2003: Executive Summary The Year In Scandals Ari Weinberg, 12.10.03, 7:00 AM ET This year, some of 2002's ugliest scandals drew toward grim climaxes: ImClone's Sam Waksal headed to jail; Dennis Kozlowski went on trial; HealthSouth's Richard Scrushy was hit with an 85-count indictment. But if investors and regulators thought they could finally breathe easier, they were horribly mistaken. 2003 will be remembered as a year in which a raft of new financial fiascos surfaced, rather than the year that Wall Street finally cleaned up its act. From Richard Grasso's $188 million paycheck to unethical--and possibly criminal--behavior by the mutual fund industry, there were so many scandals this year that we have created this timeline to help you keep track. Indeed, there was so much misconduct this year that we can't claim that this timeline is comprehensive. Rather, these are the lowlights from an extraordinarily bad year.
