There's some real truth to the maxim "Mo' money, mo' problems," and perhaps no former couple knows that better than hedge fund giant Steve A. Cohen and his first wife, Patricia. She was skeptical of his financial disclosures when they divorced at the end of the 1980s, but it was her 2009 lawsuit alleging racketeering and insider trading at his SAC Capital that seemed to kick federal regulators into high gear.Join us Thursday, November 3, for Trashcandy Confidential: A Trashy Divorces Studio Experience!
