Scott F. is a total douche. The guy who takes credit for other people's work, and deflects blame onto others. Why he keeps getting hired is beyond me. He used to date Amanda Grove (remember her, when CNBC wasn't all-Maria, all the time?) until she dumped his short, arrogant ass.

@16: My bad. I had to look it up - she was on CBS and did the Marketwatch segment. She was nice, I liked her. I just cannot stand Scott - he really thought he knew everything. Also, he and his family consider themselves Christian, and deny any Jewish-ness. Really? "Freidheim"? And the way he looks? His sibs too? Deny away, I'm sure that makes you a better person.
"Common indications of affiliation with a Hispanic gang include buttoning only the top button of one's shirt accented with bright colors (on right) or wearing long rise pants above one's hips (on left)."
Scott was Dick's assistant, wrote all those inspirational speeches Dick was so beloved for. Later made CAO in the Fuld/Gregory tradition of promoting yes-men who would never threaten their jobs.
Totally inconsequential and over his head.
"Scott began his career in investment banking in Chicago at John Nuveen & Co. In 1991, he joined Lehman Brothers’ Investment Banking Division. In 1996, he took the position of Chief of Staff for Lehman Brothers’ Chairman and CEO Richard S. Fuld, Jr. Since then, he has held a number of senior positions such as Global Head of Strategy from 2005 to 2007 and Global Head of Corporate Communications, Marketing & Brand Strategy and Advertising from 2003 to 2007. Freidheim was appointed Co-CAO in October 2006."
48 LEH did get bailed out - like Bear did. And Fuld's fate is similar to Cayne's. There's a difference between getting caught in a liquidity crisis (GS, JPM, MS) and operating in such a way as to destroy the entire capital base of your firm.
I do think that had LEH not been allowed to fail - they did fail - and had either GS or MS not been rescued back in Sept and been the test-case for failure, I wonder where they'd be today.
As TGFD recalls, clients & counterparties were pulling away from GS & MS so fast back in Sept (a la Bear), that those two criminal enterprises wouldn't have lasted 2 days (a la Bear) had not Hank Paulson given them bank charters and billions.
Frankly, at the time, my preference was to see the two of them, especially GS, vanish. Unfortunately, that didn't happen, and GS is setting-up to rule the f'n economy again.

TGFD believes that Dick Fuld would still be a respected Wall Streeter if LEH got bailed out the way Blankfein, Mack, and Dimon did.
Fuld was the failed "let-'em-fail" test case that saved the asses of the other three stooges.
Now Fuld is just an object of scorn.
