People walk past a Bank of America branch in New York August 13, 2009. Kenneth Feinberg, 63, may face his toughest challenge yet as the Obama administration's pay czar, exerting authority over the highest-paid employees at massive companies bailed out by U.S. taxpayers. Friday is the deadline for several companies that received taxpayer bailouts, including Citigroup Inc, American International Group Inc, Bank of America Corp, Chrysler Financial, Chrysler Group LLC, General Motors Co and GMAC Inc., to submit their plans for compensating their 25 highest-paid employees.
