Disgraced billionaire hedge fund manager Steve Cohen has been forced to cut the price on his Manhattan penthouse yet again. The new price is a mere $82 million, down from $110 million.
The penthouse is located at 731 Lexington Avenue, otherwise known as One Beacon Court. The building has 105 apartments over 54 stories and was opened in 2001. Located on 58th Street, between Lexington Avenue and Third Avenue, the building is part of the Bloomberg Tower complex. It neighbors Bloomberg L.P. as well as the upscale Le Cirque restaurant.

Cohen might be in need of some quick cash to cover all of the legal fees that he has incurred defending himself against insider trading allegations by the SEC. He may also need it to pay any fines that might be imposed. Oh and his ex-wife is suing him too.
