Tyco Wife's Bawdy Birthday Bash

The pillaging of Tyco International by former chairman Dennis Kozlowski and his corporate cohorts was apparently a ransacking of epic proportions.

Among hundreds of improper expenditures, the company actually paid half the $2 million tab for the ostentatious 40th birthday party of Kozlowski's wife Karen.

TSG's favorite touch, of course, was the ice sculpture of David, um, spewing vodka. Class all the way. (1 page)
