今天给大家介绍的是一个名为@GS Elevator Gossip（高盛电梯八卦）的Twitter账户，这个账户因为曝光所谓高盛电梯里的一些八卦杂谈、内幕信息和对新闻的评述而闻名于金融圈。
他这个推特账号上的很多内容，挺多金融圈的读者都看过，恩，咱国内金融圈也有人在关注，之前还有人私信问八妹认不认识这位推特账号的幕后大神！
反正呢，不论是国内还是国外，全球人都爱看八卦~ 这是不变的真理！
不过八妹我的风格和他的风格不一样，我觉得他的段子可比我的内容有趣多了~ 另外，那些说好要给八妹提供爆料的人呢，别躲猫猫了。。
最重要的吧，八妹我可不敢像这个电梯八卦那样经常发一些调侃领导大大们的段子，奥巴马无数次躺枪。。。。。
再调侃我们的大大，你们就再也看不到八妹喽，想想这些年八妹也来来去去进了无数回的小黑屋，关注八妹的真爱们肯定都知道。。。哎，说起来一把辛酸泪，就让往事随风。。。
好了，扯远了，让我们进入正题，八妹说的就是下面这个账号：
话说高盛集团当时甚至为了找出这个推特账号的幕后管理者开展过内部调查呢~
后来幕后真人被媒体报道出来啦，《纽约时报》披露了他的身份，Twitter账户“高盛电梯八卦”的管理者是John Lefevre（约翰·勒费夫尔）
勒费夫尔曾在亚洲从事过多年银行业务，不过主要并不是在高盛，他是前花旗银行的一位高管，曾在花旗供职7年，从事债券相关业务，在John Lefevre的身份被曝光后，高盛当时还十分“顽皮”的发布了一条声明：“我们非常高兴地宣布，从即日起禁止在电梯里谈话这条禁令被正式取消。”
看看，高盛也是接地气萌萌哒有木有！
据八妹了解，勒费夫尔最新的进展是出了一本书，书名叫《那些年我发过的八卦》ps :此书名请大家自行忽略，因为纯属八妹虚构！
勒费夫尔的确是出了一本书没错，书名可不叫什么八卦的，而是《Straight to Hell: True Tales of Deviance, Debauchery, and Billion-Dollar Deals》，这书名也是太长了。
他的这本书内容可不是讲什么高盛八卦，而是更多地涉及广泛的债券市场，以及负责销售债券的银团业务经营者的习惯。
接下来重点来了，为什么八妹今天想给大家八一下这位八卦男呢，其实我是想给大家分享一下@GS Elevator Gossip 的那些当时在Twitter上很火很经典的段子，估计有一些大家都看过了，但还是给没看过的朋友们分享一下，为了更浅显易懂，八妹适当修改了其中的部分翻译。
以下资料八妹整理自人人网伍宇翔的日志&Twitter（部分翻译八妹略有修改）
