did you get excited when you saw this subject title?

 

[Insane3D]

ROTFL!

Anyway, if he got $140 mil somewhere along the lines, he should be fine with the rest of his life anyway...

 

[LanEvoVI]

I love how he thought his salary was reasonable when the guy who he preceded only made something like $143,000 per year.

This guy was treated unfairly. NYSE is not a public institution, taxpayers don't pay his salary. He ran the company well. The reporter that dug this story up should be fired and banned from the media.

Why does it matter how much he got paid?

Right, people make it sound like he was getting paid with tax payer money.. the NYSE is a PRIVATE company.

 

[Argo]

The problem isn't that he was getting paid that much. The problem is that he was getting paid that much by the companies he was supposed to be REGULATING. That kinda raises a red flag, doesn't it? I'm sure there's a lot more to it than we're being told.

interesting that no one gave a rats ass before he retired yesterday.

I don't often poke my head out from behind this screen so excuse me if this is a stupid question.

What's the NYSE?

I porbably could've put that together eventually.

Yes, it was a stupid question.

 

[aircooled]

Title made me think you were spying on me.

 

[pyonir]

LMAO

 

[darkshadow1]

Of course, no one mentions that this pay is an accrual of his services for the past 35 years at the NYSE. It's NOT like his one year salary was $140 million. Still, $140 million is a tad much in any case for that sort of organization.

edit: if you don't like how he was kicked out, then you have to blame the kings of Wall Street themselves, the Dow Jones Co., cause they own the Wall Street Journal and it was they who ran all the articles against him. The problem with the $140m was not the size of the compensation but the fact that almost all of it came from bribes, oops I mean stock options.
