CHICAGO (Reuters) - Citigroup Inc says two of its traders are exempt from a government review of the bank's top executive pay packages, The New York Times reported on Saturday.

The Times said CitiGroup submitted to the government on Friday documentation on compensation for its 25 senior executives and highest-paid employees.

It cited "people involved in that process" who said CitiGroup told the U.S. Treasury Department that energy trader Andrew J. Hall, with a pay package of $98 million, and a second unidentified trader who was paid more than $30 million, were exempt from review.

I would recognize that voice anywhere. 

George Soros I presume?

Or the more obvious answer:  Russian.

Actually, the problem with HFT is that the old floor traders used to do exactly this.  They just kept the trades in their pocket and gave the fish the chum.

HFT is liquidity.  If you don't want to trade at a limit price, then don't put a limit out there.  Cheese.  How hard is this?

One of these days someone is going to have the balls to dig in and report about Cramer's "charity" activities

For more weekend attempted robbery stories, I give the quote of the day to "J.B." whose life was saved by his big steel balls 72 year old boss.

"I'm breathing. They dead."
