It is said that when you live by the sword, you die by the sword. Is this actually why CEOs command such exorbitant salaries? If so, imagine what they do to warrant a contract being taken out on them. All in the name of business though. Right?

He must have been worth more than $20,000 dead for a professional hit like that to be done.

Why the tight lid on it? Yes, because of the ongoing investigation, but we hear about everything else within minutes of it happening and we get plenty of details. Take the al-Hilli murders in Switzerland, for example.

Is that a Batman refrence?
Anyway ... I wonder if we were to look into this guy's most recent business transactions if we'd find anything of interest.
Perhaps he got involved with the "wrong people" or owed someone money and didn't bother to pay.
Rich people don't get shot like that unless they're involved in questionable activities.
Edit to add: Wait, he's that rich and he only drives a Lexus? Maybe that's why he's rich...edit on 26-10-2012 by MystikMushroom because: (no reason given)
Roberto Adinolfi, the chief executive of Ansaldo Nucleare, was leaving his home in Genoa when a man wearing a motorcycle helmet shot him in the leg with a Tokarev pistol before escaping with an accomplice on a stolen black moped, which was later found by police.
