"Nothing is happening just yet. One more screw up and he is definitely gone. Based on what I'm hearing, it's fluid. Does this mean Pandit's out? Probably not, but maybe so. He's got like half a mistake left. Unless the board gives him more leeway. I don't know; I'm not in the board meetings." -- Charlie Gasparino, CNBC, 11/25/08
Chaz is right, you know. The only question is, what will the the career (at Citi) ending fuck up be? The sources I'm talking to have mentioned four possible scenarios. The situation is fluid but what they're telling me thus far is that it'll be one of the following:
A. Vikram gets wasted and confesses to Meredith Whitney that C's balance sheet is "completely made up." Follows up with a drunk email (from his work account, natch), that Gary Crittenden "selects random bar code numbers in place of the true horror story that will soon engulf this cesspool and consign it to the scrap heap of corporate history."
B. Not knowing it's verboten, VP is caught using Bob Rubin's private bathroom.
C. Not knowing it's frowned upon, VP engages in sexual intercourse with the cleaning woman on his desk. Pleads ignorance, but it's too late.
D. Truly accidentally but unacceptably nonetheless, Mr. Pandit accidentally grazes Prince Alwalweed's favorite wife's left breast.

oil is what, $54, bitches so:
Ali's fav wife from (d) = cleaning woman form (c) and btw BR's private bathroom from (b) = Vikki's desk from (c)
So I guess b-d

I find the situation becomes very fluid when I wax on and wax off.
We're having a sale at the pet store this weekend bitches. So stop on bi we'll have a gay old time at Uncle Pete's Big Dirty Meat Pet Emporium 917-359-5025. All monkeys are now behind Plexiglass so they can't throw a wad at you anymore. You know the old saying, "all it takes is one monkey with a hand full of jizz to ruin it for everyone."
FYI for you cluzo, regarding the b-milk in the frig, I always leave enough for the baby. What, did you think I was some kind of animal or something.

So wait, what did Pandit bring to the table to Citi?
- Sold POS Old Lane to C
- Put over $216M into his pocket personally
- Oversaw a price drop from $33.23 to $3.05
Note to companies: You're supposed to outsource IT to India, not Management.

One of the sharpest energy traders I know told me long ago to never make fun of the cleaning ladies or the ugliest woman on the desk because the CEO is probably bangin' her on the side like a screen door in a hurricane.
I have observed it to be true on more than one occasion. Not so sure about financial traders though.

It's the entire board that should be removed, just as was suggested in the NY Post. Citi's board is feeble and inept.
Not big fan of Vikula, but no one - and I MEAN NO ONE - is up to this challenge.
Critt and Vik are just plowing through this one - they didn't create this mess.
