Taylor bonus in “Kompensa”.

Remember that Michael Milken (the junk bond king) in late 80’s received a $500 Million bonus. Drexel Burnham Lambert told WSJ that he generated $5 Billion in earnings that year and 10% of that was reasonable bonus. Thus Taylor referring to less than 10% of Axe Capital’s net earnings being reasonable was in line with Wall Street thinking
Billions is awesome....but there’s only one beat podcast guest

Needs to talk about the stories more and the writing more. They just like talking about behind the scenes stuff that no one cares about (like how great the boom operator is...)

the show is fine, often intelligently written and witty.; however, the podcast is abysmal, a long exercise in self-aggrandizement. So disappointed. How about some critical anaylsis, some dicussion over controversial or provocative plot and/or character development. Sharing the difficulties filming more intersting than everyone and everything masterfully crushing it. Brian, you sound like Clyde using three adjectives for a simple drive into the paint. C'mon, you're a Dylan fan.
