Wall Street’s Most Wanted

The
deck of playing cards has become the 21st century version of wanted
posters, trading cards or commemorative dinner plates. The Dowbrigade
still remembers the first deck of non-standard playing cards he ever
saw, at Beaver Camp for Boys, when he was 10 or 11. To this day he
finds himself strangely fascinated
by redheads with one boob bigger than the other, like that most memorable
8 of Hearts.

The latest entry in this Deck of Shame is the Wall Street’s Most Wanted,
which has selected its 54 miscreants on the basis of "Corporate Excesses,
Poor Corporate Goverance, Conflicts of Interest, Corporate Fraud and
Executive Greed."

The honorees include: Ken Lay, Jeff Skilling, Andrew Fastow, William
Harrison, Dennis Kozlowski, Martha Stewart, Richard Scrushy, Mark Swartz,
Don Carty. Harvey Pitt, Jack Welch, Putnam Investment, Bernie Ebbers,
Scott Sullivan and Frank Quattrone
