If I were one of these guys, I'd call a book broker and make a deal with a publisher and get my ducks lined up. The pieces could fall into place very quickly given these circumstances. I'd be surprised if I couldn't get things lined up by the end of the week, and this is Wednesday.
After I had a book deal inked, a publicity agent assigned, etc., I'd come forward and refuse the bonus. YOU HAVE TO BE THE FIRST.
I'd be a national hero.
In the forthcoming book, *I* could the history of this thing, I could write myself as the hero, and people would BELIEVE it (money talks). I could dictate to an 'editor' (that's what they call ghost writers these days) and keep the publicity going for a month.
There is no talk show I couldn't get on, etc. Everyone would know my name and listen to what I had to say.
I could then line up a movie, at least a TV movie.
I could end up making more money than this bonus would be, and set myself for life in most any professional capacity given my experience AND my ability to do the right thing.
We WANT to throw each and every one of these guys on a bonfire. The first one to step up can turn it around for themselves.
Now let's see if they're as stupid as they are greedy.
