Peter Cohen


The movie makes it looks as if Peter Cohen screwed up, when in my view, others were to blame, especially Linda Robinson. Peter wanted to move fast, ahead of KKR, while Linda suggested they delay, and meet with Henry, allowing KKR to get entrenched. Then later, when Henry said he was out of the bidding, Linda believed him, and told everyone that Henry was out, but Peter was the only one who didn't believe Henry, and advised Ross to be prepared and to raise his bid to counter KKR's. Linda even lied about that later, saying she knew all along that Henry was stonewalling.
