Apparently getting laid off by Bear Stearns in Dallas isn't such a bad deal. First year analysts are said to be receiving three months severance plus a full bonus, according to a source familiar with the parting gifts.

A first year I know at bear in nyc got laid off with 3 months severance and a bonus. Not a bad summer break if you ask me.

Sure, but it's only a break if you find meaningful employment on the other side.

smartass, 12 weeks is actually worse than 3 months

If the FEDS had any interest in fixing the problem instead of setting example, blame would have been put on Citi to increase controls and reporting. Sure Gile was in front of this, but he was just a cog in the machine.
This article fails to draw attention to the fact that the inflated numbers benefited Citi as well. Jailing Giles will change no ones actions and just makes it easier for Corps to place blame on employees for oversites that the Corps themselves could have much easily corrected. Why would they though when the traders will now take the fall?
