   (CNSNews.com) – A bankruptcy court ordered $368,500 in bonuses   
   for 20 top managers and employees of Solyndra, the solar panel   
   firm that received $535 million from taxpayers two years before   
   filing for bankruptcy and laying off 11,000 employees. The   
   bonuses kicked in on March 31.   
      
   The 20 high-level workers earned a total base pay of $2.49   
   million before the bonuses. One of the executives earned a base   
   annual salary of $206,499 and received a $30,000 incentive under   
   the court order handed down on Feb. 22 by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge   
   Mary F. Walrath in Delaware.   
      
   Another executive earning $189,000 in base pay was awarded a   
   $20,000 bonus and a third, who earned $190,800,  received   
   $15,000 more.   
      
   Most of the bonuses awarded were between $15,000 and $25,000,   
   with the three top beneficiaries receiving $30,000, while the   
   three lowest received $10,000 each.   
      
   The Energy Department finalized a loan guarantee of $535 million   
   to Solyndra on Sept. 3, 2009, funded through the American   
   Recovery and Reinvestment Act – better known as the $787 billion   
   stimulus.   
      
   On Aug. 31, 2011, Solyndra filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.   
   Chapter 11 allows a debtor company to restructure and work out   
   agreements with creditors without being liquidated.   
      
   Court documents referred to the bonuses as a “Key Employee   
   Incentive Plan.” The ruling determined the payouts to be “in the   
   best interests of the Debtors, their creditors and all other   
   parties in interest.”   
      
   The court documents did not identify the individuals getting the   
   various increases, but did provide their titles, base salaries   
   and bonus awarded:   
      
   1. The senior manager for information systems earned a base   
   salary of $157,000, and got a $12,500 bonus.   
      
   2. The network administrator who earned $75,190 got an increase   
   of $15,000.

   $162,400, got an increase of $19,500.   
   5. An equipment maintenance supervisor earning a base pay of   
   $120,000 got an “incentive” of $22,500.   
      
   6. The senior director of product line maintenance earning base   
   pay of $206,499 got an additional $30,000.   
      
   7. The facilities project manager earning $108,150 got $30,000.

   dennis:  Like Obamacare, the "stimulus" bill and the "jobs   
   bill", these "green energy" schemes are actually money   
   laundering activities for the Obama administration.  It takes   
   lots of dough to destroy American capitalism and implement   
   Marxism, you know.  So, they use taxpayer money for this like   
   everything else.

   What I'd like to know is How many "new businesses" can pay out   
   so many 6 figure salaries from the starting gate?  Obviously was   
   fishy from the starting gate...This company never was set up to   
   succeed.  It obviously was set up to take the $ and run....

   As a country we will continue to have decisions like this   
   because money gets you into office; not your record.   
      
   Judges have to run for office; they have to kiss alot of butt to   
   get even to that point.   
      
   And where is the payoff? Look at how well these judges do.   
      
   Might not be obvious while they are on the bench.

   I  just do not get it......... a failed company allowed to give   
   raises and bonuses...  have any of us been in that situration.   
   A bankrupt judge allowing that, instead of giving it back to the   
   tax payers......   very odd..

   How is it possible to run a company into the ground- bankrupt:   
   Then be paid bonus money for doing a good job. Maybe this judge   
   has got to be fired to.

   If criminal charges are being dicussed for GSA partiers, why   
   would not the same be considered for these Obama Department of   
   Energy 'sham-companies'? Sham executives and managers apply for   
   grants and loans, pretend they are planning to hire 1,000 -   
   2,000 employees, pay themselves, pay grant/loan reviewer fees   
   and some legal/advice fees, rent a building and a photographer   
   to take some photos for the media, then claim bankruptcy, and
