Very good idea. Raines should forfit a big chunk of his ill-gotten gains.

FWIW, Dick Fuld of Lehman Bros took home $490 million during his 15 year tenure that ended with Lehman filing bankruptcy.

It seems like traditional capitalism: people bet big, like 35:1 leverage, and get huge paychecks when they win. They take risks and get rewarded. That's the essence of capitalism.

But if when they lose, its someone else's money. They move on to the next job. Huh? What kind of capitalism is that?
