>There aren't many CEO's who've cost their companies and themselves more pain than Sam [Waksal] did. He ripped off his company, shorted its stock, got caught, lost his fortunes and went to jail. Hell, the other CEO's only ran their companies into the ground.<

Good point, jbog—Sam Waksal could well be the worst biotech CEO in history.

However, Waksal has been out of office for almost seven years. Perhaps we should have a separate survey question for Worst Biotech CEO—Lifetime Achievement Award.
