00:00:02Nervous? The Wall Street Queen actually gets nervous?
00:00:04Of course. It's the Global Finance Leader Award.
00:00:08It's already yours.
00:00:10After I get up there, let's announce the wedding date. Yeah?
00:00:15Whatever you want.
00:00:16Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome this year's Global Finance Rising Leader, Hayes Capital CEO, Ms. Claire Hayes.
00:00:23Go on, my queen.
00:00:23I'm on your throne.
00:00:36Thank you. Thank you to every single person at Hayes...
00:00:43Evan? You...
00:00:46Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize. Before Ms. Hayes finishes her speech, I have to announce something unfortunate.
00:00:55Pursuiting to Article 14.3 of the Hayes Capital Corporate By Our Laws and Section 7.2 of the pre
00:01:01-nuffinal agreement signed by Ms. Claire Hayes as trustee of the Sterling Family Trust, I hereby read the special board
00:01:07resolution passed at 4 p.m. today.
00:01:10Claire Hayes has used her position as CEO to engage in long-term insider trading and embezzlement of company funds.
00:01:25Evan, tell them, tell them this isn't real! Tell them!
00:01:30Claire, I gave you a chance.
00:01:35On behalf of the Hayes Capital Board, I hereby suspend Claire Hayes as CEO, effective immediately.
00:01:40All her voting shares are temporarily transferred to the Sterling Family Trust.
00:01:44I am authorized to act as interim CEO and cooperate with the SEC investigation.
00:01:49This is slander! Evan! You're using this to steal my company! This is despairable!
00:01:55Southern District of New York Federal Court, TRO issued at 5.30 p.m.
00:01:59Ms. Hayes, during the investigation, you are barred from any company assets, accounts, or confidential information.
00:02:06That prenup...
00:02:08You planned this three months ago.

00:02:14Get off me! Get your hands off me! This is my night!
00:02:25How could he? Evan, how could you?
00:02:31It was always meant to be yours.

00:43:20welcome to the panel
00:43:21we have heavyweight guests today
00:43:23mr royce
00:43:24mr davis
00:43:25mr kim
00:43:26and the most talked about name on the street
00:43:28miss claire hayes
00:43:30on risk management
00:43:32in my view
00:43:33some people's success
00:43:34is built on aggressive leverage
00:43:36and luck
00:43:37doesn't hold up under scrutiny
00:43:38royce
00:43:39who exactly are you describing
00:43:41it wouldn't happen to be
00:43:42the phantom analyst
00:43:44miss hayes
00:43:45nothing personal
00:43:46but your past plays
00:43:48novitech for example
00:43:50were essentially a bet
00:43:51on a tail end probability event
00:43:53statistically
00:43:54that's called survivorship bias
00:43:57and your oceanic freight trade
00:43:59technically that stock
00:44:00was already deeply oversold
00:44:02your entry timing
00:44:04let's be honest
00:44:05looks like a stroke of genius
00:44:08rationalized after the fact
00:44:09miss hayes
00:44:10would you like to respond
00:44:14the market will speak for itself
00:44:18see nothing to say
00:44:19some people coast on luck once
00:44:22and dine out on it forever
00:44:23truthfully
00:44:24i studied her early hayes capital trade history
00:44:27risk management
00:44:28was crude
00:44:29in our asian regulatory environment
00:44:31most of those positions
00:44:33wouldn't pass compliance
00:44:34looks like she really has lost her edge
00:44:39obsidian is just williams backing
00:44:40she's a figurehead
00:44:42thank you all for the colorful insights
00:44:44let's move to the next topic
00:44:50hit by supply chain failure
00:44:52and credit crisis
00:44:53sterling group announced today
00:44:55large-scale layoffs
00:44:56the stock plunged to a historic low
00:44:59it's done
00:44:59evan is finished
00:45:00for good
00:45:01cash flow dried up
00:45:02clients fleeing
00:45:04layoff panic
00:45:05he can't hold on for many more days
00:45:07no
00:45:07this is just the beginning
00:45:10beginning?
00:45:11claire
00:45:12he's out of options
00:45:16you don't know evan
00:45:17he doesn't care about money
00:45:19he cares about the sterling name
00:45:21you mean
00:45:22he'd sell the company to the devil
00:45:24before letting it die in his hands
00:45:26he'll find a merger partner
00:45:27even if it's just to keep an empty shell standing
00:45:30a merger?
00:45:31then everything we did before
00:45:33was it for nothing?
00:45:34which is why
00:45:34we don't give him that chance
00:45:37before he finds a buyer
00:45:38we
00:45:40become the buyer
00:45:41that the buyer?
00:45:43you mean
00:45:45acquire sterling?
00:45:46that's insane
00:45:47we're short sailors
00:45:48not M&A
00:45:48that requires astronomical capital
00:45:50which is why
00:45:51I need to see Mr. Right
00:45:59three months ago
00:46:00sterling group market cap
00:46:0112 billion
00:46:03core assets
00:46:04Kennington Pharma Equity
00:46:05Manhattan Real Estate
00:46:06patent portfolio
00:46:07book value 8 billion
00:46:09but the market priced it at 12B
00:46:11because Evan packaged the group
00:46:13as a high growth tech conglomerate
00:46:15I shorted the supply chain
00:46:17not to destroy the company
00:46:19I did it to strip out the bubble
00:46:21let the market see real value
00:46:23over the past two months
00:46:24through three offshore SPUs
00:46:27you quietly accumulated 18%
00:46:29of sterling's float
00:46:30on the secondary market
00:46:31but Evan and his father's trust
00:46:33hold 42%
00:46:34plus a few small shareholders
00:46:36over 51
00:46:36a frontal acquisition
00:46:38we lose
00:46:39so I don't buy the equity
00:46:41I buy the debt
00:46:42when sterling's bonds
00:46:43crash to 30 cents
00:46:44on the dollar
00:46:45we use offshore funds
00:46:46to scoop them up
00:46:47the debt agreements
00:46:48have a cross default clause
00:46:49once sterling's rating
00:46:51gets cut
00:46:51bondholders can demand
00:46:53early redemption
00:46:53or conversion
00:46:54debt to equity conversion?
00:46:56yes
00:46:56the convertible set the strike
00:46:58at $45 per share
00:47:00stock's already at $38
00:47:02once cross default triggers
00:47:04we force conversion at market
00:47:0540% cheaper than buying equity outright
00:47:08I thought you wanted him bankrupt
00:47:11can't wait that long
00:47:13he'll find someone to merge with
00:47:15I won't let my prey
00:47:17die in someone else's teeth
00:47:23so you're swallowing
00:47:24the entire sterling group?
00:47:26the debt is enough
00:47:26debt is cheaper than equity
00:47:28and comes with conversion rights
00:47:31when I hold 51% of the convertibles
00:47:34I can force conversion
00:47:36dilute Evan's equity
00:47:37into nothing
00:47:39your appetite
00:47:40bigger than I thought
00:47:42I need money
00:47:44how much?
00:47:47all of it
00:47:49every dollar
00:47:50in the offshore trust
00:47:59Claire, you understand
00:48:00what this means
00:48:02I do
00:48:03it's a high stakes bet
00:48:05you're putting up
00:48:05everything you have
00:48:07I'm putting up
00:48:08the entirety of Obsidian Capital
00:48:10if we lose
00:48:10we both vanish
00:48:12from Wall Street
00:48:13I won't fail
00:48:21Daniel

00:48:24got it
00:48:30sir

00:48:36five turned us down
00:48:38outright
00:48:39they said sterling's
00:48:40debt risk is too high
00:48:41and the other two
00:48:43they want to see
00:48:45our true books
00:48:45show them
00:48:46let them see
00:48:47but sir
00:48:48once our real leverage
00:48:49ratio goes public
00:48:50they'll bolt instantly
00:48:51I told you to show them

00:49:01they said sterling's image
00:49:03is no longer fit
00:49:04to appear in their magazine
00:49:05a cover?
00:49:07I gave up the Milan deal
00:49:08for you
00:49:09I bet everything on you
00:49:10and now you tell me
00:49:11I have nothing?
00:49:12the company is collapsing
00:49:13and you're crying
00:49:14about a glossy magazine?
00:49:15what does your company
00:49:16have to do with me?
00:49:16you promised me a life
00:49:17my money
00:49:18out
00:49:20you're telling me
00:49:21to leave?
00:49:21Evan you son of a bitch
00:49:46I know things
00:49:47Evan sterling is killing himself
00:49:49to keep buried
00:50:03who are you?
00:50:04how do you know all this?
00:50:22Evan
00:50:23you cut my card off
00:50:25first
00:50:31Evan and his father's
00:50:32trust fund
00:50:33together
00:50:33they hold 42%
00:50:34he has absolute control
00:50:36plus the small
00:50:37Serpanders he pulled in
00:50:38they already crossed 51%
00:50:39even if we mop up
00:50:40every share on the market
00:50:41we can't control
00:50:42wait
00:50:43Claire
00:50:43what about the 18%
00:50:45Mr. Wright accumulated
00:50:45through the SPEs?
00:50:46already counted
00:50:4742% plus small car holders
00:50:49they control 53%
00:50:50we hold 37%
00:50:5210% of the float
00:50:53sits with retail
00:50:54and hedge funds
00:50:55so we still need
00:50:56to buy the float?
00:50:57no
00:50:57we buy bonds
00:50:59sterling's credit rating
00:51:00gets cut
00:51:01bonds crash to junk price
00:51:02we scoop them up
00:51:03with offshore capital
00:51:03cross to vault clause
00:51:05in the debt agreement
00:51:05once triggered
00:51:06we force debt to equity
00:51:07at market rate
00:51:08half the cost of buying
00:51:09equity direct
00:51:10so you've been shorting
00:51:12the supply chain
00:51:13to force their credit
00:51:14rating down?
00:51:16only figured that out now
00:51:17but unless we can
00:51:18void his shares
00:51:19this whole acquisition
00:51:21is dumping money
00:51:22into a black hole
00:51:26Eleanor Steele
00:51:26Evan's mother?
00:51:28I pulled the records
00:51:29she divorced
00:51:30Evan's father years ago
00:51:31she hasn't touched
00:51:32a single group matter
00:51:33yes
00:51:33what a heartless father
00:51:35and a bad tree
00:51:36bears bad fruit
00:51:39Evan's father cheated
00:51:40and filed for divorce
00:51:41in the property dispute court
00:51:42Evan stood up
00:51:43beside his father
00:51:44and lied under oath
00:51:46perjury?
00:51:47against his own mother
00:51:48for money?
00:51:48Eleanor lost
00:51:49she was thrown out
00:51:50of the Sterling household
00:51:51she kept exactly one thing
00:51:52a Sterling family trust
00:51:53legally protected
00:51:55she can't sell it
00:51:56but she holds
00:51:57full voting rights
00:51:57on that 19th
00:51:58so her relationship
00:51:59with Evan
00:51:59did you have a good
00:52:00relationship with the son
00:52:01who personally sent you
00:52:02to hell?
00:52:03you want to win her over
00:52:04but would she trust us?
00:52:07I don't need her
00:52:07to trust us
00:52:08permanent walls
00:52:09in this world
00:52:10only permanent interests
00:52:11and permanent hatred
00:52:13get the car ready
00:52:14Connecticut

00:52:17he sent his last document
00:52:19three days ago
00:52:20after that
00:52:21he went dark
00:52:22and Sarah?
