The New and the Old at Morgan Stanley

John Mack, the new head of Morgan Stanley, moved very quickly to correct an error made by the Morgan directors in guaranteeing him $25,000,000 in compensation. He did the right thing and decided to have his pay set after the results of what will hopefully become a new Morgan Stanley are in.

The old Morgan Stanley continues to rack up the legal expenses. They now say that the expenses relative to the Perelman case could exceed $1.2 billion. This is in addition to the judicial award of $1.45 billion to Perelman. And to think that Purcell could have settled the case for $20,000,000!
