Any list leaving Wolf and Seigel out of the hall of shame is incomplete. Wolf was smoother than Lorenzo and Seigel was a compact version of Lorenzo but both are to be reviled. FWIW, Seigel went onto to Gate Gourmet and treated the employees so badly, British Airways (as I remember reading) terminated its contract early with penalties saying it would not do business with men of his ilk.

Wolf remains below the horizon but Seigel has once again surfaced with the help of his mentor and buddy, Bonderman. Be wary...
