World famous macro-economists: they’re just like us!

Nouriel “Dr. Doom” Roubini is known all over the world for both his crazy-and-occasionally-true predictions about the global economy and also for his partying lifestyle. When the two mix, it seems to create the sort of DMing catastrophe that has befallen many a famous person since the advent of Twitter.

Dr. Doom was looking for a little female companionship last night while he was in Chicago, and was looking to get in touch with “Wenjie” to either play matchmaker or join in on the fun. This “Wenjie” is Wenjie Song, a derivatives trader in Chicago who was involved in this bizarre storyfeaturing celebrity chef Todd English.
