The 38-year-old investment whiz, who headed his own arbitrage firm, reportedly earned up to $25 million a year but sometimes wore leather pants and hockey jerseys to the office. His acquaintances ranged from former Treasury Secretary and White House Chief of Staff Donald Regan to Rock Star Bruce Springsteen, who lives near Mulheren in Rumson, N.J.
