Why don't they think outside the box instead of looking in the same circles for the same tired people who were so disastrous.

A friend asked me if things were really hopeless and I said yes. There will be no meaningful change or reform and things will continued suck1ng they way they have since Reagan.

I'll take the job. I can run the bank into the ground as well as anybody and I'll do it for half the price and only a silver parachute.

Can't they find someone corrupt enough to fill the job? I find it hard to believe.

...and I failed at math just as well as the best of them. (Check their scholastic records!). Hire me. I'll pay you a commission.

If "the best way to rob a bank is to own one", and clearly that old adage is true, I'm all ears. And pockets...

Of course the cant find a new CEO. Every one who is qualified is stinking rich already. Why work ?

Tuberider does! At their level of compensation I'll retire Friday next.

Alright. You win BofA. I will take the job. Here are my terms. I will work the first 18 mos, no pay, to show I'm sincere. You pay my relocation costs, provide me a car (with a driver) for the first 18 months, as well as all the communication options I choose to use.
Upon completion of the first 18 months, we can negotiate my stipend, understanding that it will always be tied to my direct performance, and direct compensation will be no more than 10% on top of average wage earners within the company. Indirect compensation will be 2% of calculable corporate earnings during my tenure, but only accessible based on the quality of my tenure over time, as directly related to employees, stockholders AND customers. In other words, I will be handsomely benefited, but only if everyone else remains profitable and employed.

let's nationalize it, strip it of its toxic assets, break it into a few smaller banks and privatize it

I'd take that job for 1/100th what they are paying these guys and probably could do a better job.
