[QUOTE]Originally posted by CashCowMoo: [QB] http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,428641,00.html WaMu Gives New CEO Mega Payout as Bank Fails Nice work if you can get fired from it. That's just what one Alan H. Fishman might have thought when he woke up Friday morning. Fishman was the new chief executive officer for Washingon Mutual WaMu the nation's largest savings and loan, which was taken over Thursday night by federal bank regulators and quickly dumped in a fire sale to JPMorgan Chase for the Wal-Mart-like price of $1.9 billion. But don't cry for Fishman, who reportedly was sky-high literally last night, on a flight from New York to Seattle, when WaMu collapsed. Even though he's only been on the job for less than three weeks, he's bailing out with parachute worth close to $20 million, according to an executive compensation analysis conducted for the New York Times by James F. Reda Associates. That's right, $20 million for 17 days on the job ... and his company failed. Fishman, who formerly was chairman of Meridian Capital Group, apparently was much coveted by WaMu, which was counting on him to lead the failing thrift out of mortgage troubles that pushed the bank to a $3.3 billion second-quarter loss. According to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, WaMu threw a $7.5 million bonus at Fishman when it hired him on Sept. 8, and guaranteed him an immediate cash severence of $11.6 million both of which he gets to keep. He also was eligible for annual bonuses of up to 365 percent of his annual base pay set at $1 million to go with millions of shares of company stock. Fishman does lose out on a big bonus that would have kicked in had he remained on the job through 2009. Documents show WaMu was going to pay their new boss $8 million to simply not screw up and get fired all negotiated as the Seattle-based banking giant's loses climbed to an estimated $20 billion ____________________________________________ This stuff makes me sick to my stomach. How could you have such a flawed character to take that? Nobody has integrity on Wall Street. [/QB][/QUOTE]
