 Thanks Tim..I was just 
wondering if there had been a way that the staff could have got a better deal. 
Of course I know that JPM is hiring many of the top execs back to 
BS..

  Question 
  
  This never got that far. The credit concerns forced the Fed 
  to choose a partner for BS and then indemnify that partner. I was involved 
  in three of these deals in the 1987 crash, where my bank washed the 
  credit until the deals were announced after the 
  market closed.
  There was no choice.
  And no, in bankrupcy 
  court, shareholders stand in line and they are last in line. The emplyees, 
  unless they have an unusual clause in their contract [think 
  golden parachute with protection] are at best one step above that, but 
  generally are at the same level.
