Remember Crazy ("Insaaane") Eddie? How could you not? The Brooklyn retailer grabbed every available commercial minute on every available channel (or so it seemed) during the '70s and '80s before...he was convicted of an $80 million stock fraud scheme and off to the big house Crazy went. But he's back tonight, on CNBC's monthly "Business Nation," at 10.
Eddie talks (to CNBC contributor, Herb Greenberg) about his many crimes, while cousin and chief financial officer, Sam Antar, says “There was so much money everywhere; in the ceilings, under the mattresses, in the closets. There was so much cash skimmed that we didn’t know where to put it.” Antar also confronts Eddie during the show: "You brought us up to be crooks, Eddie. Everything I became came from you, Eddie. Now I don’t blame myself, but everything I became I learned from you. Don’t try to control the topic of conversation. You’re not a big (expletive) anymore, Eddie. You’re a two bit thug just like I am."
