Very Nero-like, jetsetting and blowing money at a neurotic pace while everything was falling apart.
Hope the WSJ paywall doesn't block, it didn't for me.

The Podesta Group’s chief financial officer sent Mr. Podesta a 7:23 p.m. email: “If we don’t have collateral pledged prior to 5pm tomorrow, we will be in default.” If the firm went into default, the CFO wrote, “we will not be able to meet our rent, your art payments, ad campaigns, and most importantly payroll.”
Mr. Podesta responded: “need list of next 5 layoffs,” among other questions. The next day, he left for an art show in Turin, Italy. The bank’s deadline passed.

Podesta and Manafort are more closely connected than Manafort and Trump. There is a sealed envelope in Fed Court with Tony's name in it.

They have an interesting take on explaining a pedophile.

Btw, wtf happened to his ex-wife Heather? The article says she's 26 years younger than him but she looks about 60 years old.
She looks like someone who's seen unspeakable things.

Good section toward the end on fallout from his work with Manafort/Gates.
quote:
Early in 2012, Mr. Manafort and his associate Richard Gates, longtime Republican lobbyists, hired the Podesta Group and another firm to lobby on behalf of the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine, a nonprofit. The Podesta Group registered as a domestic lobbyist for the Centre.
Over the next two years, the Podesta Group was paid more than $1 million for its work, which would later prove to be costly.
In April 2017, the Podesta Group filed a report with the Justice Department acknowledging its work “could be interpreted as principally benefiting a foreign government.” In his February guilty plea, Mr. Gates admitted he had arranged for the Centre to “represent falsely” that it wasn’t supervised by the Ukrainian government...
As special counsel Robert Mueller dug into the Ukraine work, the string of headlines and ongoing federal probe chased off Podesta Group clients...
Before dawn on Monday Oct. 23, 2017, NBC News reported that Mr. Mueller was preparing to indict Mr. Manafort and implicate Mr. Podesta regarding the Ukraine work. The phones started ringing: Clients wanted to know what was going on. The firm’s bank wanted to discuss its account.

I'd love to read the story, but you need a subscription to the WSJ.

Yeah, good question. Podesta has supposedly claimed that he didn't know that the European Centre for Modern Ukraine that Paul and Rick were running was a Yanukovich/Russian front, but who knows?

The following night, Mr. Podesta threw himself a birthday party, serving hundreds of guests pizza from a brick-oven stove in his backyard in Kalorama.
A Podesta having a “pizza party” to celebrate his birthday- how curious... Wonder if it was one of those special “pizza parties” that he’s known for...
