Couldn't happen to a nicer guy LOL...

[Biggirl]

Not suprising.

Good. Now somebody needs to bitch slap Barney Frank.

An honest solid, masculine punch in the nose just doesn’t seem appropriate.

I hope the thug was arrested.

[SMARTY]

Buy that guy a drink!

Maybe he should PAY for a membership in another gym not use the FREE gym in his office building.

I’d like to do that to 3/4 of the US Congress.

Fuld is lucky he's not swinging by his heels from a lamp post in Manhattan.

Even bigger than a punch in the face, to me anyway, is spending stock holders and investor’s money on an office gym...And of course staff to run it sounds more like a government operation.

Richard Fuld...poster boy for “reversal of fortune” (although he’s
still purty derned rich...which might also be another “reversal
of fortune if he ends up facing criminal and/or civil lawsuits)

From Fuld’s wikipedia profile (can’t get the link to work...
makes me wonder if Wikipedia sometimes blocks link via FR?)

“
In 2006, Fuld was named #1 CEO in the Brokers & Asset Managers category, by Institutional Investor magazine.[citation needed] In 2007 he received a $22 million bonus.

I hope the perp is tried for battery. I hope the CEO is tried for treason.

The big truth, the constant of humanity and society at issue here is thus:

It's a CHOICE to be accountable.
Only those who CHOOSE to be held accountable can be held accountable.

It is important to teach children to be willing to and want to be held to account. It is important to elect leaders who have demonstrated that desire to be held to account, and promote employees who demonstrate they are willing to be held to account, and to refuse to deal without significant protections with those who refuse to be held to account.

This man’s conduct was despicable. He provided himself with a financial lifeboat, while allowing those under him to sink. Anyone studying his actions can find but one word for them: dereliction of duty. The only similar event that comes to mind is an event that never happened. During the worst of the fighting in Vietnam, Lt Col Hal Moore (later Lt Gen) was ordered to attend a press conference. Moore refused, caring more for the safety of his men than his personal advancement. It is a shame that those on Wall Street lack the same integrity.

I was commenting to a friend that I wouldn't at all be surprised to see a bunch of CEO and CFO types be held more personally accountable, if you get my drift. This will just be the first of many stories you'll hear like this.
