As someone noted above, he was entitled to receive the payments under the terms of his severance package. That package was fixed (I believe) before he took on the position of Vice President. The value did not fluctuate with the value of HAL stock or by reason of the contracts HAL gained or did not gain.

There is no conflict of interest. Believe me, the ethics constraints on government officials are pretty clearly spelled out. If there was something improper with him receiving deferred comp. from HAL, someone in the US Office of Government Ethics would have been all over this.

If I am missing something here, please feel free to educate me. Prefarably a reference to the US Code section being violated, or to the CFR section that pertains to regulate this would be helpful.
