Tiger Hunt: The Sad Story Of Seth Tobias

You can almost smell the schadenfreude as the New York Times reports on the curious tale of hedge fund manager and television talking head Seth Tobias, who was found floating face down "Sunset Boulevard"-style in the swimming pool of his Florida mansion earlier this year. It seems that Tobias led a lavish lifestyle which included $35,000 mortgage payments and $500 monthly cable bills ... not to mention lashings of drugs and strippers, at least according to those who claim that Tobias' wife "cajoled her husband into the water while he was on a cocaine binge with a promise of sex with a male go-go dancer known as Tiger".

Despite the caginess of the West Palm Beach gay bar owner who was contacted by the Times reporters for more information, it wasn't too hard to track down who Tiger is—after all, how many blonde tiger stripe-tattooed strippers-slash-porn stars are there out there? (We also seem to remember seeing him in the Chi Chi LaRue-directed bisex flick "Mile Bi Club" a while back.) It's not clear whether he had anything to do with Tobias' death, but one thing's for sure: if you want to go about meeting Tiger yourself, you don't have to go looking at the bottom of a swimming pool to find him.
