Original article: Why can't more bankers be like Citigroup's ex-CEO?

Crocodile tears

...here's one former executive willing to apologize and admit error. It's refreshing, and worth applause.

Yeah. And not good enough. A half assed apology, nothing more.

When he starts campaigning for tighter trading, derivatives and banking regulation, then I might believe him. When he blows the whistle on Citi's shadier dealings of the past decade, then I'll believe him.

Until them, it's just another case of an overpaid and unaccountable banking executive trying to cover his ass.
