Wonder what the severance package for the former WaMu ceo was. He managed to run it right into the dirt. Impressive.

Looks like Killinger made a real killing (in more ways than one). It’s good to be the CEO (of a bankrupt company). Sad shame for the rank and file, but them CEOs gotta be paid.

I’m on a conference call right now in which Fishman and a JPM guy are explaining what happened over the last few weeks.

In addition, he is eligible for stock awards that include 612,000 restricted shares, which will vest over three years. He could also receive options to buy 5 million additional shares, with some of the shares vesting over time and some vesting linked to the shares' performance.

The chance to get 5,612,000 shares of WaMu. Well, maybe if you get one share per certificate they can keep you warm for the winter.

These are criminals. Legal stealing and no question about it. Wonder how many car loan could have been made with $12.65 million. This is the root cause for the banking and loan organizations have done with the depositors money.

He may have to be paid $1,000,000 USD for his 3 weeks on duty and not a penny more than that. If “Mr. Rich Bitch” complains tell him to take a flying F-ck!

A couple weeks ago, the WaMu Board of Directors properly (if late) fired the old CEO and hired a new one, Fishman. You’re spouting the new hire’s contract of a couple weeks ago, which really has nothing to do with the bailout! Yesterday Fishman was fired also, by the FDIC! WaMu lucked out, and now has Jamie Dimon as its CEO. So those of us who bank there went from the Worst Bank in the country to the Best Bank in the country overnite!

This is why WAMU is no more. The company was obviously run by a pack of imbeciles and nincompoops.
