whitehouse doesnt want to pay 1 citigroup employee 100 million

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Phibro LLC, the energy trading arm of beleaguered bank Citigroup, was mum Tuesday after the White House criticized a reported $100 million pay plan for its top trader Andrew Hall as "out of whack."

The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday that Phibro's Hall, a trader known for huge long-term punts in the oil market as well as for his vast and eclectic art collection, was pressing the company to honor a 2009 pay package amounting to about $100 million despite Citigroup's financial woes.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said on Monday "one could easily come to the conclusion that that's probably a bit out of whack on any pay scale."
