Tuesday, June 2, 2009 - Meggy goes down - in flames Part XXXVIIIII - Mrs Charisma bores everyone shitless.
Yes my Dears, you the great unwashed, the revolting peasants etc.,
Meggy has been pushing press releases out the back door, like huge terds out a cows arse.
Meggy gets the endorsement of Y -
Yadda, Yadda, Yaddddaaaa.......
Blah, blah, blah.......
Like WHO CARES.
She - being greedy and stupid, and running her completely unethical business practices - backed up by a team of "scumbag lawyers" and executives - as the Ebay CEO - have so BADLY burnt soooooo many people, that she hasn't just ruffled a few feathers, she has really screwed with and trashed the lives of millions.....
Thanks to Meggy - much of Ebay's income, is obtained from fencing stolen goods, fakes and fraud - and the staples for organised crime - so "dim-Whitman" can be proud of that too.
The only people she has in tow, consist of nothing more than a sack of leeches out for a trip to the blood bank on the tax payers money; or people like John McCain who's admits to lying his arse off and he was clued on enough to pick Sarah Palin as his vice whatever....
The fact that the only cards left in the deck for Whitman are the endorsements of sleazy people - well it says plenty about "Mrs Charisma" - doesn't it.
So unless she does something really remarkable (read remarkably bad, or stupid); or
She does something worthwhile like upping and dying; or
She spouts more of her "MY" Ebay community tripe - who are the people she put guns to their heads - and said pay up even more or leave Ebay; and then said pay up even more - many times after that; and they really sink the boots in;
Then there is nothing more to add about her for the foreseeable future.
Oh wait.... yes there is - it's a rehash of what a thieving scheming terd she is and the kind of vile company she keeps - like the Enron CEO Kenny Lay for instance;

"It's like this:
Meg Whitman was the CEO of eBay. EBay's investment bankers were Goldman Sachs. EBay didn't have to hire Goldman Sachs to be their investment bankers, because this was a few years ago, when there were lots of banks, and not just the three we keep bailing out. Goldman Sachs was very grateful for eBay's business and they had a special way of showing their gratitude to eBay's executives. Goldman Sachs would let them buy shares in other companies whose initial public offerings they were underwriting. This was during the dot-com era and IPO companies often posted huge first-day gains. After Meg Whitman brought eBay's business to Goldman Sachs, she bought shares in 100 Goldman Sachs IPOs one day and sold them the next day. She made 1.78 million dollars.
It was a good day's work.
Don't think of it as a kickback. Think of it like Discover, the Card that Pays You Back.
Former SEC commissioner Steve Wallman had a less nice way to describe it:
"It's a black-and-white corporate bribery issue."
Who else was getting Goldman Sachs' insider trading frequent flier miles? People like the hardworking executives at WorldCom and Enron chairman Kenny Lay.
The process was called "spinning." Sorry, you're not allowed to do it anymore.
In 2002, a House Financial Services Committee found out about it. And so did eBay stockholders, who then sued their own executives for breaching their fiduciary responsibilities to the company by insider trading and not bringing enough for everyone.
Whitman and other eBay executives settled the suit by paying three million dollars, while denying that any of the allegations were true. Goldman Sachs kicked in another 300 grand.
By complete and total coincidence, Meg Whitman had been given a seat on the board of Goldman Sachs. She was forced to resign in disgrace. She'd been there 14 months."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Lay
Kenneth Lee "Ken" Lay (April 15, 1942 – July 5, 2006) was an American businessman, best known for his role in the widely-reported corruption scandal that led to the downfall of Enron Corporation. Lay and Enron became synonymous with corporate abuse and accounting fraud when the scandal broke in 2001. Lay was the CEO and chairman of Enron from 1985 until his resignation on January 23, 2003, except for a few months in 2000 when he was chairman and Jeffrey Skilling was CEO.
On July 16, 2002, Lay was indicted by a grand jury on 11 counts of securities fraud and related charges.[1] On January 31, 2006, following four and a half years of preparation by government prosecutors, Lay's and Skilling's trial began in Houston. Lay was found guilty on May 25, 2006, of 10 counts against him; the judge dismissed the 11th. Because each count carried a maximum 5- to 10-year sentence, legal experts said Lay could have faced 20 to 30 years in prison.[2] However, he died while vacationing in Snowmass, Colorado on July 5, 2006, about three and a half months before his scheduled October 23 sentencing.[3] Preliminary autopsy reports state that he died of a heart attack caused by coronary artery disease. As a result of his death, on October 17, 2006, the federal district court judge who presided over the case vacated Lay's conviction.[4]
On July 7, 2004, Lay was indicted by a grand jury in Houston, Texas, for his role in Enron's collapse. Lay was charged, in a 65-page indictment, with 11 counts of securities fraud, wire fraud, and making false and misleading statements. The trial commenced on January 30, 2006, in Houston, despite repeated protests from defense attorneys calling for a change of venue on the grounds that "it was impossible to get a fair trial in Houston" – the epicenter of Enron's collapse. Enron's bankruptcy, the biggest in U.S. history when it was filed in December 2001, cost 20,000 employees their jobs and many of them their life savings. Investors lost billions."[2] Before Lay was put on trial he was estimated to have a gross wealth of approx. 40 million US dollars. It is believed that most of it was spent on legal defense. During his trial, Lay claimed that in 2001 Enron stock made up about 90 percent of his wealth, and that his current net worth (in 2006) was in the negative by $250,000. He insisted that Enron's collapse was due to a "conspiracy" waged by short sellers, rogue executives, and the news media.[8] It was reported that Lay's congenial reputation took a blow as he appeared confrontational and irritable at several points during his testimony.[2] On May 25, 2006, Lay was found guilty on all six counts of conspiracy and fraud by a jury of eight women and four men. In a separate bench trial, Judge Lake ruled Lay was guilty of four counts of fraud and false statements. Sentencing was scheduled to take place on 11 September 2006, but was later rescheduled for 23 October 2006.[9]
A number of books have been written on Lay and Enron including Conspiracy of Fools (2005), Icarus in the Boardroom, The Tao of Enron: Spiritual Lessons from a Fortune 500 Fallout (2002), The Smartest Guys in the Room (2003), 24 Days, and Power Failure. The Smartest Guys in the Room was adapted into a documentary film titled Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, released in 2005.
Margaret Cushing "Meg" Whitman has her snout in the trough with the best of them.
