Everyone calls them spineless pussies but today top bankers at ABN AMBRO have proven themselves to be backbone-bearing dicks. They’re threatening to strike if the Royal Bank of Scotland doesn’t pay them the 750 million euros in bonus they say they’re owed for, and this is the best part, signing loyalty oaths that indicate their pledge to stay with ABN for three years (instead of deflecting to Fortis). Only, whoops, ABN doesn’t have the cash because it didn’t account for the bonuses on its balance sheet, accidentally spreading them out over several years. "If we don't get the money, I expect a revolt," one ABN banker said. “Could this happen to us?” Jimmy Cayne asked his dealer on Vanderbilt this morning after hearing about the news. “Nah, nobody that comes to work here expects to get shit, we’re cool.” Hilariously, UBS is in the same situation as RBS, though with cases of Mike's, not actual money, and its employees don't know about it yet.

I heard Cayne used Mike's for his bong water this morning. That makes it taste, like, totally sweet man.
