Is one of the conditions of these federal bank rescues cutting the executive salaries down to size?

[lees1975]

Or is the rescue money still paying for their incompetence?

1. That's what SHOULD happen.

2. I doubt it.

3. I want to know why shareholders don't scream every day over this?

There's no reason to pay these higher-ups these insane salaries. No reason at all. Once heard an argument that they couldn't get qualified people if they offered less? Oh, yes you could.

4. The SVB executives have been fired, and all employees will be laid off.

So, I guess there’s a cost savings there. SVB no longer exists, but it’s assets may be bought by other banks.

5. All of these overpaid thieves have golden parachute contracts.

And they will find a way to grab off what they think they are entitled to have.

That's the same America in which Trump can still run for office and think he has a chance and not be indicted for his crimes.

7. It is amazing that incompetent individuals, who take actions that look like bank fraud,

who divert trementious sums of money to family members, and who drive institutions into bankruptcy are allowed to walk away for the messes they created with "golden parachutes."

I guess lake-homes don't pay for themselves?

6. Wall Street is rescuing them...why post this?

8. The greedy share-holders like to throw money at the ceo's thinking it will trickle down.

Surprise!

Share-holders left holding the empty bag, but the ceo's already got their salaries. They aughtta make them return the payment.
