"Arshack said in an email that the error was in “erroneously and disastrously” mistaking Khobragade’s listed base salary of $4,500 per month for what she intended to pay her housekeeper.

The lawyer said Khobragade’s salary needed to be listed on the form so that U.S. embassy officials in India would know that Khobragade had sufficient income to be able to pay her housekeeper $1,560 per month, or $9.75 per hour for a 40-hour workweek. In court documents, authorities claim she paid her housekeeper about $3.31 per hour."

Cd,
That explains $4500 / month story. Now the difference between 9.75 and 3.31 is still a legal hurdle but negotiators have something to get bharara's attention.
one interesting angle in all this if bharara loses face wall street insiders traders at sac will be hugely rewarded. So far they did not seem to be involved but what a windfall for them.
