" If the board didn't do its duty and an agreement was not properly negotiated, it doesn't matter who later does or does not take issue with it." good morning jim, I suspect once again we will agree to disagree. Do you believe the brk BODs is independent and uncle Warren answers to them ? Was it appropriate for Buffett to buy and promote IBM, rather than buy and promote brk? Did Ginny disgorge any of her comp for over promising and under delivering for years? During the banking crisis which key employees disgorged compensation for bankrupting many of our largest banks ? Did any banking idiots disgorge their pay for buying 30 year treasuries yielding 3 percent? The SEC, state of Delaware division of securities etc, ALL agreed the pay package was fairly DISCLOSED, and allowed it to become effective. AFTER he earns it, they should take it away ? Sorry pal, no way. Do you follow American politics much, old friend? MUSK may have F U money, but that doesn't mean the , usual suspects, aren't going to try and Fk him out of half of it, or more. BTW, you disclosed you were an insider in several public companies but that wasn't what I asked. Have you ever been an insider of a public company regulated by our SEC, nasd, in the USA, etc? I have no idea how the security regulators act in Australia, Peru, etc. Thank you. BTW, as a Vegas guy for over 50 years , I'm laying 2 to 1 your response gets over 28 recs, what do you think ?
