I remember him as the guy who did everything he could to save employees stuck in Iran, two of whom were imprisoned, during the revolution.
He didnt go rescue them himself, but he funded the rescue and was personally invested in the rescue.
Not many CEOs would do much more than pay some K&R firm to negotiate a ransom/bribe, while simultaneously getting the lawyers to work out how little each life is worth they need to settle with the families.
RIP Mr. Perot
- tunap 7y agoHe also flew into Iran during that time to visit the imprisoned employees to assure them he was doing everything in his power to get them out. If he had been spotted, he surely would have been arrested, too. On Wings Of Eagles https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Wings_of_Eagles https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Wings_of_Eagles
