Confirmed: Lehman Bros CEO Punched In Face »
Posted By berkeley 1 year, 1 month ago in Business & FinanceCNBC confirms that someone did indeed march up to Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fuld and "knock him out cold" right after the bankruptcy was announced. Said Vanity Fair's Vicki Ward: "I'd have done the same too." In the CNBC video below, Ward discusses Fuld's apparent lack of contrition over his shambolic mismanagement of the company, and notes that the rumor of Fuld getting decked has been confirmed by two extremely reliable sources.

I totally agree with your comment of imprisioning all guilty CEO's, plus making them pay back all monies. If a poor black guy commits some small time robbery, he goes to jail for a couple of years. Wake up America, because you are sound asleep at the wheel.

I totally agree 100%. These CEO's need to be brought to justice once and for all and be made examples of so all the other greedy and criminal minded culprits of these companies will not get away with this crap. I am so steamed over this!

Fuld is a private sector guy and Lehman was a private sector firm. The company took risks, and went out of business causing a lot of investors to lose money. Horrible abuse, and corruption. Freddie and Fannie are semi-public institutions run into the ground by former government people like Raines, Johnson, Gorelick and Reno, and failed by current Congressmen like Frank and Dodd. Again, horrible abuse and corruption but on the part of people in which we expected a least a degree of public trust. These people should be hauled in to testify in front of investigative committees, then punched in the mouth. They are no less to blame than Fuld, and probably more so.

I recommend that FULD, FRANKLIN RAINES and ALL of the other CEOS of these failed corps. be fined ALL of the millions they have skimmed off the top before jumping their sinking ships. I further recommend that THESE CEOS along with our "oversight watchdog" BARNEY FRANK AND HIS FANNIE MAE LOVER, HERB MOSES be put in public stocks on the National Mall for a COUPLE OF MONTHS or so, SO the public can come by and throw rotten tomatoes, cabbages, etc. at their heads, then baptize these devils with spit. Then I recommend that ALL of our representatives in the SENATE and the CONGRESS and the PRESIDENT (NO MATTER WHO IS ELECTED, since both Obama and McCain were in Congress when this debacle occurred) take a pay cut AND benefits cut, 50% SEEMS FAIR TO ME!!! I also recommend that from this moment ANY USA public servant who takes any money,trips,jewelry,etc. from any PAC or special interest be immediately fired, be barred from ever seeking office again and be sentenced to 10 years of shoveling crap at their local zoo and another 10 more of working in their closest city sewer if they don't perform first crappy job well (OR ANY OTHER CRAPPY JOB at the discretion of the judge) so they will understand what a bunch of crap is when they see it. At least they will still have JOBS but they will know American taxpayers REALLY AND TRULY expect them to DO THEIR JOBS WELL! And IF the economy improves, we will THINK about giving these partisan buffoons a raise. Brand new members of the Senate or Congress could be exempted from pay cut, unless they start UNDER-PERFORMING as well.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOSH!!!! How I would love to shake the hand of this person. I agree with poster "TweekerchickQC" that violence is never the answer, but this guy really had it coming. How I would have loved to do that myself to a couple of former employers.

PROPELLER is another of the several lame, low-content AOL click-throughs. I have STOPPED clicking on AOL story indexes, and instead open GOOGLE NEWS. This way, I avoid all the AOL clones like PROPELLER, POPEATER, WALLET POP and other empty scams. Realize that AOL is no more than click bait for morons, and you'll be better off.

Speaking as a Propeller staffer, let me ask: what's the scam? Sure, Propeller is a social news site owned by AOL. It offers community-driven content, which is what differentiates it from the other AOL properties you mentioned. If that's not your cup of tea, there's no need to return--but this hardly qualifies as a bait-and-switch racket. All you lost was the sixty seconds it took you to type that comment. Of course we appreciate the participation :).

Now, THAT is funny!!! We need a little sunshine right now, and the vision of Fuld being knocked on his ass is just too beautiful. Does anyone know who did the ouching? Was it a former investor or employee? Whoever it was, God bless and keep them. We can only hope the FBI ends up prosecuting this little weasel.

I think corporate CEO's salaries in Japan are limited to 17 times their highest paid employee....Stockholders here have no rights to what a CEO's compensation is...That is decided by the Board...Boards are usually made up from over compensated CEO's from other company's...the old boy network...

I believe congress needs to pass laws or we might need a constitutional amendment to limit these CEO's compensation package....They are nothing more than the robber barons of the 19th century...
These CEO's and their underlings believe they are worth every penny..When Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fuld was begging congress for money he was also begging his board to approve 20 million dollar exit packages for some of his people that were leaving....
This country is in horrible shape....There is nothing wrong with being a HAVE...But us HAVE NOT'S are tired of getting raped by our government and by these corporate self-serving, righteous, crooked,bigwig individuals..
They love to quote history on how this country was founded....But when Joe and Jane Average finally stand up because they are so sick of this....What will they think when we throw our TEA PARTY...-

The members of the board of trustee's are approved by majhority vote of the stockholders of common stock once a year as required by Federal Law. Usually the stockholders will received a snail mail, e-mail notification of when and where the anual stockholder meeting is to be held and notification of the different slate of board members being nominated. Usually the stockholder will be asked to give his/her proxy vote for the total number of common shares he/she owns to a person to vote at the stockholders meeting. Sometimes even the top level of managment is also up for confiramtion by these common share stock holders.

Gas prices started increasing when we invaded Iraq on unsubstantiated intelligence reports. This mess was started baci in 1999 by Phil Graham and Bill Clinton. The reregulation of theses businesses was voted on by Republicans and Democrats and signed into office by Bill clinton. Probably the only mistake he made aside from NAFTA.

I hate to burst that bubble of misunderstanding that you have been living in but, all of this occurred because the Democrats did come into office and the rat traps were set and the rats were caught. Another thing, the Democrats only had so much power-that's how this wonderful system of ours works. The Republicans fought against everything good in congress that could've helped our country by the democrats. The Republicans caused a our government to have a lameduck congress-nothing could pass because the Republicans wouldn't let it happen.

Obama is not Muslim, he is Christian, with a family and lives in America in One home. Not like McCain who has 7 or more homes and doesn't have a clue what to do with the poor and middle class family. I guess it's true that it wouldn't matter what Obama does should he make it to the oval office...people just like to hate and that is so sad and this country is going to go down the tubes just because they love to hate

I think we need to sue these rotten CEOs! We the people have had to bail out their bad decisions and they should have to pay back their "golden parachutes" to the American people! What they have done is CRIMINAL and they need to be PUNISHED. Let me tell you if any of us main streeters had done something similar we would be fined and placed in the slammer. Seize all their bloated belongings and auction them off. And what about the AIG executives who spent $400,000 a week after we bailed out their company? Fire them and demand the money back!

Fuld is the perfect example of the "I/Me" growd. What could the shareholders possibly be thinking, letting pieces of garbage like him walk away with hundreds of millions of dollars. If it were me, Fuld would still be spitting teeth out. What an arrogant piece of garbage. May a herd of camels ..................!
