Knock Out: CNBC Confirms Lehman CEO Punched At Gym


www.businessandmedia.org
“From two very senior sources – one incredibly senior source – that he went to the gym after … Lehman was announced as going under. He was on a treadmill with a heart monitor on. Someone was in the corner, pumping iron and he walked over and he knocked him out cold. And frankly after having watched this, I’d have done the same too.” Ward determined Fuld deserved the beating based on his testimony before the committee.

“I thought he was shameless,” Ward said. “I thought it was appalling. He blamed everyone. He blamed, as you say, ‘naked short sellers’ over and over in case we didn’t get the point, when in fact hedge funds like Harbinger had money locked up in Lehman and was shorting it to try and make the most of the money that they already had. He blamed everybody but himself.”

I'm not so sure. These people can buy their own gyms and they can buy protection. They don't really have to mix with us little people.

These people have absolutely VIOLATED this nation, and gotten away with it with the help of our totally corrupt gov...


Yes, I think most people agree with this. However, whilst I might dream of burning mansions and CEOs pushed into forced manual labour, I really, really, really doubt anything will be done. So, the guy was knocked-out cold. Well, it's not something I'm hoping random strangers do to me but, the guy eventually got up and walked away. Sure his masculine pride might have been dented and he was more cautious about locking windows and doors at night, but ultimately, he's gotten away with this pretty lightly. I'm sure there's some forum members that would trade taking a knock-out punch for a fraction of a percent of what that guy has made just from the last week alone.

Yes it would be nice to get a hold of some CCTV footage and whack it through Adobe Premiere, zooming and slow-moing the vital scene as the fist hits the face making sure we see every detail of the four knuckle prints on the guys face as it sinks in and becomes nice and red....

Then plastering it on as many websites as we could possibly get our hands on....

Wonderful stuff

A great many of the nations CEO's already have bodyguards.


I'm a touch surprised Fuld was stupid enough to show up in a public place.

And wondering as well why he doesn't just put a gym into his home/homes?


Not surprising, CEO's seem to be the cheapest people on the earth.

Witness the perks and payouts to the recently retired Exxon executive who got out with 400 million not too long ago.
Part of what he got was that the company would pay his country club fees every year.

So - guessing here - if said country club fees were $50,000. per year couldn't he afford to pay that out of the 400 million?
Not to mention he still gets to use a company jet plane . . . for consultations and the like.
Sure thing, that's one I'll believe.


And the head of Tyco - who's now sitting in prison - used company funds to pay the 2 million for his wires toga birthday party on Crete.
With 16 million a year income he couldn't afford that?


Jack Welch of GE, part of his perks while employed were fresh flowers every day in his mansion.


Know what Kenneth Lay was doing at Enron when arrested?
Picking out the cabin upholstery in the newest of many company jets.


These guys - the CEO's - are easily recognized people.
If they're half as smart as they think they are they'll stay out of the public eye.

I think though, fame is a narcotic and they'll have a hard time not getting out and about.


OJ Simpson is a classic example.
Nicole's sister commented that OJ used to get furious when out in public and no one recognized him.


Maybe the best thing for the scumbag CEOs is to move to France where a lot of persona non grata types seem to show up.

Maybe, I think the French people are a tad PO'd at them as well.

No place to run, no place to hide.


Getting back to Fuld, I don't think there's a jury in the country that would convict the guy who punched him....
