Activist investor Bob Chapman of Chapman Capital is often
credited with inventing the piercing, sometimes nasty letters that denote an
activist investor.
But Chapman is also well-known for how he got his start at
Salomon Brothers in the 1980s. On his way to personally drop off his resume for
Salomon's summer banking associate job in their San Francisco office, he
crashed his bike into a car and flew through the air. Afterwards, he requested
to be taken to Salomon's offices so he could drop off his resume.
He then showed up at Salomon's office with a ripped suit,
glass in his hair and a bandaged thumb that was gushing blood.
He got the job.
