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...
