“I would bet they wouldn’t be willing to adjust a package because his family is accustomed to a higher standard of living, nor should they.”

Of course they shouldn’t. But they should be able to adjust a package if assets that would normally have been in retirement accounts (and therefore not counted) for some reason aren’t. Not millions of dollars, obviously, but I wouldn’t doubt they’d “shelter” some reasonable amount if there really wasn’t any 401k, IRA, etc.

Lizzard, still in the lab, but about to leave. I’ll get your IM in a few.
