From Squawk Box this morning: bigshot investor in Citigroup, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, says Vikram Pandit’s work in the top spot is all good in the hood, and that he’s going to raise his stake in C from 4% to 5%, which at today’s share price will probably cost him about $66. Hey, at this point we need The Bandit to stay in his job for the comedy value, so we will take it.

I promise to post some non-Bandit content as soon as someone else starts failing. Shouldn’t be long now.
