New Thain is worse than you might think.
Saying it's hubris doesn't do it justice/
When John Thain became Merrill Lynch’s CEO in early 2008, he hired Michael S. Smith Design to revamp his office suite, spending approximately $1.22 million according to documents.

But, fortunately, he's now been canned by BoA.
John Thain, former chief executive of Merrill Lynch & Co, has been ousted from Bank of America Corp after the bank discovered surprise losses at the brokerage it bought three weeks ago.

New Ooh, neat
"Thain was considered a candidate to become U.S. Treasury Secretary if U.S. Sen. John McCain had defeated Barack Obama in the race for the White House ... Earlier in his career, Thain was chief operating officer at Goldman Sachs"

Hmm, small world.
