Jeff Beck

An outrageous Wall Street trader known as Mad Dog for howling after successful deals, and for using phrases such as "lock and load" and "rock and roll". He played a major role in two of Wall Street's biggest ever leveraged buy-outs, the acquisitions of Beatrice Companies and RJR Nabisco by Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts & Co. He was befriended by Michael Douglas, and served as a technical adviser for the movie Wall Street (1987). In 1990, the Wall Street Journal revealed that he had deceived people by claiming to be a Vietnam veteran and owning a business empire. His Wall Street and Hollywood friends dropped him, and he ended up as an independent money manager.
