If the modern-day cougar, as Emily Nussbaum recently wrote in New York, is classically defined as a "vain, horny, lacquered, mouthy" older woman, unapologetic about getting what she wants, then Danielle Chiesi is a prime example of the breed, according to today's oddly slut-shamey Bloomberg article on the 44-year-old New Castle analyst, who was recently charged as part of the Galleon insider-trading ring.
