PS11 -- Barclays received billions of dollars from its insurance arrangements with AIG, including $8.5bn from funds provided by the United States taxpayers to bail out AIG.

PS11--I think that only one or two people on this list work at firms that took government money and needed it. Another 7-8 were forced to take government money, even though they were well-capitalized and had the confidence of market. Maybe that is why these are the top 25; they survived or even excelled and did not require government support to do so.

JJR-- do a little research: three of the top five above took ZERO gov't money. Barclays, Deutsche and CS all made it thru this crisis w/ no gov't assistance whatsoever.

I am SO over worshipping the Titans of Finance. They're simply the biggest lemmings apt to run over the cliff again now that they've climbed back off the back of the US taxpayer. Big yawn.

It seems to me that while all are exceptional individuals they all needed government help for their respective organizations to survive and now that they are in a bit better shape they are complaining about the government that saved them

Let me be the first to say, I am open to any offers these fine people may throw my way. Now don't get me wrong, I don't mind being the top salesman for a company that does a little over $2 million annualy, but if I have to keep it up much longer I'm going to jerk my wheel off the edge of an overpass. I'm a big fish in a small pond, and whom ever said that that was a good thing is either clueless or selling something. So I await, with great anticipation, the offers I deserve from any one of the fine people listed above.
