Egyptian Mahmoud Abdel Salam Omar is accused of assaulting at the Pierre Hotel on East 61st Street.  He is former Chairman of the Bank of Alexandria, one of Egypt's leading banks, and is the current Chairman of a salt production company.  The maid claims Omar asked her to come up to his room to drop off a box of tissues and that is when the assault occurred.  This comes on the heels of an assault on a maid at Sofitel Hotel by IMF leader, Dominique Strauss-Kahn of France ( http://clicky.me/5KwA ).  Are these assaults a harbinger of inflation?  Maybe the bad behavior of these so-called global business leaders is a sign that the global economy and business as usual, are on the rise.
