August 29, 2005 Police Arrest NYSE Member for Death Threat Against Fellow Member

Wall Street can be a tough place. According to police, Edward A. Reiss made a death threat against William Higgins. Higgins has been opposed to the New York Stock Exchange’s plan to buy Archipelago.

Here’s more on Reiss:

“In the past 10 years, electronic technology has transformed the Exchange at lightening speed,” says Ed.

Although Ed marvels at the computerization of the floor, there have been no advances in saving shoe leather. He’s in constant motion, running from the Main Room to the Garage and back, shouting and gesticulating in a lingo unique to the Exchange.
