A former portfolio manager for an investment fund founded by financier George Soros sexually abused women at a Manhattan penthouse dungeon, according to a $27 million Brooklyn federal suit.

Howie Rubin, 62, whose high-stakes dealing was featured in the best-selling books “Liar’s Poker” and “The Big Short,” rented the lavish Metropolitan Tower pad in Midtown to indulge in brutal sex with women whom he paid between $2,000 and $5,000 per session, according to the suit filed Thursday.

The three unidentified plaintiffs in the case — including two Playboy Playmates — claim the married father raped and beat them to the point that they needed extensive medical attention, court papers say.

At the $8 million penthouse, they were shown to a side room featuring ropes, chains and sex toys along with other BDSM equipment.

Rubin gagged, tied up and viciously abused the women — even punching one in the head, the suit filed by civil lawyer John Balestriere said.

“I’m going to rape you like I rape my daughter,” Rubin barked during one of the alleged assaults.

In one session, he beat one of the women’s “breasts so badly that her right implant flipped,” the papers state.

The former Bear Stearns trader paid her $20,000 to repair the damage.

One plaintiff was tied up, gagged and shocked with a cattle prod in her groin before Rubin allegedly raped her, according to the filing.

Rubin — who collaborated with two female fixers and a lawyer — had the women sign non-disclosure agreements, the papers state.

The trio sought to “cover up Rubin’s sexual misconduct and criminal abuse of women and to serve as a cover for his wide-ranging human trafficking scheme,” wrote Balestriere.

A lawyer for one of the women blasted Rubin’s alleged conduct.

“While arrogance and self-import may convince certain men otherwise, neither money nor power gives any person the right to victimize a woman,” said Jeremy Saland.

Rubin declined to comment on the suit when reached by phone Thursday.

Not that I agree with this behaviour but they let him gag then tie them up in a room with torture stuff (which makes the rape part a little harder to prove) he paid them all quite well and they all signed non disclosure agreements doesn't that mean he can sue them for coming after him?

The same with all these actresses that got a career through the means of playing the skin flute and are regretting it now.

Consenting to X doesn't mean consenting to Y. We don't know what they consented to, whether he carried on despite protestations, etc.

Penthouse dungeon sounds weird.


And who among us hasn't punched a tit until the implant flipped?

We also don't know if they did agree then when all this shit started happening they thought they could get more money.

Also, even if they protested after the fact they signed something after saying they would never say anything and now they come out and do the opposite. Wouldn't they have to pay him for breaking the contract?

Contracts like that rarely hold up in court from what I understand. Maybe ErikMagraken @ErikMagraken can tell us more.

It only costs $2000 to bang a Playmate?

If true, I hope this coward gets life in prison.
