The Kai alleges Bloomberg told her, if you look like that, I would do you in a second.

Welcome to watchmojo and today we're discussing our picks for the most offensive things spoken by some of the wealthiest executives in the world.

Adverbs of manner

By executives, we specifically mean the highest ranking ones, such as the CEOs of major companies.

The board of directors on a Wednesday were my biggest fans.

And then all of a sudden, Sunday, they kicked me to the curb.

Sam Bankman fried over $150 billion in three days.

That's how much the world's 15 largest cryptocurrencies lost in market value.

It's because of the crypto exchange platform ftx.

Once upon a time, he was described as the poster boy for crypto.

His reputation was decimated when he was convicted of fraud in 2023.

For a period, he was the CEO of FTX, a now bankrupt company.

In one interview, he said some pretty controversial things which shed some light on his downfall.

But when customers went to withdraw their funds in November 2022, the funds were not there.

And a jury found that that money had been moved to a hedge fund, an investment fund called Alame, and

that Sam Bankman Fried used that money to enrich himself in his inner circle.

This included throwing shade towards regulators alongside saying that his ethics stuff was mostly a front.

After hearing these, it's no surprise he was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

His schemes were so prolific he has since been called the Bernie Madoff of crypto.

A lot of retail traders and investors I've talked to are feeling desperate or frustrated.

The majority of the people in the industry could not have seen this coming because FTX is such a dominant player.

Dave Calhoun Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun has announced he will no longer be CEO of Boeing.

He will end that role at the company at the end of this year.

After the infamous Boeing 737 Max crashes, the company's previous CEO was fired and replaced with Dave Calhoun.

He maintained the position from 2020 until 2024.

From the very start, his reign was contentious.

Rather than admitting Boeing was primarily at fault, he instead pushed the blame on the pilots.

Suddenly I keep catching myself even thinking about, should I be praying in this flight with all of this news?

Do these investigations actually play into Boeing's quality control?

Are we going to stop seeing these accidents or incidents?

This included him claiming they didn't realize non American pilots wouldn't be experienced enough to correct software issues.

Reporters then inquired about whether American pilots could have solved the issue in response, Calhoun asked if he could go off the record, but

refused to answer on the record, so told them to simply guess the answer.

Last week, Mike Whitaker was interviewed by NBC, and

he said that when he was out here, what he saw was a culture of move the product, move the plane.

It was not a focus on quality control and safety management.

At the heart of this secret was one man, the man behind one of the biggest fashion brands in the world.

Clothing brand Abercrombie and Fitch was run by Mike Jeffries from 1992 until 2014.

In this role, he turned them into a major fashion brand.

Initially, they were losing $25 million annually, but by 2006, they were earning $2 billion a year.

This was done using pretty unethical means.

Though I was being presented to someone to do what they wanted with.

What happened to me changed my life, and not for the better.

Jeffries marketed as clothes specifically to those he considered quite cool kids, which didn't include people he believed were overweight or unattractive.

Specifically, he said, they go after the attractive all American kid.

After these statements became public, there was a decline in popularity, so he stepped down entirely in 2014.

Now, in the 2020s, he's been arrested and accused of some pretty despicable things, primarily sex trafficking.

Bombshell news out of the world of fashion hit the headlines today.

Former Abercrombie and Fitch CEO Michael Jeffries and two others arrested.

They're charged with sex trafficking, trafficking, and interstate prostitution.

For the record, she may look like a 34C, but

she's getting all kinds of help from our friends at Victoria's secret.

She's a 34B, as in barely anything there.

The creator of Facebook and current CEO of Meta has allegedly said some pretty vile things over the years.

Most of these were in his early days at Harvard.

One person alleged he said, you can be unethical and still be legal.

Though there's no hard evidence, a more credible quote is him telling a friend, if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard, just ask.

He then went on to call these people dumb for trusting him.

The statement became even darker with hindsight after the major Facebook Cambridge Analytica data scandal.

It goes to show Zuckerberg has never cared as much about privacy as he should have.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg breaking his silence now, after we all learned that up to 50 million users.

Facebook users affected by that data scandal.

Zuckerberg apologizing overnight, vowing to do better and saying he'd be, quote, happy to testify before lawmakers if it's the right thing to do, he said.

Travis Kalanick but people are not trusting you anymore.

Our next billionaire earned his riches by founding Uber.

He was then the company's CEO from 2010 until 2017.

Eventually, he was pressured to leave after he was a kid accused of fostering a toxic culture in the company.

Signs of this began in 2014 when he jokingly said in a GQ interview they should be called boober on account of his perceived popularity with women.

Travis Kalanick, the driving force behind Uber, resigns under mounting pressure from investors over his leadership.

Later in 2017, a clip was released of him getting heated with a driver about falling income.

An apology was subsequently issued, but eventually the consequences of his actions caught up to him.

So in 2017, he took an indefinitely of absence.

Not long after, a massive report on Uber's sexual harassment issues was released.

James McNerney the Boeing saga this past year is an example of how not to handle a crisis.

Years before Dave Calhoun's tenure, James McNerney was the CEO of Boeing.

The Boeing 737 Max was developed during this time, which you may remember, wasn't the company's greatest success.

Additionally, there's a high chance he would have had an unpleasant time working for the company.

Company While McNerney was the boss, they showed Boeing employees talking about tricking regulators and say some really unflattering things about the regulators that they were dealing with.

It gives you a real glimpse into the culture inside Boeing.

In his own words, he said he wouldn't retire at 65 as the heart will still be beating, the employees will still be cowering.

This remark from 2014 got him in a whole heap of trouble soon after, he apologized.

In an email sent to the entire company, McNerney claimed it was simply a bad joke, but

many believed he was alluding to a toxic atmosphere at Boeing.

How can there be something on a plane not only that pilots didn't fully understand and weren't trained on, but

Mike Bloomberg and head to the race for the White House now on the spotlight this morning on Michael Bloomberg and new details on allegations of sexism.

The billionaire accused of making crude remarks toward women at his company and his company the target of three ongoing lawsuits by former female employees from 1981 to 2001, then again from 2014 to 2023.

Michael Bloomberg was the CEO of Bloomberg L.P.
