Dennis Kozlowski is the poster child for gluttony, avarice, greed and arrogance. He is the epitome of the weak link of capitalism gone wild in the same league as Ken Lay, Bernie Madoff and many others of the day.

Uh, Ken Lay's employees all lost their jobs and Bernie Madoff's clients all lost their money.

Dennis company is rockin' and rollin' and continues to hire people and grow. See post #1 of this thread.

Tyco stock went from $90 to $20 with Kozlowski's demise and has regained back up to the $36 range in spite of him not because of him.

Exactly! They need to get him back. He grew TYCO by 1,000 fold.

Actually, he grew it from $6/share when he took over in the early 90's by about 1500%. Tyco should get him back if they could be assured he wouldn't rape & pillage the coffers again.

For your privately held companies that's fine...for publicly traded companies, not so much. For anyone buying into Tyco between 1997 and 2001 he would have lost you a ton of money that is now being recouped. The ends do not justify the means.
