It’s Not Over ’til It’s Over

Occasionally, we have readers who request specific information. One tenacious reader has repeatedly expressed interest in one topic of conversation: Maria and Todd. (Yes, you thought the topic was dead. And it was. But not for a man we’ll call “Bob”.) “Bob” would like more information re: the $ Honey and Todd Thomson and what we’re planning to do about the whole thing; we figured your opinions would help us help “Bob” greatly. Yes, No, Maybe? Do it for “Bob.”

Hi Jack Carney and Bess Levin,
Tried to locate a phone on you but, no dice. PLEASE…Please call or write me about the end result of the Maria Bartiromo/Todd Thomson thing. Could it be an illicit sexual affair???? I realize without proof…pictures, video and the like…you’d be open for litigation. I haven’t seen a paper say the two were unfaithful to each others spouses…same medicine. How about Bartiromo guilty of adultery with Thomson.
I believe they had it going. I wanted to hear from you. it was like Maria Bartiromo refuse dto be interviewed…(period) End of story. Todd Thomson could not be reached for comment…(period)…end of story. Anybody think to try again? GOD spoke in the form of CNBC officials: Maria has done nothing improper/wrong….(period)….end of story.
The 11 or 12 trips in the Citigroup jet to places where Maria spoke…probably cool going…but, what do you think they did coming home???? Right.
I won’t belabour this…you helped display the story and we all believe if they were going to fire Thomson over the China jet (the two alone)…then they shoulda fired Bartiromo.
Remember the your post Bess, Date Feb. 27…Bad day at Black Rock.
The cfo referred to Thomson.
The Maria…Bartiromo.
Someone ought to start digging again…and why…WHY…HAVE WE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM THE WRONGED HUSBAND?….Jonathan Steinberg. Give him a call at Individual Investing.
Thanks….
Bob

Hey Bess…
I have only recently begun to follow Dealbreaker and now I think I am hooked. Fascinated by the “CNBC Get Animated” piece. Are you insinuating that all Todd Thomson got from Maria was some head? I wish someone would come out with a video or a DVD soemthing to nail the two. I still think it sucks that Thomson even though he was aggressive, lost his position and Maria still works. I find it strange that Maria left N.Y. Monday nite the 19th and she isn’t asked to report from there until tomorrow (Thursday the 22nd) whats she doin’ with all that time? Have you found if Todd Thomson has joined her there?????? Keep swingin. Bob.

Bess,
Maria Bartiromo very happily stated, “next week we’ll be coming for London…some economic summit.” This was Sunday nite’s WSJ report. Maybe you can check if she’ll be flying PRIVATE or COMMERCIAL. Too bad GE can’t afford a plane for one of their own…isn’t it? No more Citigroup.

Hard copy of a post about the $H and TT. Whole thing circled and a note that reads: DON’T FORGET ABOUT THIS.

And the latest:

(NB: Each of these letters came with a self-addressed stamped envelope. Don’t think we won’t be peeling those off for personal use.)

    Now that’s just sad. There’s something creepy about their obsession with Maria and Todd. I guess they’re not getting enough at home. Find a new hobby, folks.

    I’m not sure I agree with you…when shareholders’ resources are being squandered away by executives on glamorous molls, one needs to examine this issue in more details (titillating or not).

    Sexy is actually having sex, not reading about someone else having sex. That’s just pathetic.

    i have a feeling bob dispenses financial advice from the local bus stop, while yelling about the second coming.

    Matt….you stupid bastard….were not talking finance here we’re talking morals….of which I am sure you have none.

    Could that be Liz Claman’s handwriting…?

    Come on guys…..if you could…..who would be the better of the two to have a swingin good time with……Liz or Maria?

    I took the time to download the complete archives posted by Dealbreaker and all other publications. If any of the print can be trusted, they were seeing each other 18 + months. Were seen having dinner. Were known to have shared many jet trips, not CNBC business. Visits to the posh Todd Mahal in Citi Building. Five millions spend on a risk and the 50,000 dollar China to N.Y. trip. Put em all together with the reminder that Maria owns 1000 shares of Citigroup stock or did, unless Todd Thomson is gay, as someone eluded to before, they almost assuredly had a sexual affair…..not just one. Maybe soon a divorce story like the Paula Zahn one…eh?

    Anonymous…..get your finger out of your ass, put it in your mouth and pretend that you have some taste….jeez.

  15. Posted by anonymous | April 6, 2007 at 1:13 PM

    You guys are real sad sacks, obsessing over Maria and Todd. You sound like a bunch of old ladies. Get a life!

    GM – Maybe you beg to differ because you don’t have a sex life…?

  17. Posted by GM | April 6, 2007 at 1:26 PM

    Actually Bess wrote that pretending to be me. Thanks Bess.

    If Bess is reading these….back on Feb 27 one of your reader/investment workers at CITI sent a memo by email that infamous stockmarket day inferring that “its not over between our ex cfo and Maria”. NOW would be a good time to update us so we all can participate.
