Former Merrill Lynch Exec takes bailout money to buy plosh apartment.

Crooks and Liars:


Don't, as a rule, get surprised by the utter gall of these Wall Street executives, or the complete farce of how these TARP bailout funds are managed but this is a bit much.


Peter Kraus worked hard in the three months he spent at Merrill Lynch this fall — and the $25 million in bonus cash he earned for his troubles was just enough to allow him to afford to buy Carl and Barbaralee Spielvogel's apartment at 720 Park for $36.63 million, twice what they paid for it two years ago.

Look for other CEO's to follow as there is over 100 banks that will lock their doors and take the customres money as a ballon package. With the help of FDIC the secret is safe from the public and all will see their money gone as the Executives take the money and run.
