Lehman CEO Punched at Gym

Source: Business & Media Institute

It seems anxiety from the financial crisis is reaching new highs, but the tipping point for one individual came at the Lehman Brothers gym in the midst of the company’s collapse.

While former Lehman CEO Richard Fuld was testifying before the House Oversight Committee Oct. 6, CNBC reported he had been punched in the face at the Lehman Brothers gym after it was announced the firm was going bankrupt. CNBC and Vanity Fair contributor Vicki Ward said Fuld was attacked at the gym on a Sunday following the bankruptcy.

“Frankly, I sat there and listened and I’m with the guy who apparently, the day before Barclays announced they were coming in and Lehman had already filed for bankruptcy, went over to him in the gym and punched him because that’s how I feel when I, you know, when I watched that,” Ward said on the Oct. 6 “Power Lunch.” “I didn’t think he was contrite at all, I thought he was arrogant.” ...

I can't even go to their home page, so I don't know what "Godlike Productions" is all about.

Ward confirmed previous reports about the incident that reportedly occurred Sept. 21 and said the information came from “two very senior sources.”



“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.”



Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy in September 2008 and its assets were later snatched up by the British bank Barclays for $1.35 billion, which included Lehman’s Midtown Manhattan office tower with a $960 million price tag.

:cry:

Shouldn't he be in a more expensive PRIVATE one where he is protected from hooligans? :sarcasm:

I'd elect Sarah Palin if she'd hunt the people whose greed got us into this mess from helicopters instead of wolves.

I'd do it if I could ,I'd shoot the fuckers, but I'd only shoot their kneecaps out,Than I'd put one leg locked in a toothed leg hold trap and secure it to a tree.Than I'd just leave 'em out there in the wilderness alone bleeding and in pain where no one can hear them scream, in the nude, As vulnerable as possible easy prey for the hungry packs of wolves ,or bears or whatever.It's the least they deserve.

The American people are being raped. Many will lose jobs, insurance, 401ks, LIVES will be lost. These are our fellow American Citizens who are innocent of any crimes, yet are being victimized by these thugs in suits.

If they don't get frog marched into prison.. and btw.. remember Martha Stewart going to prison for 4 years? Come On People!!!!!

If these crooks do not get prison time, perhaps it is time that America takes justice into it's own hands. I will allow the imagination to provide the details.

But it felt good just seeing that in print.

But I do imagine it..And also financial abuse is abuse and to fight back against an abuser is not wrong or unwarranted violence..

with his decisions, based only on greed.

We don't want to get too extreme, but really, is a few teeth knocked out too much to ask as punishment for what this douchebag's done to our country?
