Long before the banking and financial crisis, corporate greed wore another face: and for many it was the face of Dennis Kazlowski - the former chief executive of Tyco International.

Eight years ago he was sent to prison for looting his company of more than $100 million.

Last month he was granted parole - this week he's expected to be freed from his jail sentence.

Catherine Dean is an associate professor of business ethics and business law at Northern Kentucky University. She's published a book on Dennis Kozlowski called Taking Down The Lion and spoke to Manuela Saragosa on Business Matters. They're also joined by Rachel Lu, Co-founding editor of Tea Leaf Nation, a Foreign Policy magazine.
