There is a lot of complain about in executive compensation. High on my list is Sundar Pichai. And you can go way beyond that to the likes of Marissa Mayer or Meg Whitman. The intent behind insider trading and similar things is that you are effectively stealing from shareholders or the company. But you want to use Steve Jobs as an example? Whether you like Jobs or not, the wealth he created for Apple shareholders is completely undeniable. By comparison to a lot of executives today, JObs' pay packet wouldn't even hit the top 10. Trying to argue that options backdating or any other such allegation somehow defrauded any Apple shareholders is such a stretch it belies someone who typically just hates Jobs and shouldn't be taken seriously.
