Brian Lin, Handsome Asian American Wall Street Dude

This New York Times article introduces us to handsome asian american guy, Brian Lin. He now works for RRMS Advisors as a consultant on bad mortgages, but previously he was at Merrill Lynch. Here's an excerpt from the article.

Mr. Lin, the former Merrill trader, arrived late to the party. He was one of the last people hired onto Merrill’s mortgage desk, in the summer of 2007. Even then, Merrill guaranteed Mr. Lin a bonus if he joined the firm. Mr. Lin would not disclose his bonus, but such payouts were often in the seven figures.

Mr. Lin said he quickly noticed that traders across Wall Street were reluctant to admit what now seems so obvious: Their mortgage investments were worth far less than they had thought.

“It’s always human nature,” said Mr. Lin, who lost his job at Merrill last summer and now works at RRMS Advisors, a consulting firm that advises investors in troubled mortgage investments. “You want to pull for the market to do well because you’re vested.”
Well Brian, this NYTimes photo of you on the phone in your suit and tie sure captures your handsome looks and beautiful side profile. Let us know more about you!
