📉 The Fall of Richard Fuscone: A Lesson in Financial Risk Richard Fuscone, a former Vice Chairman at Merrill Lynch and Harvard graduate, was once celebrated for his brilliance in investment banking. However, his story is a cautionary tale of financial mismanagement. The Downfall: Despite his success, Fuscone filed for bankruptcy in 2010.
