    Criticizing Boomers is like shooting fish in a barrel, without the water. I used to take some delight in taking digs at them, but it's lost novelty over time.

    It's kinda just too easy.

    He is so right that the "Boomer generation" is stupid because our tax money is going to prosecute and put his ass in a cushy jail for stealing our hard-earned money.

    I want to go to a cushy jail for a couple of years. It's like the poor man's Betty Ford.

    @miss_msry: I beg to differ: the Boomer's CHILDREN are going to pay for everything plus Obamacare which amounts to early Medicaid for aging stoners.

    Once again the Dumbest Generation sticks it to the man!

    Real Boomers didn't propogate. Our Greatest Generation mothers will never stop bitching about it.

    SAD. As in "Sick Asian Deviant" (Jiang) and "Sensitive (Not) and Desperate" (Gawker, towards Tong). Appreciate latter acronym actually = SNAD, btw.

    OK, after reading the full complaint, it loses much of its yucks. Especially including the victim's face. I'd imagine Jiang chortling mightily at the heterosexual, married rape victim's face being propagated by a high-profile blog like Gawker. He and SAC's minions would approve, I'd imagine.
    I'll leave untouched the question of if he wasn't a male victim or an Asian one, would the victim's face be featured - Gawker's not prone to sexism or racism (to the contrary), so I think it's a slip-up unworthy of condemnation along these lines. And certainly, that wasn't Ryan Tate's aim.
    Nonetheless, GawkerFolk, respectfully, can you have a quick weekend email conference on this and decide if identifying the victim so graphically is a decision that characterizes what Gawker is about?
    It seems an incongruity to this humble commentator.

    I had some of the same misgivings.

    In any event, from the summary (I don't need more details), a horrific case and I sincerely hope the victim prevails.

    This kind of thing, and I mean sexual harassment, not the exact acts described, have been happening to women in the business and academic world since they were first able to fight their way in. Don't blame the victim - he was afraid to complain or quit because he was afraid of the overwhelming power of his boss to blackball him from the profession forever. Now the bugger will end up in jail - yaaayy! I wish that would've happened to my harasser years ago. At least he's dead now and I don't have to fear him anymore.

    So, is Gawker's policy to only publish the picture of the victim? Kind of fucked up.

    There are a lot of jokes here and it's really fucked up. This poor man was terrorized and sexually assaulted. Is it funny because he's Asian? Or is it because he's a man? Because no 'real' man would ever allow himself to be in this position, so Mr. Tong must be a figure of fun. And shame on Gawker for publishing the photo of an assault victim. Hasn't this man been violated enough?

    This is very depressing to me because it reminds me of a close Chinese American friend who was so hellbent on succeeding that when he failed he committed suicide by hanging himself rather than face the disappointment of his parents.

    I know you can't overgeneralize but I've seen extreme pressure to succeed among my Asian american friends.

    Now I'm wondering if this poor fellow put up with this abuse because he felt the job was his only opportunity to succeed. Hopefully he will sue the guilty party for every dime he's got.

    I worked with Ping back when we were both at Lehman and sure, he's a bit on the aggressive side (rumors of him giving anal, doing some S&M shit to a couple analysts were going around already then) but that's the way these firms are. Also you can't just believe everything the other guy says, he could of quit but didn't.

    On the plus side, Mr. Jiang offered to have Mr. Tong's suits pressed after each and every forced sexual encounter on the corporate account.

    PS: on a more serious note, is it standard to have sexual harassment victims pictured? I can see his boss' face blasted across the Internet, but seeing the victim's face makes me a bit queasy... Although, admittedly, I looked.

    @Trai_Dep: I was thinking the same thing as well. If this was a woman, I don't think the picture would have appeared here.

    And they were more than a victim of sexual harassment. From the description it sounds like they were sexually assaulted.

    I looked for a photo of Ping Jiang, but there's no way I'm going to put up one without being 100% certain of the guy's identity. Maybe Gawker should sponsor a photo contest in his honor.

    @squeakel:

    I believe that sexual harassment usually includes acts involving sexual assault. But I agree that the use of the term may have given the wrong impression of what happened.

    He should have suspected something when he was advised that appropriate "casual Friday" attire was a ball gag and leather hood.

    ". . . and forcibly urinated into his mouth."

    I guess at SAC Capital, the golden parachute comes with its own shower.
