The fact that they can't give clear numbers speaks volumes. The day before they were clear about numbers and suddenly it's not? CYA is in full force at the IMF.
A spokesman for the international financial institution said Strauss Kahn is eligible for a one time pay-out of more than $250,000, and he is also eligible for payments from the Fund's standard staff pension.And again, this is someone who worked at high levels in the French government so is already looking at a very comfortable pension from that time as well.
On top of that, the spokesman said Friday, Strauss-Kahn will receive an annual bonus equal to 65 percent of his staff pension payout.
That is a significant change from a payout of 60 to 70 percent of his annual salary that the IMF described on Thursday, which it now says is not correct.
