LOL, where did he get the $10 million figure from? Also was it him that drove Merrill towards the wall?

"Considering I didn't screw up as badly as I could have, don't you think I deserve a nice bonus? You know, along the lines of the average annual salary of 400 Americans?"

It's "just a really big number". Remember how the treasury guy said the bailout figure was "just a really big number"
MiniMe you need to make over $3 M per year and work less than 10 hours a week to be considered for bonus money.
