Senior Tommy Balcetis worked as an intern with the NBA last summer and found his experience more rewarding than many of his friend’s.“Everybody wants to get into I-banking and consulting,” he said. “If people love it, more power to them...

The Lebanese press has published unsubstantiated reports that his enterprise collapsed when a check he wrote to a senior Hizballah official bounced and that, as a result, the financier went into hiding until Hizballah security forces found him and turned him over to the government...
