Danielle Chiesi, foul-mouthed suspect in hedge fund scam

The potty-mouthed hedge fund manager caught on FBI wiretaps comparing herself to Martha Stewart showed Saturday she has even more in common with the domestic diva than insider trading charges.

Danielle Chiesi also shares Stewart's taste in handbags. The 43-year-old money manager strode into her upper East Side home toting a Hermes Birkin, the same type of bag Stewart carried to court in 2004.

While Stewart's luxurious accessory was listed at $12,000, it's unclear if Chiesi's was a genuine Birkin or a knockoff.

Who is this creature?
A perpetually angry Chiesi was charged Friday with securities fraud as part of what prosecutors described as the biggest insider trading ring in decades. She is accused of sharing insider tips with billionaire hedge fund guru Raj Rajaratnam, the alleged mastermind of the $20 million scheme.
