3. A disgruntled employee or investor punched Fuld in the face...

while he was on the treadmill at the gym on a Sunday. Knocked him cold.

7. It is wrong to enjoy hearing that?

Maybe. But fuck them. These people have no idea the problems that they have caused. When they cut jobs, or decrease hours, they don't realize the effect it has on the lives of their workers; they just see everything as numbers. Their workers in turn are forced to deal with the hardships -- less money, possibly losing their benefits, watching their retirement accounts plummet -- and these jackass CEOs go on $400,000 vacation, or get millions for running their company into the ground.

Fuck them. I'm glad he got knocked out. It's time people turn on these assholes that have helped destroy our country and ruin our lives.

8. I don't advocate violence, but...

the son of a bitch made it through with nothing more than a swollen face. Small price to pay, because unfortunately, that is probably the worst he will get. They will all walk free.

4. I'm tired of those jackass higher-up types

It's ridiculous how these idiots can get the job, "raise profits" by cutting all expenses possible and hurting their American workers, then when they run their company into the ground, they get rewarded with millions. It's bullshit. What happened to increasing revenue as a way to generate profits? Why do these assholes get rewarded for cutting jobs and benefits? What type of degree do you need to cut hours? How many years of experience do you need to cut wages? Why the fuck are these incompetent morons rewarded after doing simpleton shit to make it look like their company was more successul than it really was?

Goddamn them all.

5. Add to that list 100s of co-conspirators of accountants, attorneys, account managers

...and other levels of professionals who knew what was happening, continued to enable the process, profit from it and said nothing! When criminal gangs are exposed in their activities everyone from the top down to the lowest level found guilty in the crime go to jail. So book'em all Dano! And no presidential pardons allowed either.
