Four days before filing bankrupty, Lehman also approved $18.2 million in bonuses for execs that were fired. I am willing to bet that Goldman Sachs guy ain't even getting $18 million to work for the government.
And he was an engineer before he ever got into finance. I don't know, but he sounds to me like someone who got brought along by connections rather than talent. (Which brings me back to my theory that he's Paulson's illegitimate son.)
I don't believe that. What connections would a Kashmiri from Ohio have? I think it is more likely that he was a smart guy who was recruited out of a top business school (Wharton) by Goldman Sachs, put in 10,000 hours a week for a couple of years, and became a trusted and important member of their leadership. Paulson needed a smart, hard worker in government, so he pulled this guy over. Sounds like a golden boy to me, not a George Bush.
