Redefine ‘victim’

Re “Citigroup CEO falls victim to loan crisis,” Nov. 5

Citigroup’s CEO a victim? The words “perpetrator” or at least “co-conspirator” come to mind instead. Recently resigned Citigroup CEO Charles Prince slinks away with nearly $150 million for the last four years and for retirement. Meanwhile, millions of borrowers stand to lose their homes and tens of thousands who worked in the industry have lost or are losing their jobs. The truly honorable course for Prince to take would be to put his windfall and his executive experience to work for the real victims.
