Should Citigroup pay oil futures trader Andrew Hall his $100m contractual bonus after taking $45b in government aid?
The government should be treated like a shareholder, and shareholders only care about the value of their investment, if that bonus would affect Citigroup negatively then shareholders must vote against it. In my opinion they should give him his bonus because if they didn’t they will lose this trader to another competitor, and no one will work for any gov. aided company again, so wall street then will lose its competitive advantage over other financial centers.
