The CEO of Washington Mutual, which just failed and was bought by JP, has been on the job 17-days -- so the failure really isn't his fault, he just got there. But now he's out of a job because the previous dumb asses ran the bank into the ground. But that's okay, with his hiring bonus and firing bonus, he'll gross $20 million for the 2.5 weeks on the job.

Meanwhile, the FDIC will be putting some money in to cover depositors.
