I call bullshit. I don't care how big your company is. If some employee is getting $100M, the CEO is going to know about it. There couldn't be more than a handful of people at that company making that much.

I got the impression that he was aware of it, but had no reason to remember the specifics of it. He knew it sounded about right, which is what I'd expect from a CEO months (or years) after the fact.

You have to wonder if that's really true though. Even the CEOs of the best performing investment banks don't make more than a fraction of that.

The bonus go to the trader, not the CxO.

>If you read page 24, he said it's not unusual for people to be paid $100M. Do you expect him to remember all the people and amounts paid?

That's a lie. Do you really think Google would be paying someone $100M or something close to that and the CEO wouldn't hear of it?
