Fired CEO ordered to pay company $25 million

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- A court in Delaware said fired HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy must give the company $25 million to repay a loan he previously settled with stock that lost much of its value amid a financial scandal.

The Delaware Supreme Court last week upheld a lower court ruling that the shares Scrushy transferred to HealthSouth in 2002 to retire a loan were worth less than the amount he borrowed because of a plunge in the share price.
