Scrushy plots a comeback. As HealthSouth works hard to put a fraud scandal in the past, its acquitted founder studies how he can regain the company.
The jury ruled that Richard Scrushy is not guilty. So now HealthSouth's deposed leader wants to reclaim the company he founded, even if current management and investors don't want him. "I have a hard time believing he's going to get back in there," says Larry Scanlan, left, of Navigant Consulting. Others are more blunt: "We have less than zero support for his return," says a principal at the largest single owner of HealthSouth shares.
