Why not just pay them a million a year with no bonus? Or give them a bonus in deferred compensation.

It just sounds like they're playing games with semantics.

As for death threats...not much can be said about that other than it's wrong.

I think its a gesture. he probabaly had a base of 400k and got a 1M bonus in a good year. It appears that is what many of the execs are doing at other financial companies , dropping the salary

making s-b.com a kinder, gentler place for all
