Those of you who have Blackstone chief Stephen Schwarzman’s “anonymous” blog – “Secrets with Stephen” – bookmarked may have noticed a drop-off in dish, says DealBreaker. No speculation concerning the how’s and why’s of Henry Kravis’s new puppy, Mr Barky Von Schnauzer, and his recent “operation”. Not even a thinly veiled account of dining at the home of someone sounding suspiciously like Kohlberg, who served a sea bass that Stephen felt “left something to be desired”. What’s up? Well, it could have something to do with the fact that Schwarzman received a note from Blackstone IT last week informing him that they’d been keeping track and found an average of 4.5 hours a day on something called secretswithstephen.blogspot.com to be “inappropriate use of a company computer”. Or it could just be because Blackstone is currently in its “quiet period”.
