From TPM Reader BC ...

Kinda surprised that few have picked up on the news which broke late last Friday that CBNC's Dylan Ratigan had abruptly walked off the set of his "Fast Money" show and announced his immediate departure. Ratigan was a true rising star at the under-fire network, hosting two shows daily, as well as making many mainstream media appearances on Leno, The View. He also recently guest hosted MSNBC's "Morning Joe" for an entire week.

Ratigan was consistent in his opinion that the average investor would never return to the stock market until we saw some Wall Street CEOs being hauled away in handcuffs. His riffs on the stupidity of 30-1 leverage were legendary. He was one of the most visible and outspoken staffers there. Regardless of the spin from the network, it's a huge loss for them. I'm sure the Cramer/Stewart thing didn't help either.

Here's a story about his departure.
