During his nearly four-year affiliation with Global Crossing and its Asian subsidiary, Legere approved many of the controversial "capacity swaps" that triggered federal investigations and contributed to the company's downfall. A panel of outside directors called the company's reliance on such deals "not a prudent or financially sound business decision."
* Thousands of former employees watched their severance payments vanish, but Legere went to great lengths to make sure he was paid in full. As bankruptcy loomed in 2001, for instance, Legere summoned a vacationing employee to ensure that Global Crossing paid the income taxes on a $10-million personal loan to Legere the company had forgiven.
* Without board approval, Legere spent $500,000 of Asia Global Crossing's money to settle three separate sexual harassment claims against him.
* And even after he shut the flow of free coffee at Global Crossing's new Florham Park, N.J., headquarters to save money, Legere continued to drive a Cadillac Escalade at the company's expense, fly first-class and live in a Mastnhattan apartment that costs the company an estimated $10,000 a month
A man of the people doesn't do what he does.
Three women.
And let me tell you about being in a town hall type meeting with Louise Slaughter back in early 2002 and looking out at the people that lost every single cent of their pensions due to this jerk.
Elderly people. Elderly men. Spent their whole lives climbing up and down telephone polls and this punk could have given a shit less.
