- Saatchi & Saatchi CEO Kevin Roberts has launched a diatribe against investment bankers: "Watching this latest meltdown from neighbouring TriBeCa has been horrendous. I don't really care what happens to the bankers. In fact, I'm more than a little pissed that so many of them have walked away with fat cat bonuses over the last three years and we found no way to get that money back. What depresses me is what happens to the average person. Many employees at Saatchi & Saatchi have seen their 401K retirement funds decimated by the greed, stupidity, and arrogance of these so-called 'Masters of the Universe'."
