It's not in the cards for Los Angeles businessman

LOS ANGELES TIMES
They say money can't buy happiness. Apparently, it doesn't buy a sense of humor either.
Lawyers for Gary Winnick, the former chairman of Global Crossing Ltd. who made more than a half billion dollars before the company filed for bankruptcy, have sent a cease-and-desist letter to the publisher of a "Shareholders' Most Wanted" deck of cards that includes the man once ranked the richest in Los Angeles.
Winnick is the "Ace of Hearts."
Salt Lake City stockbroker Lynn Brandenburg modeled his deck of tycoons and stock analysts after the playing cards depicting the Pentagon's most-wanted Iraqi officials.
No one else in the $9.99 deck has asked to be removed, Brandenburg's lawyer said. Other aces include former WorldCom Inc. Chief Executive Bernard Ebbers, former Enron Corp. CEO Kenneth Lay and former Tyco International Ltd. CEO Dennis Kozlowski. But Winnick thought he had been dealt a bad hand.
In a June 26 letter, Winnick's attorney Patricia L. Glasser said the cards "violate Mr. Winnick's right to privacy and are defamatory" and noted that Winnick "has not been accused or convicted of any crime."
Asked about the letter, Glasser snapped: "Would you like a card like that about you?"
Brandenburg's attorney, Bruce Pritchett, said nothing on the Winnick card was untrue. Nonetheless, the card was pulled.
"It seemed like the best thing to do for Lynn," Pritchett said. "It's easier not to mess with at this point."
The company that publishes the deck, Fairness and Justice for Shareholders Inc., is looking for a new Ace of Hearts.
