Bank Pay: Despite Pay Czar's Most Top Executives Have Left Bailed-Out Firms

The administration had tasked Kenneth Feinberg, the Treasury Department's special master on compensation, to evaluate the pay packages of 25 of the most highly compensated executives at each of seven firms receiving exceptionally large amounts of taxpayer assistance.
