Is Lehman Bros. CEO a Jam Up victim? Or are people just angry at him

Time for serious discussion, folks.

Background:
Lehman Brothers CEO Richard S. Fuld has been grilled by Congress - and mad people with pink sheets of paper - the past couple days. He's allegedly accepted $480 million (he says under $250M) in bonus money as his financial firm spiraled toward bankruptcy (he was also lobbying for a government bailout as he collected his millions.)

Congress, and most Americans, have a huge problem with that seeing as taxpayers are now footing the bill. Fuld was taken to task by both Congress and a former employee who punched him in the face at the gym.

So here's the discussion:
Is Fuld being jammed up (under most circumstances, this photo would be at least Code 3)? Or is he just feeling the wrath of karma and greed?

Under optimum conditions, a Jam Up is delivered by somebody who is in a jovial mood - their day just got better because they jammed somebody up (refer to the Gold Standard). But, when the potential Jam Up is fueled by anger, I fail to recognize it as such.

There's a difference between a Jam Up and somebody getting their Come up'ins. This photo is not a Jam Up.

Discuss. (NOTE: The blog now allows anomymous bloggers. Feel free to contribute in that fashion.)
