Hey, I was watching CNBC today, and their reporter Hank Greenberg came on, referencing the entire interview that they had done with Langone, who was head of the compensation committee for the NYSE.
Okay, Langone is bitter enemies with Spitzer because of Spitzer's over the top tactics.
CNBC had to go back into their archives to find the portion of the tape that Greenberg was talking about, and indeed played it after the break. It is referenced here. I just can't find that portion of the interview on a video.
http://dealbreaker.com/2008/03/langone_spitzer_is_a_hypocrite.php Oh, wait. Not all of Spitzer's targets are keeping as quiet as Grasso, Blodget and Greenberg. Last night CNBC caught up with Ken Langone, a former director of the New York Stock Exchange, near the Tribeca Grill. He wasn't exactly reserved about his feelings for the soon-to-be former New York governor.
"I had no doubt about his lack of character and integrity," Langone said on a taped interview that was aired on Squawk Box this morning. "It would only be a matter of time. I didn't think he would do it this soon or the way he did. But I know for sure he went to a post office and bought $2,800 worth of money orders to send to a hooker."
Greenberg's point was, how would he know that? The answer is obvious. Yes, people were out to get Spitzer. He made a lot of enemies, like Langone. Most likely they hired some private detectives and then turned him into the Feds.
I think that is what probably happened. To that I say, Spitzer is about the stupidest brazen person ever. How could he not see this coming?
