...charge of disorderly conduct. Now it looks as if the civil courts will get a piece of the scurrying banker too. AirTran Airways, which says it lost $1 million when air traffic across the East was disrupted, is suing Lasseter for $100,000. Delta Airlines, which has not followed suit--yet--claims to have lost up to $8 million.

There's a Rhode Island suit against them, saying they made lead paint that was put into buildings in Rhode Island and potentially caused illness.
