The Wall Street firm, which was publicly criticized a few weeks ago by one of its own for running roughshod over the interests of clients – dubbed “muppets” in internal speak – in the pursuit of profit, has now pulled off what looks like the trade of the year. But this one comes at the expense of its own shareholders. CommentaryPORT-AU-PRINCE | Tue Jan 25, 2011 12:02pm EST PORT-AU-PRINCE Jan 25 (Reuters) - Haiti's government presidential candidate will withdraw from the country's disputed elections following intense international pressure to keep him out of a run-off vote due to fraud allegations, a senator from the INITE ruling party said on Tuesday. "The candidate for our party INITE, Jude Celestin, will withdraw from the presidential race to facilitate a solution to the electoral crisis," Senator Franky Exius told Reuters. He said a public announcement would be made either later on Tuesday or on Wednesday. This followed heavy pressure from the United Nations and western donors on the Haitian government and electoral authorities to accept an Organization of American States (OAS) experts' report challenging preliminary results from Nov. 28 elections that had put Celestin in the run-off.
