Lunchtime Links: 10 people who will supposedly earn $10m at Goldman Sachs

Following Lloyd Blankfein's glowering performance at the FCIC hearings yesterday, ABC News has assembled a list of ten people, two of them in London, one of them a woman and one over 50, who it says will probably earn more than $10m this year. They are:

1) Pierre-Henri Flamand, London-based global head of prop trading group Goldman Sachs Principal Strategies.

2) Ashok Varadhan, global head of foreign exchange trading in North America.

3) David Heller, head of global equity.

4) Ed Eisler, head of interest rate trading.

5) Raanan Agus, manager of internal hedge fund Goldman Sachs Investment Partners.

6) Marc Spilker, co-head of asset management.

7) Harvey Schwartz, head of global sales and co-head of the securities division.

8) Isabelle Ealet, London-based global head of commodities.

9) Gordon Dyal, global head of M&A.

10) Richard Friedman, global head of merchant banking (principal investment division).

    @Henry - we try and put them up around 1pm when the US news comes out. Admittedly they're often later than this. Will endeavour to make amends.
