No matter what he may or may have not done, does anyone deserve a 10million dollar bonus for doing fuck all.

How about instead of giving it to that jackass give it to the people who actually need it like those who lost their jobs because of ass fucks like him.

[hamshow]

Okay, give him a $25 gift card. Selling your company to another deserves only that.

[Gonzoidzz]

crooks and criminals.

[GladiatorGT]

Confidence is what got him the position in the first place. Confidence always wins.

@INatalkaI motherfucken modest up your cunt. the point is IF YOU LOOSE MONEY as a TOP MAN, YOU don't get nothin' except for a bullet in the head like the old las vegas mob use to say.

This chubby guy can't tell us that if he was the ceo of merrill and the company lost 11.6 billion dollars that he'd give his entire salary and prior bonuses back...

Thain is right by the way. He brokered a deal with bank of america in TWO days under the watchful eye of the fed AND the treasury department, thereby saving the company. It COULD have been worse. Look at lehman brothers, bear sterns, aig, washmu, enron, tyco... The list goes on. Merrill is the top wealth management firm in the world.

Evil is good! Why would you expect anything different. Liberalism has a relativity clause for evil, right? There is no evil anymore. Good is evil! Besides we should never kill a murderer? We cannot have guns to take down some sucker who's killin' our neighbor in the alley. Right? Or to defend our sons from gangbangers the COPS protect. They're pushin' their drugs? It's OK! Or to kill when they rape a chick in your gangway? Right? So get used to it. CEO's jus' doin his job. Don't be judgmental.

To be honest, 10 million bonus sounds very modest compared to some other bonuses the CEOs of bail-out companies have been giving themselves. Many of them make hundreds of millions a year in just bonuses, that is on top of regular pay. That isn't to say he deserved 10 millions, but this story sounds off.
