Never claimed I was. Oh, I visited Citibank headquarters at least twice
when my one Detroit clients was being purchased...no one mentioned your
name. Of course, we were dealing with line executives, not staff pukes.

So you hung out with the people you call the crooks and never met any
actual working people.

In those days, Citicorp was run by a liberal arts grad who first noticed
my client because of well-received statistical analyses and reports of
U.S. housing and commercial markets we published for the client.
Everyone associated with researching, compiling, and writing the
narratives was a liberal arts grad. The bank bought the client for $29 a
share in 1970 or so when it was trading OTC for $5 a share. Even I was
able to make a few bucks on the sale.

Citicorp later had to divest itself of the client for antitrust reasons.
