While most companies do have some sort of compensation packages for performance, they also have a base salary their executives at entitled to. $800k for a CEO or ex CEO executive doesn't seem excessive to me. If it seems excessive to you than tell me what are the comparable CEO pay packages for a non founder CEO of a publicly traded company ??
I agree with you there, 800k for a CEO package is not insane for a company with the revenue that FFN has. Sadly, whatever CEO you put there, unless he can magically refinance something that was already horrible to begin with, I do not see a lot of possibilities for him achieving much... but, does obviously not change that he needs to be compensated for the work done.
