Riklis: | wouldn't let the goyim enjoy it, and by “goyim” | do not necessarily mean gentiles. What I'm talking about is that mythical “establishment.” | wasn’t about to let Forbes or Business Week have the pleasure of seeing me fail. Also, | thought it would be immoral to do that to my family, leaving them with the memory of my suicide plus all the problems | myself couldn't face. Penthouse: Looking over the clips from Forbes, for example, we find this so-called establishment criticizing your methods throughout the 1970s. In 1976, for example: “On charm, nerve and a fast head for figures, he soon built a major conglomerate. And then he let it all run down. At53, Meshulam Riklis is a stunning case of the American Dream gone wrong—a living demonstration that success, absolute overnight success, is a hard thing to handle." That's from Forbes and it's fairly representative. For Wall Street, you were in over your head: You bought companies only to write them off in order to solve your financial problems. Riklis: So what? Every business has its ups and downs. They hate you when you are up and they hate you when you are down. | wonder how many presently praised and accepted leveraged buyouts will end up in distress? Penthouse: Isn't there a pattern, here? Forbes obviously doesn't like you. Why? Riklis: Maybe they're jealous of my success. One thing that can't be said, though, is that Riklis cheated anybody. All the articles say is, “Riklis is better at buying companies than running them.” In 1979 they predicted we were doomed, and look where we are today. Penthouse: Still, was it bias or just shortsightedness on their part? Riklis: There's a definite bias, okay? Forbes specifically made it a point to write negative articles about me—to schtup Riklis. Why? | don't know, but it doesn't bother me. Penthouse: |'m not asking whether it bothers you. Since Forbes isn't the only financial magazine that's been critical, I'm asking if it's indicative of an establishment gang-bang. Doesn't Wall Street have real animosity toward you? Riklis: Yes, some of it exists, but not because somebody has it in for Riklis because he's Jewish or because he doesn't speak the King’s English. Basically, it's because the establishment was against anyone who's an originator. Yet today the most prestigious banking firms, some of which went through their own brand of failures and takeovers, have as their most lucrative departments the mergers, acquisitions, and leveraged buy-outs. In 1973 | made a speech which predicted what was going to happen—namely, that the goyim were going to find out how to do it from the Jews, go into the acquisition business themselves. And indeed, what's happened in the past two or three years? They've gone into acquisitions with a vengeance, only when | began doing 74 PENTHOUSE it, it was unusual. Riklis was ahead of the times, and anybody who's ahead of the times becomes a target for the financial magazine writers, who are nothing but mediocrities themselves.
