It shows what an unprincipled, dishonest, cruel, opportunistic individual he is.
Who made the film and what was their agenda? I have read his books. He is principled, honest, and fair but tough.
Has anyone who worked for him or who works for him now said anything unfavorable about him? There you have your answer.
Did you view the video? How can you give it an honest critique it if you don’t?
from wikipedia:
According to the unsigned cover article, "Dynasty In Distress" in the February 9, 2004 issue of Business Week, Stern was "intensely engaged" as a board member of Rite Aid in the mid-to-late '90s when the drugstore chain admitted to overstating net income by $1 billion over two years.[6]
Stern was named in several class action suits[specify] in which investors claimed that he and other directors had breached their fiduciary duty to shareholders. A separate lawsuit, filed by Kevin Mann, the son of the original founder and former executive vice-president, alleged that Stern used his influence to increase shelf space in Rite Aid stores for Hartz's pet products at the expense of competitors. Rite Aid settled that suit in 1999 for $11 million.
Stern resigned from the board in late 2001. According to the article, he "brushes all of this aside: 'We saved that company from bankruptcy. We threw out the old management and brought in the new and set it on its turnaround' (kinda sounds a little like Trump here...lol!)
Upon further reading, it appears Stern made an absolute killing in commercial real estate in Seacaucus, NJ (Meadowlands) up to the 90's, in part by persuading some high-profile companies to move their HQ's from NYC to his properties in NJ.
Stern's issues with Trump sound a lot like sour grapes, both being real estate billionaires, and likely competing for the same clientele. IMHO.
