Huge Bonus Hangs Over Pay Review (NYT)
So far the only thing Citi has come up with re: convincing the Compensation Cop that it should be allowed to pay Phibro trader Andrew Hall his $100 million bonus is that the contract was signed prior to the government announcing it’d be getting involved in this shit. This would be because everyone staffed with figuring out how to get Andy his clams is an unimaginative fuck. Treasury officials have apparently noted amongst themselves that they’d sooner give Vikram the go-ahead to build his $10 million zen garden than let Hall have his money.

@24 FTW.
Warren is correct. The economic recovery is a fucking facade: the banks are teetering on insolvency, commercial real estate is deteriorating and the consumer is being throttled by indebtedness.
The the first failed auction looms within the visible distance. Tails will be +100 soon. Not on the ledge here or a Zerohedge nut, but I see a major I-bank failure this fall. How long can we move debt onto the government’s balance sheet before it defaults or partial defaults (prints)? Step back from your perspective and look around.

@26 the Eurozone and/or England will fall off the cliff long before we do. You think our banking system is “teetering on insolvency” look at the capital ratios/leverage over there.
Frankly, I’d rather deal with our commercial real estate than their crappy Eastern European loans.
Curious… CFA or MBA?
@23 how dare you take that tone about your old man? Ingrate!

I do not try to imply that we are worse off than Europe, just that we are quite in the hole.
