A Wall Street Legend and His Penthouse Sex Dungeon

Podcast cover

The Journal.

The podcast explores the double life of Howard Rubin, a Wall Street trader who led a secret life of sexual abuse and sex trafficking. Rubin, once a celebrated figure known for high-stakes trading at firms like Salomon Brothers and Bear Stearns, later became the subject of civil suits and a criminal investigation. The investigation revealed that Rubin allegedly ran a sex dungeon in his Manhattan penthouse, where he abused women recruited by Jennifer Powers, who acted as his COO. The women, often flown in from out of state, were allegedly coerced into signing NDAs and subjected to torture, with Rubin ignoring safe words. Despite his arrest and pending trial, Rubin's family, including his wife and daughter, have publicly supported him, contrasting sharply with the accounts of his alleged victims.
