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 Vicky Ward said Fuld was attacked at the gym on a Sunday following the bankruptcy.
“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.
Business and Media Institute hey.. can't he afford a treadmill at home? SERIOUSLY ...!! He may not be worth $1B anymore, but he's gotta be good for $100 million. Surely he can get a treadmill on Craislist, esp in Greenwich.
I understand the fellow employees frustration but no it's not polite to hit.
