Gerald Levin, the former CEO of Time Warner, has passed away at the age of 84. He led the company into a disastrous $182 billion merger with AOL, which ultimately led to significant financial losses. Levin's career at Time Warner began in the 1970s, and he played a key role in the development of cable television and the growth of HBO.
