Faced with the possibility of unloading all or part of its credit card business, Vik and the boys decided they were not going to accept any low-ball offers from the likes of Jeff Immelt. While contemplating either an outright sale of the unit to GE or joining their credit card operations in a joint venture, Citi wanted a premium for its branded and private label cards. As delinquency rates head towards multi-decade highs, this seems like perfect timing for Citi to rely on its ability to raise rates enough to account for its rigorous underwriting standards. Or maybe they just know the recession is over and there is nothing to worry about.

Don’t know what’s more ironic – C wanting a premium, or GE talking shop with C.
Greg, su madre camina las calles en la noche. Ella lame las bolas de los burros para el dinero.
@1 thrown on top of that Greg is writing about it. Its the holy trinity of douchebaggery!
Wow…I actually managed to read that entire post without my eyes glazing over or me thinking of new ways to fornicate with your mother.
I swear to Shiva you will regret your words!
Here is your slushi. That will be $1.57, please.
Well done Greg! What do you say to the idea of starting the 4th of July weekend a little early and ending today on a high note?
2- please keep it up, I am almost fluent. I learned Swedish in a similar way- from porn.

Kudos for supporting your boyfriend and protecting him from the meanies in such a trying time in his career. I’m sure he has something special planned for you this weekend.

Ruth Madoff is homeless!
Feds seizing the penthouse.
Who has a couch for Ruthie to crash on this weekend?
@11, what’s that, Esperanto?
While the barbs keep flying at Greg, I do have to wonder how many of the comedic geniuses here have e-mails in their inbox from Bess with an offer to take his place.

12 The fact that its being seized is old news. Who said its happening today? Source please. Otherwise, STFU

If you must know, Greg and I plan to slather your mother with butter and barbeque sauce prior to inserting our “rods” into opposing ends of her. She’ll of course gleefully oblige our little role playing escapade by squealing like a greedy little piggy as we slowly spin her around on the poles we’ve so kindly provided.
Provided she doesn’t smell of New England clam bake (as is so often the case), I’m pretty sure that our little “cookout” will be more fun than whatever you might have planned. It’s a Fourth of July tradition!
Thanks for asking,
HH
P.S. That’s gotta sting a little bit, no?
12 With some of her $2.5M she’ll buy a condo. There certainly are a lot of empty ones around town. And no board to keep her out, like a co-op. May cause you condo people to reconsider your “I hate co-op’s” stance.
