Slog - Comments on Have Some Punch! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/have_some_punch I'm typically against violence, but for this, I'll make an exception: 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. Read the full report here. (And thank you, Slog tipper SeMe.)...

Fuld earned a half-billion dollars at Lehman, $45 million last year. He's doing JUST FINE.

BTW, what kind of a prong declares his company is bankrupt and then goes to the company gym?

"Ward determined Fuld deserved the beating based on his testimony before the committee."
What kind of statement is that in a news article? Not that I disagree, but to state it as a "fact" instead of just how you feel about the douchebag is a little strange.

I mean, you've just announced the firm is going under, everyone hates you, why not go spend some time amongst the "people". I'm sure everyone was looking at him thinking, what the fuck, doesn't he have other things he should be doing right now?

Well at least he'll have his $450 MILLION to fall back on.

Not that I ever actually would! But the thought makes me all warm inside.
