Fishnet temptress Danielle Chiesi snagged by insider trading scandal

Tony Allen-Mills in New York

Her mother calls her “my angel”, and “the most honest human being in the whole world”. Yet federal investigators take a different view of Danielle Chiesi, a former beauty queen turned hedge-fund consultant, who has emerged at the centre of the biggest insider trading scandal to shake Wall Street for decades.

The publication of federal indictments against the flamboyant chief of a $7 billion (£4.3 billion) hedge fund has provided a glimpse into a secretive world of male-dominated corporate networking that allegedly proved almost comically vulnerable to the seductive charms of a woman described by one Wall Street website as “a blue-eyed temptress”.

Invariably clad in low-cut blouses and short skirts, Chiesi cut a glamorous swathe among the geekish male executives of California’s Silicon Valley, where she built an enviable network of high-powered executive contacts at prestigious technology companies.

“She bragged about her contacts,” said Deborah Stapleton, a California executive who often saw Chiesi, a 44-year-old divorcée, plying her charms on dazzled nerds at computer conferences. “It amazes me that grown, wealthy, successful, hardworking men fell for that.”

"Sly Stallone also dated her?"

The 'roids did Sly no good where it counts. Looks like she found out.

It appears she likes the girls now.

That's got to be the dumbest 44yo divorcee ever.

Nah, not appealing or tempting, not even at her peak.

No to her posse too.

If her words are to be believed, she still managed to ensnare wealthy geeks. Somehow, she was good enough for them.:-)

Oh, I'm sure she did wow or was woo, perhaps it was woe some guys.

Overly buxom, chunky blonds don't do it for me. I'm sure she had her fans though.

She is 15 to 20 years past her peak.

Probably, a few pounds over her training weight too!
