I was reading an article that quoted his wife about what a great guy he was. It reminded me of Ken Lay's wife talking about her families liquidity problems after the Enron collapse. Hundreds of employees lost everything and she's griping about liquidity.
We had that last year in Ohio when Householder was sentanced to 20 years prison for his roll in the bribery scandal. He cried about hard that was going to be on his family and the judge told him "you should have thought about that before accepting those bribes."
I got news for you, buddy.

Of course he is. It'll only happen if he's of some value to Trump. Everything with Donald Trump is transctional.
Fuck that guy. The worst part, we're still paying for his fucking corrupt bullshit.
I saw one that had a different relative say he was an honest person and hard worker.
This honest person's company had $290 billion in insurance premium revenue in 2023 and they had $22 billion in profit. I always knew insurance was a grift but holy fuck.
And the company rewarded him with a $10 million compensation package in 2023. No living person works hard enough in a single year to earn multiple lifetime's of average worker wages.
cEoS wOrK tHe HaRdEsT!
Someone else in another thread said their friend inherited a billion dollars and is the hardest working person they've ever met and I honestly couldn't help but laugh out loud.
I love reading Melon Husk's claim that he works 100 hours a week. He's the CEO of five companies, which means even if his claim is true, being a CEO is a 20-hour-a-week job.
i wonder what job the hardest working person they ever met does? gotta be something like alaskan crab fisher or deep sea welder. definitely not some bullshit email job.
"Hardest working" at pulling their own dick
Being honest and a hard worker could be used to describe a hit man. Working hard at something unethical isn't a virtue.
Honestly 10M is pretty small for a CEO of a company that size (especially on 22B in profit).
United health group listed 5 executives in their def14a filing which details executive compensation of 5 executives. Brian was the 4th executive, the ceo of the united health group was awarded 23 million and then there were two others who got 16 million. Overall it came out to about 75 million. Which i agree is less than i was expecting for 22B profit but it is still multiple lifetime's of wages for an average worker
They'll probably have to offer more now.
Which one was it now?!
Ken Lay who tooooootally died before being sentenced and toooootally didn't disappear into a foreign country
I see that a lot with out-of-touch folks, boomers especially.
