"The CEO of the nation's largest linen company went berserk and brutally beat his housemaid in his posh Upper East Side apartment—leaving her with swelling on the brain, officials said. George Bardwil, 57, who runs Bardwil Home, was charged with second degree assault in Sunday's savage attack that left the maid unconscious in a pool of blood." Bardwil, whose wife left him two weeks ago and is currently on medication, originally denied involvement in the assault; he now claims he hit her after he caught her stealing money, as if that's some sort of excuse. For the record, the blood spatter print tablecloth pictured above is not manufactured by Bardwil's company, as far as we can tell. [NYP]

Hamilton Nolan · 05/21/09 11:40AMMarc Dreier's Fire Sale at Sea
cityfile · 05/21/09 09:40AM
Lawyer Marc Dreier pleaded guilty to charges he bilked investors out of hundreds of millions of dollars a couple of weeks ago, and he remains under house arrest until his sentencing next month. (He may end up with a life sentence if prosecutors get their way.) He's been having trouble paying his bills since he was first indicted several months ago. According to his lawyer, Dreier even had to dip into his son's bar mitzvah fund recently to cover his living expenses. Perhaps that's why his yacht, which is one of a bunch of Dreier's assets now up for sale, was just discounted? Dreier's "Escape" (or "Seascape"), which was originally listed at $13.5 million, was just reduced to $12.5 million. After the jump, a few photos of the boat where Dreier probably spent many hours plotting and scheming.
