UPDATE/Correction: I believe the effort is to recruit the bankers individually (not on behalf of their banks) to serve on a team to manage loans and investments to MIC companies. Corrections are incorporated below.

Among the benefits promised to the recruits:

“{U}nmatched access to top-level government officials and privileged information flow — whatever you need, you can get" – isn't that patently illegal? Don't Wall Streeters already have enough inside info?

And "this could lead to several exciting exit opportunities."
