The blogosphere is buzzing over the ‘conflicts’ of Mike Arrington starting a $20 million fund and being the voice of TechCrunch.
The only happy person seems to be Goldman Sachs, who has snuck in another executive to a role in the government.
Her pay the last few years $57 million. She ran Goldman Sachs Asset Management so I would love to know how much she made from funds allocating to Madoff during her tenure.
Mike will put $20 million to work creating thousands of jobs.
Eileen will put her money in US treasuries and help the economy shrink.
The SEC will continue to suck balls.
Personally, I would like to see Arrington running the SEC and Eileen put up $20 million for my new fund which will buy The Chinese Yuan and short $AOL.
Infuriating times.
I just wish you would really tell it like it is some time, Howard… ;)
just my opinion…
but yes arrington would kick ass as sec chairman….
That’s a scary prospect Howard, but I wonder who would fear it the most, the public or the companies.
Howard,
I’d rather see Arrington as Warren Buffet’s tax adviser… hang on a minute, he already auditioned for that role, maybe not.
Or, how bout Rick Perry’s campaign finance director, that’s a better fit for his politics… could be a winner.
Wait a minute I know, he should just run for president. None of the current candidates could possibly understand the economy and employment sector dynamics to create jobs like Mike… yup, that’s a perfect fit. He’s got all the necessary characteristics too:
– diplomacy to work well with others
– humility to compromise and reach agreement with differing opinions
– executive leadership and discipline to manage teams, resources and, most of all, his emotions
C’mon Howard, please try and keep it real. Arrington’s style and grace have gotten him exactly what he deserves.
You SV elites really do have each other’s back don’t you?
Sorry, think your cynicism in this post just rubbed off on me.
Cheers
