Sandy is just a fearless, visionary business man with a big appetite for food and companies, the larger the better. We have to give him credit as a business man he came from nothing to the top of corporate America. Unfortunately, business at some point can't go on the same hand than good human values and you have to decide which one is your option with all the consequences that may bring to your life. Take it easy Sandy
Charity begins at home, especially when that's where the pillaging and plundering of job-loss victims and health ravaged bankrupt credit card victims are. The credit card industry creates more grief on shore than a few conscience absolvers can offset making a show of charity off shore. Hypocrisy personified! Dante is salivating!
Dear Mr.Rose, Your interview with Mr.Weill was such a thriller.Thanks for the soulful enlightenment you give your viewers. I was deeply impressed by Mr.Weill's philantropy.It is obvious that Sub-Saharan Africa is a scar on the conscience of the world. Its enormous wealth not-withstanding,majority of the people still live in abject poverty.There is a way out of the mess,apart from what international agencies recommend. I will be very pleased if Mr.Weill's philantropy next time will be for those who need it most.I promise to be of assistance if contacted. Rev.Fr.Vincent Chimezie SMMM.
For each conscience assuaging philanthropic African benefactee, Mr. Weill should name the proportional number of benefactors. Example, for each African-African recipient he should memorialize the scammed American-Africans and Euro-Americans by citing five to ten by name for each donatee. They after all are the real donors. Mr. Weill is merely the middle-man. The agent provocateur of OPM. He will of course forgo all tax benefits as a charitable contribution to the scene of the origination of his oh so generous and compassionate OPM donation. God bless him. Gotta go. Gettin all choked up.

I enjoyed getting to know Mr. Weill. I would like to contact him regarding his philathropic deeds. How can I contact him? Thanks for your show. It is bright light in the television world.
Citibank et al have been given a license to steal that they have exercised to the utmost. These bandits allegedly decry regulation until they get the type that enables them to bleed the hoards inflicted with human frailties. Exploit them by lowering the minimum payments, giving them undeserved credit limits and promoting unbridled spending and borrowing. Then to assuage their conscience they get all philanthropic with the blood money they've extorted all their professional lives. Totally disingenuous bull shit!!! Dante awaits, I hope.
For concrete examples (100+/-) of predatory, blood-sucking exploitation and shoddy business practices see . . . http://www.consumeraffairs.com/finance/citibank.htm
Look closely! Then ponder. Would you buy a used car from this guy?
Citigroup is a puppy-kicking, scumbag predatory exploiter of humankind. Personally mismanaged my CASH balance account to a costly amount trying to loan me my own money. Blood suckers! Further their financial wise-guys engaged heavily in the egregious greed of entrapping victims in the subprime loan debacle. Made NINJA loans (no income, no job, no assets) solely for the fees, then sold them in the secondary mkt. Arabs bailed them out at 11% on multi-billions. They and their counterparts of venal whores have done near irreparable damage. These wise-guys combined with the M-I complex types and big oil hegemony victimizers have come close to scuttling our system indefinitely. Charity will not offset the predatory thievery these types indulge in all their professional lives. These wise-guys loudly become philanthropical with OPM they mercilessly extracted for decades. Give the extorted money back to their exploited customers - not to Africans.
I remembered he wanted to resign his career with citi quite a while ago? It was a laughing stock among execs in the financial world, because some people knew he was running away from the shit he has created. A shit so huge that citi is what it is today. Strangely, he stayed on & even published a book to put up a nice front. However, when asked to takeover back from CP, he refused? ...because he didn't want to clean up his own shit?

I enjoyed the interview with Sandy Weill and a bet he would find mind boggling my next article that is almost ready for publication regarding the investments of sovereign wealth funds and a plan that I have for Brazils economic development. I am studying many options to put the plan into action since I have outstanding family connections in Brazil among the political elite and major bankers. I will try to send a copy of my next article directly to Sandy Weill if I can get hold of his direct email. Here is another article that I wrote on that subject.
