then proceeded to work at a number of sell-side firms, where he held positions in banking, research, and sales. When asked how he felt about joining Bud Fox News, he quoted British politician Benjamin Disraeli, “I have climbed to the top of the greasy pole.”

Sir Jams Fishpaste is the libelous name bestowed by satirical magazine Private Eye on James Goldsmith, the Anglo-French billionaire corporate raider.  A lady’s man to rival J.P.
