Not that I doubt your original story
but this isn't a receipt from a bill run up by a City brokerage firm. This was posted on Twitter by a writer from Sports Illustrated:

So, unless you have some special knowledge of where this receipt came from that the rest of the internet lack, I call bullshit. Especially given that it's reportedly photoshopped anyway.

I was told it was from a city brokerage firm, the chain of emails I got it on originated from mf global, so presumed it was from there. Either way the Ibiza spend happened.

yuck
MF Global - used to work there.

Massive bunch of cunts.

And
I always trusted email chains. I feel so foolish :-(

But your original story could easily be true. 10 - 20 people over 4 days could easily spend that much, especially if it's not coming out of their own pockets.

And there are wankers and decent people in the City, same as there are wankers and decent people in every industry. The difference being that most wankers working at Tesco don't have enough money for Ferrarris and expensive hookers, so don't attract the same level of vitriolic hatred we save for those we don't like and who earn more than us...

Oi,
It wasn't my story.

I
know and blame my injudicious selection of "reply" button.

Must have the seven jeroboams of Grey Goose I had last night.
