DailyBail readers, one and all, at the Milken character rejuvenation boon-doggle in Santa Monica, aka MGC...just for a reminder of what Michael and his brother Lowell Milken are really about (slime), re-read Den of Thieves. I'm sure the destruction of his employer (Drexel), years in prison, a $600mil fine (which apparently did not dent his net worth) and prostate cancer made ole Mike a better man.

One more bit re: MGC. A frat bro of mine who is a bigwig at Caesars attended the MGC a few years back as a guest of Leon Black (whose LBO firm Apollo owns majority of Caesars). He said the invite-only dinner and after party is where the action really gets going. Think some of the richest men in the world, mostly Jews, chasing LA hookers around the Beverly Hilton...you stay classy, MGC...

I lived and worked in Santa Monica in the late 90s, early 2000s, and the Milken building was just a few blocks from my apartment. And I knew people at Drexel Burnham before it went under. You know, back when investment banks were allowed to fail. The good old days.
