The Grasso is Greener On the Other Side UPDATED
Dick Grasso, former head of the New York Stock Exchange, won a stunning victory in an appeal of a lower court ruling in a case brought by former Attorney General Spitzer to recover much of Grasso's $178MM deffered compensation.
I've never understood this case and I always thought that Grasso, who refused to settle, would win. While I haven't read the opinion yet, it appears that he is on the way.
For losers like me who are actually interested in reading this junk, the Appellate Division Opinion (which I haven't read yet) can be accessed here

I am so happy about this decision. I was disgusted by Spitzer's strong-arm, extralegal tactics, and I'm glad Grasso had the guts to fight. The board of AIG should have done the same on behalf of Greenberg.

If you expected this victory, why is it stunning?

Because of the magnitude of the reversal. And not everyone agreed.
