After much wait and speculation, Jamie Dimon’s bonus number is in: golden boy took $16 million in bonus- half in restricted shares and half in options. We’re told that Goldman was going to wait for the three-day weekend next Friday to make the big announcement and try to bury the news, but that may be no longer the case, given the pressure.
So what’s Blankfein gotta do? Options are not aplenty and basically boil down to:
* He takes something slightly lower. (“I’m a bigger man.”)
* He takes something slightly bigger. (“I’m a bigger man, and this is way less than the rumored $100 mil”)
* He takes the same amount as Jamie. (“Twins!”)
* He takes nothing. (“I’m a bigger man, fuck you JD.”)
* He gives everything to charity. (“I’m a bigger man and I’m doing God’s work.”)
may no longer be the case. kill yourself.
His bonus = Athens + 1/2 the Greek Islands.
100mm and gives his testimony in front of congress as a nWo heel
It would be awesome if the Board granted him a fleet of Toyotas
He should take $1B.
Billionaire Blankfein, bitches

He should take $350 billion. It’s probably his last chance.
emergency ECB meeting this wknd…YA HEARRRD
Take $100M, pay $100k for Barney Frank to go realize his dream to star in a Tijuana donkey show.
all compensation in this country should be deferred.. waiters should only be paid if the customer enjoys their meal, movie tickets should be paid for after the movie is shown only if the customer enjoyed their movie, i should only have to pay for my massage if im completely relaxed afterwards, arod should only get paid when the yankees win the world series… all these pay packages will do is create a situation where the most talented people in their given field will flock to a company where they are most likely to succeed and teams like the yankees will win the world series year after year
$15M half stock, half cash. The cash half is donated.
