Could have gotten a better deal for Crazy Eddie


The Craziest part about Eddie was his business plan. Steal from your own company for 10 years, take the company public, gradually reduce your stealing over the course of 5 years to show a rapidly increasing profit margin, sell company to a hedge fund and cash out the profit. Then, go to jail for 8 years.
