Fraud*
According to the Collins English Dictionary 10th Edition fraud can be defined as: "deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage".[1] In the broadest sense, a fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain or to damage another individual; the related adjective is fraudulent. The specific legal definition varies by legal jurisdiction. Fraud is a crime, and also a civil law violation. Defrauding people or entities of money or valuables is a common purpose of fraud, but there have also been fraudulent "discoveries", e.g. in science, to gain prestige rather than immediate monetary gain

While the bank didn’t disclose Blankfein’s cash bonus, a person familiar with the payout said his total bonus was about 70 percent restricted stock and 30 percent cash, like last year. On that basis, the total would be about $19 million including $5.7 million in cash.

Pay for Blankfein, whose $67.9 million bonus for 2007 set a Wall Street record, has trailed Dimon’s since then as Goldman Sachs’s profitability lagged behind that of JPMorgan, which this week reported a third consecutive year of record profit. Dimon, 56, who leads the biggest U.S. bank by assets, had his compensation cut in half to $11.5 million because of a trading loss.
