How Goldman Sachs Partners Get Paid: Interview With CEO Lloyd Blankfein (WATCH)

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Goldman Sachs stunned many in the Wall Street community Friday by awarding chief executive Lloyd Blankfein $9 million as his year-end bonus, far less than many were anticipating, and none of it in cash.

Following weeks of speculation about what the top executive at Wall Street's leading investment bank would take home as his discretionary pay for 2009, the company revealed in a securities filing it was paying Blankfein 58,381 shares of company restricted stock.

I bet the douchebag has it all sliced & diced within minutes into untraceable paper derivatives that he'll SELL RIGHT BACK to the U.S. government to the tune of $ 900 MILLION in small denomination, unmarked bills*!

* EURO bills, of course!
