Booyakasha! Osi G of Deutschland is now big pimpin’ as the Group CEO UBS AG, and the hopes are that he can turn the joint around. Oswald J. Grübel is widely credited with turning around Credit Suisse after giving co-CEO John Mack THE BOOT from their shared executive perch (though it could alternately be argued that he merely got out while the getting was good). It’s also been stated that he’s addicted to workahol, making it unlikely we will see him partying with Nouriel Roubini or attending an Oktoberfest, which is unfortunate.
Respek the CEO.
(h/t another anon. thx!)

….CEO at Deutschland’s UBS….
it’s SWITZERLAND’s UBS – he is German, may be you will see him at the “Zürifäscht”

Yeah you’re definitely right. I learned something new – AG isn’t just for a company incorporated in Germany, which I had always assumed since the word was German.

Aktiengesellschaft (IPA: ['aktsiəngəzεlʃaft]; abbreviated AG) is a German term that refers to a corporation that is limited by shares, i.e. owned by shareholders, and may be traded on a stock market. The term is used in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.

Hmm, anyone who saw through Madoff that early deserves a medal.
