What That Guy In The Deal Actually Carries
Briefcase. Golf bag. Car. Emotional baggage.
Filed by Dry Powder Editorial Desk — August 1, 2026 — Character: M&A Mike
A forensic audit of the briefcase, the carry-on, the golf bag, and the emotional baggage.
The briefcase is soft-sided, unbranded, and eleven years old. It contains a legal pad with nothing legible on it, two chargers for the same device, and a pen that costs more than the pad.
“He cannot disclose the deal, but he will absolutely show you the pen.”
The golf bag is the real disclosure document. Four gloves. One scorecard from a course he mentions often. A towel that has never touched a club head.
Ask him what he is working on and he will tell you he cannot say, then say a great deal.
Not financial advice. Just expensive opinions.
