We’re slowing to a crawl around here and will have the lights out next week. The first week of January we’ve prepared something a little different to keep you entertained while we’re putting the finishing touches on our tan. Then we’re back full force on January 9th.

We’ll leave you today with a couple of nuggets from our UK friends at Here Is The City:

  • According to The Evening Standard’s ‘City Spy’ column Monday, a ‘senior executive in hedge fund sales’ at Goldman was so pissed off after hearing his bonus number that he returned to his desk, picked up his chair and hurled it across the trading floor. The chair is said to have demolished a ‘bank’ of PCs. With only $11 billion to go around you’d think this guy would realize that everyone would have to sacrifice a little!

  • Senior brass at ABN Amro are being forced to give back significant portions of their 2004 bonuses in conjunction with the $80 million i fines levied on the firm for its alleged complicity in terrorist money-laundering schemes. Chairman Rijkman Groenink will return 40% of his wad, CFO Tom de Swann will hand back 30%, and four others have returned 20% of their payouts for a total of $1.2 million.
