If they want bonuses for wins they gain when taking other peoples money to the casino (called stock trade and the perversions of it, futures, ...), they should also be forced to take the the full hit if they lose. Win 1 million, get 10000, lose 10 million, get nothing but also don't pay anything isn't really working.

That's the worst part - they get bonuses win or lose. The firm may pay millions in fines, but the individuals responsible get bonuses.

Of course. Banker logic: Transaction one: 10 Million profit, get Bonus of 10000 Transaction two: 10 Million lost, don't get Bonus Transaction three: 10 Million lost, don't get Bonus

Sum up the Bonus: it's 10000. For a 10 Million loss in sum.

Of course, it's more complicated that that, but the concept is the same...
