Hank’s favorite line: “All I need is a little unfair advantage.”
How true it was.

GOT MY OWN JET, THANKS
Members of Toronto’s chattering class recently received their subscription invitations to next year’s Grano Salon Speakers dinners, which will explore the notion of risk. “If we have learned anything from the financial upheaval, it is to cultivate a renewed appreciation of risk,” reads the invite.
Scheduled to speak to a dinner crowd of about 100 over four dates in the fall and winter are Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of The Black Swan; British writer Martin Amis; geopolitical guru Francis Fukuyama; and Hank Greenberg, former chairman and CEO of AIG.
Series co-founder and co-organizer Rudyard Griffiths tells us that while arranging the details of Mr. Greenberg’s talk he told the business bigwig’s executive assistant that the organizers would be happy to fly Mr. Greenberg to Toronto on business class using the points provided by Aeroplan, the travel partner to the Grano Series. “She got back to me immediately by e-mail and indicated that while Mr. Greenberg appreciated our offer, his private jet would be landing mid-afternoon in Toronto on the day of his talk and we should meet him at the Sky Service terminal,” Mr. Griffiths says. Mr. Greenberg is the first and the only speaker in the series’ six-year history to arrive in such style, somehow appropriate given his corporate alma mater.

@ Analyst
He deserves jail time just for being asleep at the wheel when AIG Built financial Chernobyl.
With any luck his dog will go ‘Ol Yeller and bite him. Best Doggone dog on Wall Street.
