UNTRUE and quite inaccurate. He pledged 40 million

It is worse than I said.

An earlier bankruptcy declaration by a major corporation - the international communications giant, Global Crossing, last month - inflicted serious fiscal damage on one of the corporation's owners, Gary Winnick, the largest contributor to the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles. Winnick regularly donated approximately $100 million annually to Jewish causes.

Global Crossing never made a profit. Stockholders were wiped out. $12 billion in equity lost. Thousands unemployed. Yet Winnick made enough money off the bust to give away $100 million a year--much of it to a foreign country. And now Global Crossing is owned by Hutchinson Whampoa, a company controled by Communist China.

Israelis should be buying pizza for the Americans Winnick and his friends wiped out.

Got any specifics on that one? Of course not. I doubt his donations were given to Israel. This just shows how wild your accusations are. Some donations went to Israeli charities I suppose but I have no number and neither do you.

Great. I'm glad he gave some of his wealth to Jewish charities.  Better than squandering it on garbage like huge yachts in the Mediterranean. Global Crossing was a 100% legitimate company during some of it's years and the money Winnick earned was 100% legit those years

The money went to a good cause and this drives you batty.
