Oops...just saw it down there.

I felt bad, for just 0.00000006th of a milli second. There was a time in that period that I was just inconsolable. But I got over it and am now moving on.

The real shame isn't that he died is that he never was held to account for screwing tens of thousands of hard working people out of sheer greed. I hope that bastard rots.

The timing and location of his “heart attack” seems awfully suspicious to me. The morning after the 4th, surrounded by his family celebrating/saying goodbye at their lovely mtn retreat…

He abandoned his employees, stockholders and now even justice. He is a coward...

Hmmmm, anybody check his potassium levels? Not that I'm sad he went, just an interesting timeframe for the heart attack.

I want to see a DNA check on the body.

Big money can get you out of a lot of things.

Maybe after all of his hypocritical piety God decided that prison would be too good for him and sent him on to his eternal reward a bit early.
