#69682 RE: zipjet #69680

this is not the original intent of the survey anyway. i thought the idea was to put toegheter the worst executives for 08. Can we get that 1st and then the worst of all time at a later date? I think some of the ones listed for 08 may go on that list as well.

>I thought that Sam Waksal pushed (working tirelessly to raise funding) the drug through when few, if any others, believed in the MoA or utility of the drug.<

That’s true; however, a substantial portion of Waksal’s heroics occurred before ImClone’s IPO.

>If I have that right, he does not belong on the list of worst CEO's despite his illegal attempt to take advantage of the FDA setback.<

I’ll refine the survey so it pertains only to the period in which the individuals in question were the CEO of a publicly-traded company.
