Note: Many of the Wall Street firms that provided bonuses were … for all practical purposes … bankrupt companies … under federal bankruptcy laws these bonuses might even be considered “voidable transfers” … the American people deserve transparency and openness … and they also deserve a complete report on who got the first $350 billion and how it has been spent … while we’re waiting for that report … individuals like Merrill Lynch’s CEO should be made to return any bonuses they received
