Steve Mnuchin's Role In Sears Downfall
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, whose role is foster economic growth and job creation, did the opposite as a Sears board member, profiting from the once-mighty retailer's downfall and costing thousands of workers their jobs. ...Mnuchin ...along with college roommate Eddie Lampert, who became CEO of Sears after his hedge fund bought the company and merged it with Kmart. The lawmakers accused the two billionaires of plundering Sears for their own personal gains. Last month, Sears Holdings sued Lampert, his hedge fund ESL Investments, Mnuchin and other major shareholders, alleging they stripped Sears of billions in assets for themselves, beyond the reach of creditors, before the bankruptcy. And the grand finale! The lawmakers say Lampert sucked about $6 billion in assets from Sears while closing stores and firing more than a quarter-million workers. He sold Sears real estate to himself and rented the property back to Sears at prices he set. In February, he purchased some of Sears' most valuable remaining assets, including DieHard and Kenmore brands, in a bankruptcy auction. ------------------------- GOP: Gaslight Obstruct Project |

From what I have gathered, Lambert did screw up that company. I don't think anyone really cares about what those two harpies have to say about Mnunchin. They trash anyone associated with Trump every day of the week. That's old news that everyone ignores, save the prog fools on this website.

Attack the messenger? Wasn't attacking them. Was pointing out that no one really listens to those loons anymore, except for, perhaps, fellow loons. Yet here we are, listening to them and discussing it, so there's that. I would think it's more gentlemanly to argue the substance and not insult them. I know they do scare a lot of righties, but they make much more sense that the potus. ------------------------- Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.
