Todd Thomson Doesn’t Pay For Sex: He Gets Paid For It

By Bess Levin

todd_thomson.jpgThere’s an old saying that goes “You can nail the $Honey or you can nail your former employer for $25 million but you can’t do both.” Or at least there should be, we think; pretty much makes sense, right? Anyway, going with the assumption that there is such a saying, former “Citi” CFO Todd Thomson is rumored to be saying “Fuck it, you all can adhere to that old truism all you want but I’m going to have my cake and eat it too, in the biblical sense.” According to mostly credible DB sources, Thomson may indeed be given the sizeable sum to stay mum about inner-Citi (<--you liked that) turmoil, including dirt on CEO Charles Prince. This is a quasi-interesting turn of events in MariaGate, as it comes on the heels of a BusinessWeek article that essentially claimed that Thomson was a scapegoat whose errors were totally blown out of proportion to “obscure the disarray and dismal returns of Chuck Prince’s reign” (and if we’re going actually crunch the numbers on this one, a flight on a private jet from Asia is basically just a glorified dinner at Denny’s, so, mathematically speaking, there might be some truth to BW’S story). If Thomson is given his asking price, will the blood money be an admission of guilt on Citi/Prince’s part? $25 million seems like a lot to just say “Thanks for playing.”

    If you are telling me Maria Bartiromo paid this ugly bastard for sex…..no wonder I get sick when I see her or hear her name mentioned on CNBC. Congratulations CNBC you pushed the MariaGate button once too often.

    sounds like maria gets played more easily than mini-golf. hasn’t she read anything about judy miller? i’m sure the citi/CNBC favorbank will remain in good standing. every wallstreet man loves a vainglorious big-boned broadcaster who is so easy spin. they aren’t done with her yet, and she likes it that way.

    Too bad that no one seems to read and digest any of this stuff. People’s lives get changed for the better/worse and no one….no one really gives a damn. Do you?
