Former Occupier now an Analyst at a Chop Shop (JTM)
UPDATED: Apparently, thanks to the good souls at WSO, now we can confirm that this former OWS'ER has something in common with Shia LeBeouf. If you recall, John Thomas Financial got quite a stir going when it was revealed that Shia had shadowed a couple of these guys, and then began pumping one of their holdings (InterOil) in the media leading up to Wall Street 2. Now they're playing the press (and myself I guess) to get some attention as they now have an OWS'er covering the healthcare industry. Fittingly, I've changed the title to better fit what JTM is. Plus it's even more hilarious that way.
Former Occupy Wall Street Activist now has job as an ER analyst. She's a PhD in biomedical science, so naturally they have her reviewing healthcare companies.

"Postert said the decision to accept was painful." - Yeah, much more painful than sleeping in the cold. Wow.

Talk about innovative networking.....
Oh yeah, she looks like she's really suffering there. Dumb bitch. Any of them would take the money and forget about the "movement" without looking back.
Have you seen the company's site? Looks like a chop shop lol

I love how this guy thinks he's the face of Wall Street. Instead of acting like he's some banker-ambassador, he should take his $3 million of inception-to-date deal volume and go back to his condo in Jersey.
I just applied :D
yeah everyone should go back to their condos in jersey :P
PS: Anyone wanna buy some Lean Cuisine coupons? I can hook you up. I got a bunch of $1 off 2 for 40 cents each (doubles at ShopRite Metro Plaza). Also, Yellowtail coupons for $1 off a 1.5L bottle- 50 cents each. I make about $500/day selling these outside the ShopRite, but I'm thinking about syndicating to Manhattan.
You New Yorkers are never going to retire if you don't focus on saving.
Holy shit the "Chief Economist" of that firm is Mike Norman...he is a total whack job. He was on the wrong end of the "Peter Schiff was Right" videos and now seems to be obsessed in slandering Schiff. Check it:

Isn't that bald guy the asshole from Wall Street 2 (aka the greatest movie of all time)?
Yes it is, definitely a chop shop.

That bald guy looks like the guy from the Shia Lebouf Wall Street movie.
^^IMDB shows that it is the same guy

When your Chief Economist is one of the Ed Hardy Boys, you're doing it wrong:

Did you watch the video? The CEO sounds like someone from the Jersey Shore (or the Persian equivalent)- he obviously doen't know the Constitution very well as he misquoted it too. Not to mention I was waiting for him to declare war on Sparta
You guys are awesome. Updated title to capture the hilarity.
JTM short for J.T Marlin? Coincidence?
I don't want to work for a guy who said Google was a bubble
The starting salary as a junior analyst is near minimum wage, but in time, she can earn a cool six figures, assured Kaufman. Postert’s…already studying for her exams to be a certified financial analyst. “I want to get a perfect score,” she said. CEO Thomas Belesis said he believes Postert will be a great asset. “She was ranting about Wall Street, and now she’s working on Wall Street. Banks are not so bad. I hope we have opened her eyes,” he said. Life has definitely changed for the former Occupier. She’s in the office by 8 a.m., and she still has to get used to Kaufman’s rallying cry of “Go! Go! Go!” blaring over the speakers in the morning.
MINIMUMFUCKINGWAGE?
With a PhD too...would hate to be her.
Posting in an epic thread
Can someone photoshop some nose rings and chains on him and shit?
i tried
Hahahahah. SB coming up.
Nightmare fuel
Really, you guys need to warn me before I look at shit like this at work. I have to disguise my hysterical laughing as a bad coughing attack. It's not very believable.
Also, they have a youtube channel with all of the CEO's TV appearances. How can anyone take him seriously? No wonder he only appears on FBN.

Stop making fun of my firm. I love working there. I make decent enough money, and I get to speak with people all over the world. You guys really dont know what you're talking about.
This reminds me of Emperor Palpatine doing a stand-in for Pope Benedict on the Wikipedia page.

[quote=TonyPerkis]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Belesis[/quote] From the wikipedia article: In 2009, he was presented with the Bronx GOP “Man of the Year” award by Rudolph Giuliani, who commented on his rise "from humble beginnings to become a great success on Wall Street" and his role in providing jobs to young people on Wall Street.
I don't even...
