Appears to be a hoax. "Hymen Missari, Young Wealth" is a book/reference used for much of it, but it doesn't appear to exist or to be googleable. The rest confirms that Mr. Kelleher exists, not that he has this fantastic company. Google News hasn't heard of him. Kelleher Capital doesn't seem to exist online. And there's certainly nothing to back up "man of letters, and international playboy."

Turning to unreliable sources, Mr. Kelleher seems to have a motorcycle (or at least a picture on a motorcycle), and both Facebook and Linkedin indicate he is at a small shop named "EJB Capital". In other words, it doesn't counter the FUTON bias to indicate Mr. Kelleher is anything more than an average b-school graduate, certainly nothing to pass WP:BIO. tedder (talk) 16:02, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
