US Banker CEOs Lied to Congress - by John Olagues

This article is about how the CEOs of the largest Banks in the world lied to the U.S. Congress about the extent of their equity compensation bonuses. Their deliberate lies were pre-meditated and were intended to deceive the Congress and the viewing public. Specifically at the 1 hour and 24 minutes into the afternoon session of the Congressional hearing on February 11, 2009, Representative Bill Posey from Florida asked the bankers to declare the value of all the equity compensation that they were granted during 2007. They answered with flat out lies or artificially low values.
