This post http://saltocean.blogspot.com/2009/07/recommended... indicates that the "Dean Carney" character is a combination of two separate people: John Fou (also a Princeton grad) and Adrian Brindle.

I suspect Carney is Tavoso, and the alleged "hedge fund" in the book wasn't a self-standing hedge fund at all, it was an operation internal to RBC, called the Global Equity Derivatives Group, that Tavoso was running at the right time to be the book's Carney.

Didn’t Mezrich write in the book that Dean Carney eventually ended up moving to Los Angeles and blowing all of his money on hookers and coke? Maybe these were fabricated details to protect the true identity of the real life trader?

Richard Tavoso is not the right guy, it says he joined RBC in 1995, that is too early for the story, it may be Tavoso’s replacement.

hey, i did a search in regards to Dean Carney, and i came up with “Richard Tavoso”. “Prior to this role, Mr. Tavoso spent seven years at Kidder Peabody in the equity derivatives group. As a senior vice president, he built and managed Kidder’s Tokyo equity derivatives business from 1990 to 1993. He was awarded Kidder Peabody’s equity trader of the year for his efforts in 1992. Mr. Tavoso graduated with a major in history from Princeton University.” it doesnt say anything about ASC, just that he is currently a managing director at RBC Capital Markets
