Perhaps I'm not in the light about this. I'm asking that someone clue me
in. But as far as I know, the money Cheney is getting is deferred
compensation for work already provided before he was VP. He does have
about half of million stock options in HAL but considering the type of
options that CEOs get they were most likely were already deep in the money.
This does constitute a financial relationship, but I fail to see how Cheney
really benefits if HAL makes more money.
