Don't expect to see a smile on Vikram Pandit's face in the hallways of Citigroup today. President Obama will announce later this morning that he's imposing a cap of $500,000 on the compensation of top executives at companies that receive a large amount of bailout money. The new rules will also require greater transparency on the use of corporate jets, splashy parties, office renovations and conferences. [Reuters, NYT]
