5. Give 'Em Rope...
Liddy's only been at the helm for a couple months. The guy you want is Hank Greenberg...and hopefully one who will end up having to stand trial for arranging this billion dollar scam.

9. One Would Think...But Look At The Fine Print...
According to the corporation, those "bonus" payments were promised and written into their deals...just like a ballplayer gets a signing bonus to stay with the team.

The pisser is Wall Street specialized in embezzlement for the past 30 years...so much so that they never thought twice. The real criminals in this sad fiasco were the "regulators"...who got too cozy with those they regulated and ignored the whistleblowers and red flags. Those people need to be held accountable.

Cheers...

“One way or another, we’re going to try to figure out how to get these bonus resources back,” said Sen. Christopher J. Dodd, D-Conn., chairman of the Senate Banking Committee.

Dodd has accepted $280,238 in campaign cash from AIG’s political committee and employees in the last 20 years.

“The indignation they’re showing now would have been helpful along the way as this company took unnecessary risks while flying under the regulatory radar screen,” he said of the federal officeholders.
