    Evan Bayh's wife hauls in millions serving on corporate boards of companies including "nation's largest health insurance company"

    "Susan Bayh, who was a midlevel lawyer for the politically active Eli Lilly and Co. while her husband was governor of Indiana, did not serve on the board of a single public health-care company until it was clear her husband was about to ascend to the U.S. Senate. Only one month before Evan Bayh was elected to the Senate in a landslide vote, his wife was appointed to serve on the board of what would become the nation's largest health insurance company -- and arguably the company with the most at stake in the health-care reform debate.

    Within a few years, numerous companies recruited her, and she eventually served on the boards of eight companies. At least one of them asked her to reduce the number of boards she served on, apparently because she was spread too thin to be effective.

    Adding to speculation about a connection between her board memberships and her husband's office is Susan Bayh's unwillingness to discuss the matter, including for this story. She has declined several requests for comment on her corporate interests, making it difficult to tell where those interests end. What a surprise that Susan Bayh won't answer questions."

    Mrs. Bayh, why do you refuse to discuss the matter?

    There were people in those board meetings who perpetuated heinous acts on hard working tax paying American citizens. Did you ever question the ex-CEO as to why he sold so many shares if he truly believed in the company?

    Mrs. Bayh, did you ask him about his guidance? Did you ask him about reaffirming this guidance as late as the 2011 shareholders meeting? Or did you just think he could do whatever he wanted and no one would get caught?

    Hopefully she will have to speak under oath re: DNDN.

    Will you have something to say if Gold is indicted? After all, you were supposed to have oversight of his heinous acts.

    FBI and or other Federal agencies are/ will be well aware of all board members activities and are/will follow all leads.
    Rest assure subject matter is more under focus due to her ties (being married) to a former Senator.
    Please contact FBI Seattle office with any other evidence and or information regarding any suspicious/criminal activities by the subject matter and or Dendreon Corp.

    If you look at post 5 and 9, it seems she even had a crony try to discourage the continuation of this thread. I see no other reason someone would disagree with this thread. When I posted about 10 links about what people think of her and her "career" as a professional board member the person stopped. The reasons she is on boards is bad enough but when there is a madman CEO who commits heinous crimes and she did nothing to stop this madman, it proves that she is just around just to make $ and is very weak and won't stand up to CEOs. What a complete disgrace.

    Mrs Bayh, did you watch 60 minutes last night? It was a repeat story about politicians trading on insider information. If you saw the beginning of the story there was an example given about trading a company when insiders might know if there was going to be a CMS hearing on whether Medicare was going to pay for it. DNDN wasn't mentioned by name but it does seem they were talking about DNDN. You and Mitch unloaded shares before CMS announcement. Did you know anything about that possibility?

    Did it take being on the board of a company that was "found out" for you to understand what everyone was saying over the years about you being "overboarded" and you being on boards for the money and not necessarily to provide tough oversight? You had a fiduciary respnsibility to shareholders to be tough, ask tough questions and to put a stop to rogue psychopaths. If you asked the right questions about his sales (yes that is a fair question), his guidance, you would have known he was a sick crazed psychopath.

    Lol, I am OP and if it is Mrs. Bayh or her crony saying "point taken" then I guess it's a fair request to move along but there is no way to know if it is either. At some point she should be held accountable. People have been having these criticisms of her for years and not only did she not make any changes but she refused to answer questions.

    It is really sad that it took a debacle where stockholders lost billions, employees lost money and careers, careers were sidetracked and ruined because people left jobs to to come here under false lies and pretenses, bondholders got fooled into buying a bond offering only for it to turn to junk status in 1.5 years for her to possibly realize how much of a depolorable immoral life she has been leading.

    People like her have no idea what it is like to have to work hard for everything and still have a hard time making ends meet. She has no idea what it is like to be struggling and on top of that to lose tens of thousands of dollars in a stock fraud. She is a person who is offered jobs that have paid her millions of dollars. She didn't have to pound the pavement for board positions. She didn't earn those positions through hard work and talent. As soon as her husband became powerful she was offered these positions and like an animal she took them as if she earned them. The most disgusting part of all is that she proved what everyone was saying all along about being overboarded and being a weak board member and just doing this for the money. It is only when the crimes hit the fan are these animals exposed. This is one of those rare instances and she has been exposed for the morally bankrupt person that she is. If she had any semblance of remorse she would quit all her board positions immediately and live in the real world and volunteer in a soup kitchen or something. She won't. These people never take responsibility until and unless they are forced to by going to prison.
