COI and Advertisement Tags

After trimming a lot of excessive and unreferenced material, I think we can remove the Advertisement tag. In addition, the COI activity is from 2010, not sure if any of that material remains at this point. Thoughts? BelBivDov (talk) 01:40, 6 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request edits to Intro, Early Life and Career sections

Hello. I work for Glenn Dubin and I would like to request updates and corrections on his Wikipedia biography page. My requests are as follows:

  1. In the introduction please:
    • Change 'is a billionaire hedge fund manager and former Principal of Dubin & Co. LP,' to 'is a billionaire American businessman and the principal of Dubin & Co. LP,'. The current sentence is incorrect; Dubin is not a hedge fund manager, and he is currently the principal of Dubin & Co.
    • Please remove the last sentence: "In August 2019, unsealed documents revealed connections between Dubin and Jeffrey Epstein, including allegations of involvement in his child abuse ring." Having this in the lead gives "undue weight" to these allegations. In a long career spanning many decades, this story is a blip in his career history. In addition, according to WP:Recent, although these allegations may be currently newsworthy and unfortunately 'scandalous', the lead should include only information that is of long-term, historical significance. This information should be confined exclusively to the section of the article that discusses the allegations.
  2. In the early life section:
    • Please remove the word "Jewish" from the first line. It is mentioned later that Dubin's father was a "Russian Jew" and one mention of Dubin's ethnic roots is enough.
    • To the last line of this section please add the sentence and source: In 2012 Stony Brook awarded Dubin an honorary doctorate for his contributions to the field of finance.[1]
  3. In the Career section:
    • Please add the words and new sources: "for 1.3 billion.[2][3]" right after the sources that come after the words "a majority interest in Highbridge".
    • Please remove the last sentence of the third paragraph that comes right after the new words that you just added. After adding "for $1.3 billion" this sentence is now redundant.
    • In the next paragraph that begins "In July 2009," add the words "until 2013" right after "Highbridge's chief executive." and right before the full-stop and the source.
    • Remove the last two sentences and sources from this paragraph. The following sentences add unnecessary detail to the overall biography as well as adding no useful information pertaining to Dubin's career story. For clarity, remove the following: "By 2011, Dubin was sharing responsibilities for managing Highbridge with Todd Builione and Scott Kapnick. By 2013, Glenn Dubin had "handed control" of Highbridge to Scott Kapnick a former Goldman Sachs banker, but continued to work in the firm's New York offices."
    • Directly after the last paragraph that begins "In 2013," add this sentence and source: "Leadership of the company was transferred to former Engineers Gate President Greg Eisner.[4]"
    • Add the following new paragraph after the last paragraph: "In 2015, CCI acquired Morgan Stanley's Global Oil Merchanting business, creating one of the world's largest independent energy merchants.[5] Dubin was the non-executive chairman,[6] and remains a member of the board of directors and the firm’s lead shareholder.[7]
  4. I am requesting the merger of the Investments section into the Career section with some small changes. It is more logical for everything to be considered as part of Dubin's career.
    • Move the first sentence from the Investments section to the Career section as a new paragraph below the paragraph that begins "In 1992," and ends "for $1.3 billion".
    • Move the second sentence from the Investments section, leaving out some of the details, below the section that begins "In July 2009," and ends "until 2013.": "In 2012, Dubin, along with a group of global investors acquired Castleton Commodities International, LLC ("CCI"), (formerly Louis Dreyfus Highbridge Energy.)[8][9]

Thank you very much for all your help, AP for Dubin (talk) 13:59, 14 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@AP for Dubin: According to Manta, his wife is the Principal of Dubin & Co., LP. Manta link Do you have a reference that he is still a principal? --Funandtrvl (talk) 19:04, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
FINRA source, in addition to EF Hutton, he worked for Lehman Brothers, Audobon Securities and Highbridge, but does not currently hold a broker's license. Also had 1 customer complaint on 12/19/1989, that went to arbitration, and customer was awarded damages. --Funandtrvl (talk) 19:24, 29 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Funandtrvl. First of all, thanks for coming here to help. I hope the following answers your questions/concerns about my edit request.
  • The Manta page that says Glenn Dubin's wife is the principal is a mistake. She never played any role at Dubin & Co.
  • Dubin & Co. and Glenn Dubin are not required to register with FINRA because the company is a small family office.
  • The proof that Glenn Dubin is currently the principal is here. I believe it is OK to use this source according to WP:ABOUTSELF.
Please let me know if you have any other concerns or questions, and thanks again for your help. AP for Dubin (talk) 13:37, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
