Andrew Ross Sorkin, author of the book "Too Big to Fail," brings us this personalized license plate belonging to Morgan Stanley Vice-Chairman Rob Kindler who thought it appropriate to make a joke of the current financial mess.

Jealousy is such an evil emotion. Brings out the worst in people. The cayenne turbo is a hell of a car and very functional.

I think it's hilarious he has that license plate if it's true.

-edit-
Cayenne, not Cheyenne.

*highfive* You and me both, I was in stitches.

It was almost as funny as when trillions of dollars of our wealth evaporated last autumn thanks to guys like this, I still have bruises from all the knee slapping!!!

It's pretty dumb for a high profile executive to have a license plate like that. What kind of reaction does he expect? These guys are paid to think strategically and position their companies, I'm just amazed at the lack of judgement.

I think it's kinda brilliant. Even if he's a total ass for doing this, he's just gotten a whole bunch of free publicity. Haven't you ever heard the phrase that there's no such thing as bad press.

Haha - pretty funny if you ask me. And an interesting strategy on his own part: He'll piss off a lot of us plebes, but I bet a lot of people in his industry - who no doubt all feel like they're under attack to some amount - are raising a glass to the guy right now.

Only a few hundred contributed to his Porsche. They just used the money of a few million is all.

Dude has 10s of millions of reasons to show his Judgment is better than any of ours. :(

Seems like Crime(legally recognized or not) does indeed Pay. We're the chumps for being the good citizen.

I work in the industry and I think it's only making things worse.

As for the OP contending that we all paid for that Porsche... not so much.

Hmm... MS paid back their bailout money already. Funny plate.

The arrogance of the people in the industry caused the problem just as much as the ignorance of the people "investing" in houses. To blatantly put that out there only serves to froth up populist behaviors. I wouldn't see anybody with real class doing that.
