Soooooo. Here’s what Jimmy Cayne had to say about about a bunch of some notable CEOs, as noted by noted by Charlie Gasparino’s new book, When Mooks Fail:
Cayne usually had nothing but disdain for most of his fellow CEOs on Wall Street. He had once referred to former NYSE chairman Dick Grasso as a “pig” for his attept to cash out his $140 million retirement package even after Cayne, then a NYSE board member, approved the move. Morgan Stanley CEO John Mack was a “bullshit artist”‘ Hank Paulson, when he was the CEO of Goldman, was simply a “snake.” Cayne had even less tolerance for Sandy Weill, and even as he considered selling Bear to JPMorgan Chase chief Jamie Dimon, he told friends that he wasn’t crazy about Dimon because he was a “screamer.”
So Jamie Dimon is a “screamer.” Okay. Here’s what JC had to say about Stan O’Neal, the greatest CEO on Wall Street, present company not included, of course.
