Fired SemGroup Prez: No Worries

Posted by Bess Levin, Jul 28, 2008, 9:52am

hootersgirl.jpgDeposed SemGroup chief executive and president Tom Kivisto told employees of the (voluntarily) bankrupt company on Saturday that things are going to be okay, though he refused to take questions from the media, only stating that "as the facts and truths surrounding this chain of events are revealed, the SemGroup employees will regain their trust in what they initially believed." This is obviously going to take years and a lot of red tape to sort through so I'm just going to ruin the surprise for you now-- it all leads back to Hooters. Though where the funeral homes come into play, I do not know.

Suddenly buffalo wings and beer for lunch seem like a really good idea.

I think if you probe the LoSC archives (see: Verizontal Consolidation), I think you'll find the answer...

so let me get this straight: mike mayo is popular because he a) makes contrarian calls b) downgraded C before Whitney did, and c) sarcastically told Thain on a confernece call that none of MER's peers did $8 billion of writedowns?

I believe Mayo told Stan O'Neal that.. I could be wrong though.

PS: Where can we get archives of all these fun conference calls? I miss listening to The Mayo.
