Wake up! This is over an email! Do we literally mean everything that we write in Email? Are all email to be treated equal?
If this were the case..there is not a man/woman left standing that has not written a piss poor email that we have not regretted.
The fact that Mr. Q ended up in court over an email illustrates the extent that others are willing to go to get a conviction...
I think this entire matter shows a lack of good judgment....in too many people.
It is ridiculous. Success does breed contempt it seems.

Frank did nothing wrong. He was targeted because CSFB didnt have as much lobbying clot as Goldman and Morgan Stanley. This is a simple fact that anyone on wallstreet or in the venture community knows.

That said, Frank is the very definition of narcissistic . . . but all the power players on sand hill are too. . .

"Frank Quattrone, the former investment banker who helped take some of the hottest names of the tech boom public, was found guilty Monday in his retrial on charges of obstructing justice and witnessing tampering.

The jury of six men and six women took two days to find the ex-Credit Suisse First Boston investment banker guilty of all three counts against him."

I don't know about Quattrone's staffers, but that to me sure as heck "conveys both a sense of finality and completeness."

And yeesh, Frank. You had to take JB to task for what he wrote? One would think that the lesson you would have learned from all this is that sometimes discretion is the better part of valor, and there are times you should just keep your mouth shut.

"I am sorry Mr. Consultant, but a conviction is still a conviction until successfully appealed. So until then, Quattrone was "brought down" by his e-mails, and at least he is only looking 18 months in a federal "country club" prison as opposed to Tyco crooks Dennis Kozlowski and Mark Swartz, who are possibly heading to Attica or Sing-Sing to serve their 8-25 year sentences."

boo effing hoo. Suck it up, Frank. Talk about narcissistic. Not only did he feel the need to respond, he is too important to do it himself? Off the charts.
