Story 368

The Citi managing director who drugged and raped women was sentenced today.

The company’s response?

“We cooperated with law enforcement as they sought justice for the victims of these heinous crimes.”

How noble.

It’s amazing how quickly institutions discover their moral compass once the FBI is involved.

I bet a million bucks this wasn’t the first red flag. No doubt this is what happened when the women he worked with complained: they were discounted, minimized, and ignored – until men with badges and subpoenas arrive. Then everyone is suddenly “cooperating.”

What impeccable timing. Fortunately, for them, his LinkedIn says he still works there, hahaha.

    This week, Fortune published a favorable profile of Jane Fraser and Citi’s turnaround. It is worth reading — for what it chooses not to examine. For investors, Fortune provides the “What” — the plan, the metrics, the narrative arc. What it does not provide is the “How” — the friction, the trust deficit, the litigation…
