Falcone Harbinger Capital, you might recall, is the hedge fund that employs "Snatch-Buckling Muffkateer" Scott Galloway and which recently acquired a stake in the New York Times.

While the firm is still up 14 percent this year, that number was as high as 40 in June. No word on whether the loses will force head honcho and "Little Iron Ranger" Philip Falcone to unload the $49 million Upper East Side townhouse he bought in March that used to belong to the original "Trim Reaper," Penthouse founder Bob Guccione.
