From Jan 8th issue of Wallstreet Journal

Ms. Tilton also has had her share of mistakes. After buying American LaFrance, the firetruck maker, she drove down revenue by more than 50% in an effort to improve profits. Four years later, she still is trying to turn the company around.

"That was a purchase I made more with my heart than my head," she said.

She also put a huge strain on the supply base for the industry. None of the suppliers got paid while she sat fat and happy.
She reminds me of the Cleveland Indians owner in Major League

The scandal of indicted Xinhua Finance founder Loretta Fredy Bush burned some of the sharpest minds on Wall Street, including one of the richest self-made women in the U.S.

Who says there is no justice. And the Chicoms involved. Impossible.

One cannot have become "one of the richest self-made women in the U.S." without taking some risks. In the end no one wins 100% of th time, except maybe Charlie Sheen, but I think that's the Tiger blood.

Forbes magazine has been running a series of articles on Ms. Tilton which have not been very flattering. They also tend to make investors and bond holders in her company very uncomfortable about their money.
