CityGroup Headquarters, New York, New York.
Inside the office of the Managing Director, Head of Prime Brokerage Risk, two men could be seen seated, as a slightly solemn atmosphere filled the room.
One the men was seated behind the desk and another was seated on a visitor's chair.
"Are you sure about this, Fletcher," the man seated behind the desk, asked with a face filled with curiousity.
"Yes. I also thought that the person from the Prime Brokerage Sales Desk was joking when she said that a kid of 21 years of age wanted to open a prime account, but it was real. And right now, that account has a stock portfolio worth $457 million," the man called Fletcher, replied.
The person behind the desk, tapped the desk continuously, lost in his thoughts.
"Has the account been assigned a portfolio manager," he asked, after a brief moment of silence.
"Yes," Fletcher replied.
"Who?"
"Otis."
