The Telegraph: The return of the bonus bonanza for bankers
A year ago, the financial system was in meltdown and bankers were the villains of the piece. So how can it be that Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan now have billions to pay out in salaries and bonuses? Edmund Conway explains.

"People have to wake up and soon to this financial criminal banking cartel."
They will.
Desperation provides a keen sense of focus.

Some great comments...
Bankers are now so far removed from reality and their moral compass is so wrong that nothing can even make them consider the fact they dont deserve their bonus.

A clear article about the problem. The final paragraph sums it up. If there was ever a clear case for a windfall tax, this is it.

Windfalls are for for apple pies.
Leave the banks to their own devices and see how they fare.
Stop QE NOW.
Stop bailouts. NOW.
Payback our money. NOW.
..... I'm waiting.

No response, positive or negative, to last week's 'old school' links.
Perhaps this hits the mark?

I think bankers and their ilk are receiving the wages of a simple fraud. Any child in the world that's ever played with a karaoke machine knows what happens when the microphone is brought too close to the speaker. The GCSE-level mathematics behind this GCSE-level physical phenomenon are identical to what happens when a laudable fractional reserve banking system, with a loan-to-deposit ratio of less than 100%, is corrupted to a criminal pyramid scheme, with a loan-to-deposit ratio above 100%.
It is inconceivable (to me) that the sophisticates running our financial system were, and are, not aware of what they were, and are doing. Which poses a fundamental question; did they know what they are doing, or didn't they? It doesn't look good either way.
For my own part, I am certain that Greg Pytel is correct in his analysis and urge readers of this website to read his work.
