The dominoes continue to fall in the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment case. Deadline has confirmed that two more Weinstein Company board members — Tim Sarnoff and Marc Lasry — resigned today in the wake of Thursday’s devastating New York Times report that outlines a pattern of behavior stretching back at least two decades.
Sarnoff’s day job is as Deputy CEO and President of Production at Technicolor. Lasry is a billionaire hedge fund manager, CEO of Avenue Capital Group and a co-owner of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks. Their board exits follow by hours that of billionaire investor Dirk Ziff.

Are there another possible common threads?
Looks like multiple choice...
I heard that Lisa Bloom no longer represents him. I guess she finally realized how foolish she looked.
Has anyone complained that Weinstein used his position to sexually assault women; to grab their private parts whenever he wanted to because of his position?
Of course not. He’s a democrat.
=============================================
Wikileaks lists 550 conflicts of interest of the Clinton Foundation. Prominent name is billionaire Marc Lasry
<><>Chelsea Clinton's first job was w/ Lasry's hedge fund.
<><> Lasry got Chelsea's hubby's hedge fund off the ground.
<><> Lasry's son, Alexander, worked for Obama's Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett.
<><> Lasry's daughter, Samantha, was a staffer for Congressman Rahm Emanuel.
(NOTE: Emanuel later became a top Clinton aide AND a Goldman Sachs lobbyist at the same time. Emanuel became Obama's COS AND ran the Dept of Treasury at the same time......now he's Chicago mayor.)
=====================================
NY TIMES 2015 report----"For the Clintons a hedge fund in the family."
EXCERPT When Chelsea's hubby, and his partners began raising money in 2011 for a new hedge fund firm, Eaglevale Partners, a number of investors in the firm were longtime supporters of the Clintons, according to interviews and financial documents reviewed by The New York Times. Tens of millions of dollars raised by Eaglevale can be attributed to investors with some relationship or link to the Clintons.
The investors include hedge fund managers like Marc Lasry and James Leitner; an overseas money management firm connected to the Rothschild family; and people from Goldman Sachs, including the chief executive, Lloyd C. Blankfein. Some of the investors in Eaglevale have contributed campaign money to the former president and Mrs. Clinton. Some have also contributed to the family’s foundation.
Identifying who put money into Eaglevale, a roughly $400 million fund that has had underwhelming returns for much of its brief history, is difficult because hedge funds do not publicly disclose their investors.
Still, the overlap between at least some of Eaglevale’s investors and backers of the Clintons illustrates how politics and finance can intersect and shows the fine line the Clinton family must navigate as their charitable and business endeavors come under scrutiny in an election cycle.
SNIP
Mr. Lasry, a co-founder of the big hedge fund Avenue Capital and a longtime friend and financial backer of both the former president and Mrs. Clinton, said he invested $1 million in Eaglevale.
In an interview in his Park Avenue office, adorned with many photos of him with the former president, he said that he recommended that his relative by marriage, Craig Effron, another hedge fund manager, also invest in the fund.
“I gave them money because I thought they would make me money,” said Mr. Lasry, whose $13 billion firm was one of the first places Chelsea worked after graduating from Stanford.
A number of other investors reached by The Times declined to be interviewed.

They are all Gentiles?
It sounds like the perv’s behavior was well kown and egregious for decades. Why do you think this suddenly became headline news?
WOW!
Thanks for posting that!
Great post!
I was getting no end of LOLs that Gloria the Red’s daughter was representing him.
It is going to be a challenge for the next wave of Democrat bagmen (aka fund raisers) to avoid stepping into the stink.
any confirmation on Lisa Bloom withdrawing her representation of Weinstein?
Word on the thread telling of her resignation was that a really BIG exposure was coming in the near future.
They probably approved checks to his grabees.
Perhaps Grouper face tried his crap on Barry’s daughter. So Barrack and Chewy unleash there hounds in the press to destroy him
I read it on yahoo news earlier today, so could be fake. But with most people bailing on him I wouldn’t be surprised.
You posted almost exactly what I was thinking.
These coach roaches are only leaving now because the lights got turned on.
They are still coach roaches.
