bankrupt Mark Brunell wants stuff (1 Viewer)

[Neil Beaufort Zod]

Give me a plausible argument that can convince me that he didn't make poor choices/ignore the advice of experts/get greedy and over extend himself. Seriously, thats all I and others are saying.

He obviously made poor choices, or at least choices which didn't work out. I am sure he consulted the advice of "experts"; "experts" ran Goldman Sachs, too. What the original poster is saying is that Brunell has a big fat sense of entitlement for wanting to keep his Super Bowl ring. That's not a judgement on Brunell's business decisions, it's a judgement on his person which is completely unwarranted.

The "experts" at Goldman Sachs weren't personally liable for the company's losses. They walked away millionaires many times over. This comparison doesn't hold water.

My point is that consulting a "financial expert" doesn't necessarily mean you will get good advice. And they walked away because they're unscrupulous thieves who rigged the system to their personal benefit, at great cost to their shareholders and the country at large.

I think you're being unfair. You don't know "the whole story" so you shouldn't comment on it.It could have happened to anybody. After all, who knew that investment banking carried risk?

We'd be nothing in this country without the Brunells who are willing to go in big chasing the dream (not that he's a big player by any means). We could really use a few Brunells in my city - Milwaukee - which is screaming out for someone with the balls to put some real money into real estate and restaurants like he did.

Investing's one thing. Leaving creditors unpaid is another.
