    I have a problem when the CEO’s of these companies get compensated in the way that they did. I am not anti-capitalism, lets get that straight. I am all about making money; the more the better. However, these CEO’s were directly responsible for what happened during the crisis that almost took them under. Every company has to compensate their employees and provide incentives to continue working hard and keeping the company running smoothly but there has to be limits; especially in this case.

    All in all, disgusting, especially the 17MM bonus that Dimon got. I know its not all cash but to even think about such a number is laughable.
