Dear Reader,
An FT investigation into the recent collapse of 25 large US corporations has found their top management amassed $3.3bn from share sales, payoffs and other rewards during the period 1999 to 2001. Eliot Spitzer, the New York State attorney general, has responded to the FT's findings by announcing that he is investigating the legality of stock options and other compensation awarded to chief executives of now bankrupt companies.
Find out who made those fortunes and how, even as their companies headed for bankruptcy. Plus, what lessons can be learned by regulators, managers and investors?
FT.com's analysis includes an exclusive table of the 61 executives and directors who each collected $10m or more from companies that have filed for bankruptcy since January 2001.
Put today's scandal into historical perspective and air your views on executive renumeration in our online discussion.
