cohen. he's handled high level contracts. now he is trying to complete a hail mary pass to keep b.a.r.t in the game. >> you think the parties will trust him. that's critical. >> new york attorney has known cohen for 30 years, first from the opposite side of the negotiations table when cohen earned his respect. >> he is very smart and very experienced. if anybody can find a way through the thicket, george will find a way through the thicket. >> of course, all of our concern about the public's interest. >> now cohen is the quarterback of b.a.r.t talk using experience and intelligence to diffuse pressure and develop trust. battiman says there is no better person to pull off victory there b.a.r.t and the entire bay area. >> if anybody can pull a rabbit out of a hat and get settlement, it is george cohen. >> reporter: to be clear, these mediator know how these negotiations work. they know how to be creative and maybe that will make the difference in the end. coming up calf,ly tell you why b.a.r.t's chief negotiator is in disney la

that is a big deal. >> that is what steve cohen's lawyers are trying to do. they're trying to persuade the sec to somehow modify to take less than that. i don't think they will go for it that will kill steve cohen more than anything else. melissa: seth, do you think a lifetime ban is in the offing? >> i think that's a great point and it really goes to one of the lesser discussed aspects of this whole story. this is very complicated situation. it is historic and a landmark moment for the justice department. it would be as you said the biggsest settlement in this type of case however it is complicated. the only way steve cohen wants to wrap this up if he can mop up all the legal issues into the same settlement bucket. melissa: right. >> as charlie said has to include probably two things to be happy about cuting a check for $1.2 billion. one he has to have assurance the criminal liability is dead letter. i know that might already be looking good for him but that has to be put to bed. two, this sec case is very important. potential lifetime ban and they have to s

cohen will be indicted criminally personally. i can't see him makeing a deal without making sure that all of this, in one big package with a nice little ribbon gets done and taken care of. melissa: and do you think that is likely? do you think he could secure a deal like that? >> i, the answer is yes because if the feds had enough to indict him they would have indicted him by now. the question is how big will the check be? that puts an end to the whole thing. melissa: technically what does it mean, if he is banned for life, it can still be a family office, right or he can't trade at all? >> correct. it means he can sit there, by my calculations he will have $7 billion of his own money. and he can sit there and trade and run it basically as a priiate hedge fund but people like you, me, or commercial investors or commercial people can't go to him and be paid fees and put money in the fund. so he is basically finished. from a regulatory standpoint but also if i'm a commercial guy and i put money in his fund and suddenly this happens

the spotlight is back on hedge fund titan steve cohen a new report says cohen is selling three major paintings in his vast art collection amid rising legal business. all the word on wall street. here with all the juicy details, ahead of the tape columnist, spencer jacob. we have to ask you. i think that is wore who elizabeth taylor up for sale. he can't be hurting for money. he still has 9 billion. >> i think he is doing okay. there are twoxplanations for actions like this. one,ou're shuffling portfolio. people who own a lot of art, he has been known to buy and sell. he doesn't just accumulate. if you sell a painting ad buy other one you don't have a paint capital gain on it. he is seeing trends in the art world, being consummate trader he is is. the other explanation is that he is looking to pay some he hefty legal bills and personal fines and wants to be as liquid as possible. difficult to show up with the d.a.'s office with chagall or waol and pay that. so y want to he as much cash as possible to with th eventuity. adam: he wnts to have cash. i would thinke is a little distracted

>> a lot of people may not know of sc capital visors or stephen cohen. it's been in the news but for a lot of people who follow business. this firm is a pretty big deal. >> absolutely. this hedge fund was the envy of wall street. it had $50 billion in assets under management and posts outside trading profits for two decades but since it has fallen in fed crosshairs clients have pulled most of their money but stephen cohen still has a sizable fortune to manage at $9.2 billion. >> he alone has more money than many hedge funds will manage. so the agreement just means that they can't manage outside money. >> we've seen this so much, and we heard time and time again that ultimately it's not the money that matters. >> thank you very much. we'll take a quick break, and we'll be right back on "real money." >> it's been one year since hurricane sandy hit the east coast. the super storm was one of the most damaging and most expensive to ever hit the u.s. businesses were decimated. many still have not reopened. merchants in one neighborhood hosted a block party to

cohen, they're after everybody and it's unfair. i'm one of the few people bold enough to speak out about it. >> kate, you want to make a comment? >> well, anthony certainly got a strong opinion there. a lot of people think the opposite, that essentially insider trading and other ills commit on wall street have gone largely unchecked over the year. we're seeing an abundance of regulatory cases ranging from jpmorgan to s.a.c. having said all of that there's an interesting series of events that could take place and you've got a firm if it pleads guilty has to change its structure at a minimum. founder steve cohen personally sued on a civil basis. down the road we could see him barred from the securities industry. that doesn't mean he'll have to bow out entirely. he could maybe continue to advise and manage on a reduced basis but tough period for them. no doubt about it. >> doc? >> i'd say, kate, when you looked awhat the mark cuban with that lawsuit and the s.e.c. going after him there, and then him subsequently posting up on twitter

kudos to richard cohen for finally acknowledging and admitting that. as far as the rally is concerned, i think there was an attempt early on to say people in general don't really care about privacy, don't care about civil liberties. i've been hearing this for the last seven or eight years as i have made up my principal focus. the factor we are five months later and these revelations are every bit as consequential and riveting people around the world as they were five months ago, it just proves how true that is. the fact there is a rally of people who are disregarding the sort of standard partisan theirxes and realizing enemies are the people in government from both political parties who believe their powers should be exercised in secret and with no accountability, really is a testament to how much privacy is fired around the world. human beings understand instantly why the private realm is a crucial. award snowden is considered hero in calais nations around the world. it is true there is an authoritarian stream in america's political culture that has a
