Take the money and run

By Mustang Bobby

Hostess Brands and Twinkies may be gone, the company shut down, and workers laid off, but the people who ran the place made out pretty well

According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Hostess' CEO, Gregory Rayburn, essentially admitted that his company stole employee pension money and put it toward CEO and senior executive pay (aka "operations"). While this isn't technically illegal, it's another sleazy theft by Hostess executives – who've paid themselves handsomely while running their company into the ground. Just last month, a judge agreed to let Hostess executives suck another $1.8 million out of the bankrupt company to pay bonuses to CEOs.

This would be just another business day in Mitt Romney's America.
