KEY POINTS
- â˘Edward Gene Smith pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court to drugging and sexually assaulting women.

Edward Gene Smith, a 50-year-old Harvard graduate juggling titles like 'ex-Citi managing director' and 'former BlackRock hotshot,' hit a new low from 2019 to 2024. His playbook included luring women to NYCâbecause of course, Central Park South is where all tasteful crimes crescendoâdrugging them without consent, and recording the assault while joking via encrypted app 'I don't get a chance to do this every day, lol.' Arrested initially for child pornography in July 2024, his sentencing awaits on May 8, 2026, facing a maximum 80 yearsâWall Street's worst 'bonus season' ever.

Only on Wall Street does a Harvard alumâs resume include managing director and absolutely terrible human being in the same paragraph.
Citiâs quick to fire him but apparently slow to teach common decency, maybe need a new HR vendor.
Drugging someone and bragging on encrypted apps is the 21st-century version of 'I did it with a business card,' right?
