I happen to have a source inside an investors conference at a ritzy hotel in Florida today where consumer product companies pitch their story to major investors, hedge fund managers and such.

Tyson was also much discussed at the dinner tables, our source reports. But not for the chicken breasts. Table talk everywhere was about the recently reported theft of a briefcase containing $140,000-plus in cash from Tyson boss John Tyson’s home.
