The out-of-pocket payments include $275,000 from former Chairman and CEO Kerry Killinger; $100,000 from former Chief Operating Officer Stephen Rotella; and $50,000 from David Schneider, who ran WaMu's home-loans division."

If you ever run into Kerry Killinger loudly ask him to do the world a favor and die.

My best bud's Wife was an executive with Wamu and lost 400-500k in stock options, they were on vacation in Costa Rica when it all went down. He called my a few days later and I had to inform him that FDIC took it over, later that day they went to a place with internet access to read about it. KK needs to be in a jail cell.
