Flip Side: Our guest today is Ron Rapacious, a Goldman Sachs partner. Ron, through September Goldman has set aside $16.7 billion to pay bonuses. How much do you expect to receive?

Rapacious: Only $20 to $25 million. They will probably screw me again.

FS: You deserve more?

RR: My department has already made $1.2 billion this year.

FS: What do you do to make so much money?

RR: Serving the public interest and spurring the American economy.

FS: How do you do that?

RR: By trading legal futures.
