Light The Arrows!

By Bess Levin

How’d you like to get this on your “360 Review?”:

Citigroup “did not manage its business in such a manner as to provide the level of service and security necessary for any security broker and the plaintiff to attract and/or retain clients,” he wrote. The bank was “unstable, mismanaged and not a secure place for” his clients, “as can be seen from the value of defendant’s stock today.”

Ah, hindsight is 20-20. Nay?
Sure, this missive issued from a member of the Plaintiff’s bar, but you just have to like an article that manages to cut Castle Vikula’s supply line, lay a devastating siege and begin tunneling under the north wall all in about three sentences.
Nice.

    Bess- you should post 3 “blind” posts and ask the detritus on this site (myself included) to identify the author! That should put to rest the quarrel regarding the different levels of talent on DB.. I am just sayin.. I am just sayin’ is all..

    @6 anyone who’s read this site for more than one day can easily identify the bl/ep/gm posts. they all have extremely different writing styles. I am just sayin.. I am just sayin’ is all..

    My nipples are still chafing. Is there any way to make a healing balm out of rubber cement, coffee grounds and Sweet’N Low?

    I miss the “heckler’s heckler” who came in and started dishing it back to those who dished it to EP and GM while BL was on vacay.
