Please Do Not Delete Properly Sourced Material
Everyone puts in time to add to knowledge on Wikipedia. Let's not let personal biases destroy that. Restored the page to included the inputs (including my own) that were properly sourced from NYTimes and Barrons. Personally, I am a woman and a cancer survivor who came here after an interest in Michael Milken, another Wall Street Rogue, who has contributed significantly to cancer research. Interested if Mr. Jett has supported any charities or is in anyway philanthropic. The page needs to be fleshed out like Milken's in my opinion. Cancerwontwin (talk) 16:03, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
Joe Jett is editing this page...
Joe Jett is editing this page, including passages from his mainly fictional autobiography which was discredited in several SEC decisions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.100.173.99 (talk) 02:39, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Looks like someone is back
Holy crap. Look at the edits on March 7th. Is this guy back editing his own article again? --Manway (talk) 01:29, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
History of this Wikipedia Page. An essay in attempted character assasination.
Comix and I are high school students who had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Jett speak at our school for black history month, Feb 2011. I am African-American. Comix is white for whatever it matters. We did a paper on Reginald Lewis and Jett, pioneers of African Americans on Wall Street, both proud men who challenged the prevailing powers and both bizarrely barred from practicing their profession.
This Wikipedia page began in 2007 as the brainchild of Mitch Cox of Barclays Wealth Management and Jett's former girlfriend, Melissa Leonardo of Merrill Lynch. According to Leonardo, Cox advised her to seize Jett's equity in the home Jett alone had invested equity into and simultaneously to launch this Wikipedia page. The page long asserted that Jett had failed to gain his Harvard MBA, had been found criminally liable by the SEC and that his business, Jett Capital Management did not exist. By seizing the home equity, they prevented Jett from having legal counsel when, after 13 years his case finally went before the District Court. Their long term goal was to cripple Jett financially.
For 3 years their assertions have dominated this page. However, in October 2010, Wikipedia's attorneys agreed that the page was libelous and defamatory and took steps to remove the assertions of criminal conviction and made it clear that Jett had earned his Harvard MBA on schedule with the Harvard MBA Class of 1987.
The love triangle between Jett, Cox and Leonardo and now the ebb and flow of the New Jersey Family Court custody battle between Leonardo and Jett are being played out on this Wikipedia page. So if anyone goes back and reviews the archives, you will note that this is personal not in the least bit scholarly. Jett does not edit this page as he is threatened with imprisonment and the loss of his children in New Jersey Family Courts if he dares assert his own innocence despite being a public figure.
Comix and I have taken properly referenced material so that Jett is fleshed out. The efforts to have this page ignore Jett's present business, the impact of race, or the media juggernaut in GE that accused him is nonsensical. Likewise for anyone to champion an organization so clearly incapable of justice as the SEC the single arbiter of justice is incredible.
Please add your own properly referenced material to this page and do not remove ours.
