They're such victims, you know. To clarify something: Mr. Lampert bought a controlling stake in Kmart, not Sears. Then, a few years later, the beleaguered Kmart merged with Sears. Long before (edit: I looked it up, and it wasn't all that "long before". It was shortly before the initial Kmart buy-in) any of this occurred, someone kidnapped Mr. Lampert. In Connecticut, I believe it was. Mr. Lampert had already [s]earned[/s] amassed considerable wealth. Not Bezos/Walton/Buffett bucks, but enough to make a ransom worthwhile. I wonder what asset level is required before a person has to thinking about the risk of being kidnapped. Anyway: the kidnappers took him to a motel and sent their ransom demand. They didn't harm their trophy. While waiting for a response to their ransom demand, they got hungry. They needed pizza. Mr. Lampert was hungry, too, but he didn't want any pork-contaminated pizza, so he asked for a clean pizza. He offered to pay for the pizza. He gave them his credit card. He was rescued a few hours later. I have a bad feeling that using the word "Lampert" is liable to get me baned. [/quote] Actually it was AutoZone board members who put the hit on Eddie. They were offering those seven kidnappers 3 million. I met him when delivering a piece of furniture to him in a Chicago penthouse. Had a beer and smoked a joint too. The next year, I went to work for sears auto for ten years. [/quote]
