Kenneth R. Feinberg

Kenneth Feinberg is a lawyer and negotiator appointed as the "compensation czar" in the Obama Administration. He is changed with setting the salaries of officials at many companies which benefitted from the Bush and Obama administration's bailouts in 2008–9. He has previously supervised the September 11th Victims' Compensation Fund, and the Hokie Spirit Fund for victims of the Virginia Tech massacre. Feinberg's efforts in those cases have been widely praised.
