Oh, and a stock option award representing 20% of his target equity incentive award economic value for 2007 performance, valued in the proxy report at $11,250,000. I guess they showed him what the price of failure is. In return for this stellar corporate leadership, the CEO got his salary of $1,090,000 but not his bonus.

Did they wake up from their nap about the usury going on with all these institutions backing the paycheck credit loan sharks?

Mega banks suck. Smallish credit unions treat you like you own the place - because you do. Every depositor is a share holder and the CU overall does not run at a profit.
