Dennis Kozlowski, former Tyco CEO who went to prison, back in M&A business
Dennis Kozlowski, who was convicted for using then Boca Raton-based Tyco International as his personal piggy bank, is back working in mergers and acquisitions for a Fort Lauderdale firm.
The former Tyco CEO went to prison for 6-1/2 years after being convicted in a multimillion dollar corporate fraud case. He was released in 2015.
On Wednesday, he spoke to the Gold Coast Tiger Bay Club, a group that encourages "public discourse," at an event in Boca Raton. Kozlowski, now 70, talked about going from a top CEO in the country, to head of laundry at a New York State prison, to his life today with his wife and business partner.
"I never once thought about prison when I was a CEO. That was a place where bad guys went," Kozlowski said. "Once you see from the inside, you know we're totally overzealous in America."
