&lt;p&gt;Given all the five- and seven-letter words (squid and vampire, respectively) hurled at Goldman Sachs back in &#39;09, you can&#39;t blame Goldman CEO Lloyd Blankfein for sucking up to Kenny Feinberg, a.k.a. President Obama&#39;s former Pay Czar. However, you can certainly bust his chops for it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;embeddedObject&quot; src=&quot;http://content.screencast.com/users/dloos/folders/Jing/media/ccc6bb1f-0c20-49d4-adb5-dce5169e5415/00000197.png&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;173&quot; height=&quot;251&quot; align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;In a September 2010 interview (just released yesterday) with the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, Feinberg said, &quot;I had no jurisdiction over Goldman, but Goldman had me up there to see Blankfein four times.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Feinberg, who did have salary and bonus jurisdiction over several other big firms, recounts what Lloyd told him when he swung by the Goldman offices: &quot;Ken, if we do it this way, if we only pay our people $600,000 cash, and any bonus that they get, they get in stock, and they won&#39;t get it for five years, am I doing OK?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Feinberg recalled then telling Lloyd, like a master responding to his trusty retriever, &quot;Yeah, you&#39;re making some improvements, Lloyd. That&#39;s good.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Bloomberg)&lt;/p&gt;
