Konrad "Chip" Kruger, the uber-rich Connecticut Hedge Fund guru, has made the news for something other than finances. Kruger's daughter Eliza (also pictured, via NYPost) reportedly planted a story at Deadspin.com: Mark Sanchez, NY Jets Quarterback and 17-year old Eliza "hooked up".

Normally, this story would be about Sanchez, a football quarterback, but because Eliza's dad is very wealthy, the story's focus changes.

Konrad Kruger got his MBA in '77. He co-founded Holger Partners and in '81, he also co-founded Greenwich Capital. He bought a large percentage of the a subsidiary of GM. After that, he married Eliza's mother, Marie and subsequently divorced her.

How did Eliza get in to New York City nightclub "Lavo"? With a fake ID of course. That's where this ill-fated story really began. Deadspin's A.J. Daulerio has the story (including correspondences with Eliza):

"E.K, fearful of the potential backlash and tabloid infamy that might ensue, decided it would be best to tell her version of the story so there would be no misunderstandings."

Apparently, on New Years Eve at Lavo, Sanchez and Kruger flirted, and she gave him her number, clarifying that she was 17. He said that he couldn't see her until, she was 18, to which she replied that 17 was legal in NY. Her response to him texting her is on her Facebook page. Sanchez got her and a friend tickets to a Bills-Jets game. They ate at Nobu in Midtown. Kruger had great things to say about how nice, kind and genuine Sanchez is.
