34-year-old
Goldman Sach high-yield trader, Tom Malafronte, managed to make $100mm ( while maintaining compliance with federal banking regulations).
As the
Wall Street Journal points out, Malafronte was able to amass $100mm in profits for Goldman in a matter of just 6 months trading high-yield issuances ranging from mining companies to Avon. Apparently Malafronte went on a buying spree in January when high-yield prices dipped with sources telling the WSJ that he accounted for more than one-third of the daily trading volume of many issuances during that period.
