A short-lived blog allegedly written by a summer intern at a Los Angeles investment bank has been taken down just one day after its debut, according to a report by DealBook.
The blog, titled “Life of an Investment Banking Summer Slave,” was published under the pseudonym “Mumbles” and offered a candid look at the intern’s experiences. Modeled after the satirical Wall Street blog Leveraged Sellout, the posts reportedly contained humorous and unfiltered observations about the banking world.
However, by Wednesday morning, the blog had been deleted. DealBook’s Kevin Roose speculated that the intern likely removed it after being discovered by colleagues. In one post, Mumbles admitted to writing entries at work while a vice president browsed the internet nearby—a potential violation of the firm’s compliance policies, which typically restrict unauthorized public disclosures.
Though the blog’s exact contents remain unknown, its abrupt disappearance highlights the risks of anonymous workplace commentary in the tightly regulated finance industry. The incident echoes past cases where Wall Street employees faced repercussions for airing grievances online.
No official statement has been released by the unnamed bank, and the fate of “Mumbles” remains uncertain.
