He called himself “fabulous Fab,” and he clearly believed his own hype — throwing obnoxiously large and loud bashes for his Goldman Sachs buddies at his University Place apartment building, neighbors said yesterday.
“He didn’t associate with others in the building. He had a lot of loud parties that would disturb the neighbors below him,” a former building superintendent said of Fabrice Tourre, the 31-year-old French math whiz accused by the Securities and Exchange Commission of misleading Goldman investors in a massive fraud scheme.
But, while he was pulling down serious dough as a vice president in Goldman’s New York headquarters, the single Tourre lived modestly in his one-bedroom, $4,000-a-month prewar apartment on East 10th Street.
There were no flat- screen televisions or lavish art and furnishings, the super said. “He was cheap. He didn’t spend much money.”
Tourre, now an executive director at Goldman Sachs in London, couldn’t be reached for comment.
