Could have gotten a better deal for Crazy Eddie
1 comments

The Craziest part about Eddie was his business plan. Steal from your own company for 10 years, take the company public, gradually reduce your stealing over the course of 5 years to show a rapidly increasing profit margin, sell company to a hedge fund and cash out the profit. Then, go to jail for 8 years.
