Surely not! But I am sure the rosy picture painted for that sale was not the distinctly unrosy picture discussed in the boardroom.

I'd class it along with selling TB-infected blankets to the North Anerican Indians in the annals of heinous crimes.

Come on. TB blankets?

Carlyle sold a turd on its "good" name. One has to be be very greedy and stupid to trust Carlyle's "good" name and keep your shirt on.

Big sharks luring and eating smaller sharks. That's all it is.

Not in a mood for hermeneutics.

Very bad day. Not for me but for people I appreciate and respect.

Interestingly enough, Carlyle is involved.
