I got a call from a lawyer for a major bank that's been getting a lot of bad press for corporate governance failures. The lawyer wanted to know if I would make myself available to talk to the press to explain why his client was doing the right things.
It's about the third or fourth time this has happened recently.
I'm not sure which I found more insulting: that these lawyers thought I would shill for their client or that they thought I would do it for free.
