Lynn Tilton regrets that time she mailed out Christmas cards to her clients of her wearing red lace lingerie (

"In 1998, I was retiring, or at least I thought I was retiring. And for many years I had been on Wall Street with men asking me the color of my underwear on most days. And so on my way out the door I sent out a Christmas card to my ten best customers in red lace and a Santa hat wishing them a 'Merry Christmas.' The moral of the story is there is no end game and things live on forever. I don't think I would do that today given what I tried to accomplish, but I own it. The important thing is whatever you do in life, own it," Tilton said in a video posted by the Wall Street Journal.
Now that's settled.
