Dennis Kozlowski rose from humble beginnings to become the CEO of Tyco International in 1992. Under his leadership, Tyco grew rapidly through strategic acquisitions and mergers. However, Kozlowski was later accused of stealing $170 million from the company and manipulating stocks. He used company funds for lavish personal expenses such as a $2 million party for his wife's birthday. Kozlowski was eventually sentenced to 8-25 years in prison for charges including tax evasion and misappropriation of corporate funds. His actions led to a $90 billion decline in Tyco's stock value.
