Does Andrew work for Citigroup, or does Citigroup work for Andrew? At my company: if I invent something the makes massive profits for the company, it is still the companies intellectual property. I can make no claim of ownership on the invention, nor the "profits". Why is this so different for a bank? Did Andrew somehow put HIS OWN money on the line to make Citigroup megabucks where he would deserve a 10% cut? Since when do employees come in line before shareholders? And if Citigroup is a company that bleeds all it's profits as bonuses to employees, who in their right mind would want to be a Citigroup shareholder? Wait a minute.

If Andrew was smart, he'd work on a deferred compensation scheme where the money would be parceled out over 10-20 years. That's still $5-10 million a year!
