You must be Thompson, married to him or one of his children. Second, Thompson, literally, by himself, through terrible judgment, a big ego and very little to no understanding of how a bank and its many parts operate, destroyed thousands and thousands and thousands of jobs of loyal Wachovia employees. He destroyed their lives, their wealth, their retirement and on and on. He walked away with millions of dollars and they walked away with very little to nothing for their loyalty and their misplaced respect. The destruction of wealth he caused for thousands and thousands and thousands of innocent and believing shareholders is, truly, unbelievable. It probably amounted to $120 billion of loss. The comments were harsh? Actually, it was very mild compared to what should have been said. Ask yourself how many thousands lost their homes, could not send their children to college, could not pay medical bills, lost most of their savings and so forth and so forth. What have these people who wrote notes accomplished? I hope none of them did the damage that man did. And, you imply that he "accomplished something"? Again, what planet are you living on? It is, most certainly, not this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575396221761490577.post-87945874476194449392013-04-05T21:40:40.318-04:002013-04-05T21:40:40.318-04:00Anon 2:03, Competence has little to do with promot...Anon 2:03, Competence has little to do with promotions at the old First Politics of Wackyovia.

Ed Crutchfield must have lost his mind to have ever made him CEO of Wachovia. The destruction of jobs, lives and wealth he directly caused is absolutely unbelievable and unforgivable. I understand he sold his multi-million dollar beach house in Florida. Hopefully, he had to sell it to survive. HP must have been out of its mind not to have thrown him off 5 years ago. I cannot conceive anyone would do business with the people he is now associated with. Being "persona non grata" in Charlotte, why would he continue to live there? He ought to go back to Rock Hill, SC where he came from or move to Nome, Alaska and change his name.
