Who is Bernie Kerik?

I have a headline ticker following the antics of Bernie Kerik. Who is Bernie Kerik?

Kerik was on Taser's Board of Directors from May 2002 [LINK] until April 2005 [LINK].

He made millions profit from stock options when TASR stock peaked during that period.

Kerik has had, and continues to have, quite a few legal issues (presently facing "...a maximum sentence of 142 years in prison and $4.7 million in fines..."). [LINK]

One commenter suggested that Kerik's hubris tended to rub off on others.

The X26 taser was introduced in mid-2003 (during Kerik's tenure at Taser). The previous model of taser was called the M26 Advanced. Perhaps the otherwise-unnamed X26 taser should have been called the X26 Hubris.
