Well if it were up to me it would be far less. they ran their companies into the ground, cost people their jobs and homes and then cry to the government IE taxpayer to bail them out. Yet there is no penalty for them personally, they get the money and then give themselves 20 billion in bonuses. You bet they should have to pay for their mistakes for the mess. You did this mr. executive, now you lose your 10's of millions and live off this since it is now taxpayer money.

No tear for those guys from me. I think it is too 500k is too high.

the talking heads didn't lose everyone's pensions from cooked up schemes like the sub par prime lending yada yada.

ball players, if someone wants to pay them that much and have to charge tickets that high people sooner or later will not go but these guys cost people their jobs, and their homes and kids college tuition money and the lists of damages go on
