Following the Cuomo Report on the distribution of last year’s bonus pots, we already have some idea how well US banks pay their top members of staff. Thanks to Pay Czar Kenneth Feinberg, things may soon be clarified further.

The Street reports that Feinberg plans to disclose the earnings of the top 25 best paid employees at Citigroup and BofA within the next 30 days.

It’s not clear whether Feinberg will adopt the suggestion of the Walker Review and also disclose the names of top earning individuals. This would not be a good idea.
