So all those CEOs took a salary cut ?

[.... callchet ....]

Did they give up their company credit cards? Did they give up their company cars ? These guys can make money out of thin air. Do you think for a second they took a cut ?

1. no, they got bonuses, actually

and a party or two.

2. no bonus, just a RETENTION AWARD! n/t

3. Why do they still have jobs?

Why haven't they been fired? They caused their respective banks to almost fail, so why do they still have a job? When someone screrwed up that bad, I fired them, and hired someone who could do the job right. These scumbags need to be stripped of their wealth and freedom forever! Make it known that if you participate in scams that cause the bank to lose money, you will go down hard!

4. All they did was freeze the 100 million they already have.

When you have millions you don't need a salary. JFK did not take a salary as President because he said he didn't need it.
JFK was about service.

5. Bet the guy taking the $1 a year salary has an EXPENSE account

Do these a-holes REALLY think people are that stupid to believe the sudden *philanthropic* work deals?

6. I'd just like to point out

that a kid caught in a petty theft would at least be ordered to do some community service as penance. IMO that entire industry should be working for free to fix the problems they created, or spend the duration in jail.
