"Edelman hired him as Kimber's chief financial officer on a consulting basis and paid him an annual salary of $125,000 [for 8 years]. Prosecutors say Edelman also approved a one-time, $3 million bonus ... helped the firearms wholesaler go from a startup to a $40 million-a-year business, earning himself a $5 million bonus in the process."

There's bound to be more than this story (e.g. sloppy reporting).

$3 million bonus plus $5 million bonus plus 8 years of $125,000 each equals: $9 Million legit...versus a $10 Million government claim.

That's a 10% dispute. Odd.

Maybe the government is claiming that the $10 million is over and above the annual salary and the $3 million bonus. Shusterman's lawyer is the one claiming that Shusterman got another $5 million bonus. That may have been embezzled and part of the $10 million.

WOW a bonus that equals 1/8 the gros sales of the company. Are they still lloking for areplacement.
