Look, I'm no Cramer groupie, but it sounds to me as though you are deliberately confusing a suggestion to a CLIENT of Bear that his money is safe with a recommendation to a SHAREHOLDER of Bear not to sell his stock.

My reading of the exchange is that the guy was a client. If so, his money will now be at JPM.

It sounds as though Citigroup dumped their bad paper on a bunch of unsuspecting mom & pop investors. I'm sure the lawyers estimated the losses from lawsuits beforehand.

But, how does His Majesty Bob Rubin continue to avoid criticism for Citi's sleazy behavior? And isn't this yet another black eye for Mrs. Clean?

I'd like to see Bob Rubin do the perp walk. These low level guys were sacrificed, so the real crooks, like the phony Rubin, could maintain the facade of being above the fray.

It might be the other way around eventually if Pandit stays at the helm.

I wonder how much money McKinsey has taken from Citi shareholders to put this garbage into Pandit's mouth.
