The Sick And Twisted Mind Of Vikram Pandit

Posted by Bess Levin, Jan 29, 2008, 11:22am

High ranking sources at Citigroup tell belated-birthday boy Charlie Gasparino that CEO Vikram Pandit is in favor of keeping the comically overweight bank large and in charge (the exact phrasing was "Jiminy Glick-esque"). This is crazy and maybe worthy of a siren because no one at Citigroup has ever expressed resistance regarding breaking up the big C. This is completely new and radical. This is such a drastic change in ideology from the last couple of Citigroup CEO's that CNBC insiders say Charlie's been wearing one of those foam neck braces to deal with the ensuing whiplash, though that probably has less to do with shock vis-a-vis Citi and more to do with trying to make a killing at his small claims court appearance later this afternoon, when he'll argue that "that guy came out of nowhere and rear ended me and I'm not leaving without my fucking money."
