Get to know your owner: H. Wayne Huizenga

[HysterikiLL]

In a random vesp of boredom and intrigue, I decided to do some skimming on Mr. Huizenga, finding that my brief knowledge really only stretches as far as founder of Blockbuster Video. After tapping into Google, I came across a long-but-nonetheless-interesting article detailing everything from Huizenga's upbringing to his grabbing (and twisting) of a guys balls (seriously) and the occassional taste for the old Randy Mac wife disciplinary committee-by-backhand.

Anyway, I found it interesting. Maybe you will too.

The guy only got $1000 for "permanent damage to the testicles" and several other abrations and such?

Then they call $1000 steep?

I do not know what year this happened in, but $1000 now is absolutely nothing. You can get a ruling of $1000 if you draw blood from an assault.

If you notice it says unauthorized biogrophy. I doubt much of this is real.:refuse:

Unauthorized just means that the subject didn't approve it. If Wayne ever did anything that he would like to keep hidden, do you honestly think he would approve it?

i read this whole thing, its a total hatchet job. 75% of it are things his companys did that he may or may not of had anything to do with. every large corporation does terrible things, its not like WMI or Blockbuster are worse than anyone else. Also, the whole thing is written as an attack on him, it is not open minded at all. I would not take it as fact.

I loved the article. Usually, we only hear the good things people do, people dont want to be reminded of the bad things. Even though im canadian, us canucks know more about u.s history than our own. If you were to dig up dirt on every millionaire, you would be appalled by some of the things you would hear (except for maybe a nerd like gates). Alot of prominent and wealthy families obtained their great wealth from illegal activities or violence, great read

He wasn't the founder of Blockbuster video, he bought it when it was a local chain and expanded it.
