Linette Lopez and Julia LaRoche of Business Insider write about the potential ramifications of Anthony Scaramucci, SkyBridge Capital founder and host of the massive hedge fund conference, SALT, appearing on Fox Business Network this afternoon after being a regular CNBC contributor.

“Wonder what they’ll talk about…

“Last month, Business Insider reported that CNBC executives were furious at Scaramucci for relaunching iconic business program ‘Wall Street Week.’ At SALT Las Vegas in May, he announced on CNBC that his firm would be restarting the show with the help of former CNBC executive Susan Krakower.
