Ken Lewis: If I’m Going Down, Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke Are Coming Down With Me
New York Magazine ^ | 2/4/10 | Jessica Pressler

No WAY is Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis going to be the only one to answer for the acquisition of crappy Merrill Lynch and its crappy bonuses, "a person close to Lewis's defense team" (who may or may not be Ken Lewis himself) tells Charlie Gasparino today on the Daily Beast. NO WAY will he be a scapegoat, alone, for the people who twisted his arm to go through with the Merrill deal by telling him he would be fired if he didn't. "If this thing goes to trial you can expect both Paulson and Bernanke to be on the witness list." If he's going down, he's bringing them down, too. Bringing them down to Chinatown. Order in the court!

I have recently seen a movie or TV program where the bad guy carried a device to slaughter cattle in commercial operations.It used compressed air and when applied to the skull brought instant death and produced a nice round hole in the skull.

I’m convinced that’s what killed Ron Brown and was noted in the autopsy

The ghost of Vince Foster will be visiting Mr Lewis.

Lewis, take them down, all of them.

Don't forget Ron Brown.

No kidding.

The death of Ron had Bill relieved and happy.
