Because some people need to be knocked out

Do you know this man? His name is Dick Fuld, who saw Lehman Brothers crash like Courtney Love driving a tractor-trailer. The Telegraph reports an anecdote that Fuld went to the company gym after it was announced that Lehman was going under.

Following rumours that the incident had occurred, Vicki Ward, a US journalist, said "two very senior sources - one incredibly senior source" had confirmed it to her. "He went to the gym after ... Lehman was announced as going under," she told CNBC. "He was on a treadmill with a heart monitor on. Someone was in the corner, pumping iron and he walked over and he knocked him out cold."

Jeano: Did you see the part where he corrected the committee? He didn't make $480 million -- it was ONLY $300 million.

Still not enough punishment...

There's a few CEO's I would love to punch out myself! The government gives $700 billion dollars of our hard-earned money to bail them out and how do the AIG, company executives spend it? Less than a week later, they could be found wining and dining at one of the most exclusive resorts in the nation. The $440,000 resort trip included $13,000 worth of spa treatments, catered banquets and golf outings.

Yet I watch helplessly as my 401K and stocks plummet each day. I’ve lost hundreds of dollars this week alone. I’m beyond pissed!

James... I have heard that there is a video of this knockout somewhere, but with my blocked video status here at work, I can't locate it.

Funny how all this was timed just before the election and long after the primaries. I wonder how people would have felt about third party candidates if this had happened a year ago, since (I feel) that both parties are largely to blame for this mess.

Being punched was pretty gentle considering how I feel as a tax payer. I feel RAPED by these people. I feel even more disgust at the senators and representatives who voted for this crap.
