TARP Madness:Most Bailed Out Bank Executives Still on the Job



The AP reports:
AP's review of the more than 200 publicly traded banks that received federal bailout money found that about 87 percent of the top three executives in 2006 — typically the chief executive, operating and financial officers — still remain on the job.

And that number is deceptively low, since those few executives who left their jobs often did so because they retired — or died. Several stayed on as directors or in consulting positions.
You'll want to read the whole article,rent seeking has never been more brazen than here.TARP is another name for theft.
