Is he the type of man who would only give himself a bonus if he had earned it?

The BOD gives the bonus via the Compensation Committee (GF/CJ). CF just takes it.

Is he the type of man who has big bills and needs to pay them anyway he can?

So he says, pretty much. He must be desperate to have mentioned this in public.

Is he the type of man who would try to get the last money available from a sinking ship?

No real knowledge, but it sure looks like that.

Would he only give himself a bonus if he knew better days are ahead for everyone?

See above but discretionary bonuses are for past performance.
