Dunlap is on the lists of "Worst CEOs of All Time" published by several business publications.[7][8] Fast Company noted that Dunlap "might score impressively on the Corporate Psychopathy checklist"[9][10] and in an interview, Dunlap freely admitted to possessing many of the traits of a psychopath, but considered them positive traits such as leadership and decisiveness.[11][12] He was a major benefactor of Florida State University.[13]

(5,263 posts)Mitt Romney and his company Bain Capitol come to mind. Another vulture capitalist know as "Chainsaw Al" was Albert Dunlap. Sadly the list is much longer. Vulture capitalism has and still is destroying corporate America and the lives of many Americans. If we want to blame something for the downfall of the middle class, look at vulture capitalism.

He uses other people's (and taxpayers') money to line his own pockets, and he expects praise, gifts and tributes from well-wishers. But he has no idea how to manage a profitable business any more than he can lead a useful government. All these rookie mistakes are being made at our expense.
Justice matters.

(41,801 posts)I don't think the liquidation sale is doing him any good though. It's other billionaires and tech-bros that are benefiting from the liquidation, so they will pony up in other ways. Chump can't collect donations for his next campaign because he can't run again.

This guy, left to his own devices, would bankrupt the military.
