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.
