Citigroup CEO’s SSN Written in Sky Over Manhattan

CNNFN-TV LOU DOBBS TONIGHT (6:00 PM EST)


Citigroup says predicting customer information — protecting customer information is one of its top priorities, but the Foundation For Taxpayer and Consumer Rights has a somewhat different view. That group today tried a unique way of protesting a piece of legislation before the Senate. The legislation would preempt strict state privacy laws with a single federal law.

Despite their best efforts to write the Social Security number of Citigroup, CEO, there it is, above the Manhattan skyline, mother nature chose to offer privacy to Charles Prince.

The California consumer group was able, however, to buy Prince’s Social Security number on the Internet. They paid $30 we’re told. They also the numbers of the Attorney General John Ashcroft and CIA Director George Tenet. The total investment of $90 and there is a number of some sort being formed in the sky high above Manhattan.

The preliminary results of tonight’s poll, “Do you think there should be a federal law to protect your privacy,” 94 percent of you said yes, 6 percent said no.
