He'll consult with your bank on cyber security issues at the cut-rate price of only $600,000 per month. That's a bit of a knock-off from what he originally was asking (a cool million).
I gather that the $180,000 he's pulling down as retirement pay ($15,000/month as a O-10 with 40 years in) isn't enough to satisfy the Inner Emperor.
It might be worth it to some banks. Hiring Alexander to consult on cyber-security would be like hiring Willie Sutton to consult on preventing robberies.
Of course, one would never know whether or not Alexander is truly working for himself or if he has undisclosed ties back to the NSA. And it's a pretty safe bet that, in one way or another, he's trading on highly classified knowledge, for otherwise, why would anyone pay him that kind of coin? I'd think that there are very competent private security experts who would do the job for a tenth of that.

Let's make some clear distinctions here. When Alexander retires and share government secrets with corporate entities for his own personal enrichment, it's called strengthening bank security. When Edward Snowden shares secrets with the American public for no money, it's treason.
Any questions?
Exactly correct.
The banks are not buying knowledge, they are buying influence.
wasn't Mussolini the one who defined fascism as the merging or the state with the corporate?
