Should Dick Fuld Walk Away?

Listen, we’re not going to be those stone throwing jerks who want to know when Dick Fuld’s going to get fired, or involuntarily resign. He is a person with feelings and beautiful eyebrows that cock a little less every time he Googles himself and sees the horrible things you people are saying about him. But. We’ve recently been informed that Brow Boy will receive more than $214 million if he gets up and walks away, provided he doesn’t “engage in conduct that is detrimental to the bank” (which presumes that he hasn’t already but whatever, DETAILS). So, on his own terms:

    With his $214 he should have enough money to retire and live out his days as a hobo/db commenter

    214 dollars is more than some bonuses will be this year… take it and RUN

    why is everyone on CNBC wearing glasses today? (melissa lee, gasparino, etc)

    How big is the package if Dick limps away?

    Aztecs will recognize this shape immediately. Commodity investors will also with a lag.

    If LEH give Fuld $214 million, they deserve to go out of business the very next day.

    wow, this is the first (and i’m sure last) time i’ve ever agreed with TGFD.

    gasparino gave a shout-out to dealbreaker this morning.
    it went something like this:
    even (chuckles under his breath) dealbreaker had some information about the lehman deal, so props to them for the story.
    the chuckle is what got me though… he must love all the gasparino comments.

    The $241 million was the value of his unvested equity awards. Considering the proxy was filed in early March when the stock was around $50, I’m gonna take a guess that that stock is not worth $241 million now. Although, 15% of $240 million is still a ton of money… if you assume he is fired and able to sell before the stock goes to $0.

    gasbagarino’s little chuckle is one of the main things I don’t like about that guy. it’s as if he thinks he’s knows more than the rest of us. he was beside himself this morning when leh didn’t release earnings right at 7:30. what schmuck (sp?).
    as for the glasses, he probably thinks it makes him more sophisticated/believable. I think melissa’s made her look fat…just sayin’

    Walk away? Are you kidding? He’s Dicky Fu, Master of the Universe. Masters of the Universe don’t walk away. They fire the board preemptively, install animated puppets, get a Cramer sound fx board, and ride this baby out!

    @27… that was hilarious…
    “I stood outside for hours this morning at lehmans, the least they could do is start the call at exactly 7:30… at least have someone push the button”
    I guess Lehman doesn’t know who they were messing with!

    @finance_baller– fuck you then.

    Hey #12, maybe the CNBC staff has pink eye…

  33. Posted by guest | September 11, 2008 at 12:14 AM

    I don’t give two hoots. I already lost my job at Lehman. About time Fuld lost his as well.

    GET OUT FULD.
