Frontline interviewed former Fairfield Greenwich employee Sherry Cohen about our favorite feeder family, the Noels, who tells us that Monica and Walter, who met on a ski slope, were likable and “socially ambitious,” whereas their daughters, were, er:


Frontline: Did you like them?

Cohen: I think that Walter and Monica are very, very likable people.

They had a tremendous sense of self-entitlement. And I wasn’t the only one who thought that. And I wasn’t the only one who thought that they were very, very aggressive. It was just a general aggression about going after whatever it is they want. And they really could care less whose toes they stepped on. It was all about them.
