Well..the entire issue of the AIG bonuses is all populist/mob mentality led by republikans whose only purpose is to discredit the president and the secretary of the treasury...all in an attempt to torpedo the changes this country needs desperately.

He's not involved in dismantling the credit default swaps. Fuck him. He would have been unemployed in October if he had worked for any other company. The fact that he sent this letter to the NY Times demonstrates what a fucking baby he is.

Actually, it demonstrates what bullshit governing via populism does.

This guy was certainly grandstanding by going to the NYT.
He benefitted from bonuses when AIG was riding high on those credit-default swaps, so he should have been prepared to suffer when the company went into the shitter, regardless of whether he was directly involved in these deals or not. And the management at AIG was stupid for promising these bonuses. This dude should be mad at the CEO only, not the politicians.

He should be mad at himself for not seeing the writing on the wall the way the others who already left did. This is one instance where someone who was rewarded handsomely during the run-up isn't having his risk socialized. Good riddance.

That's crap. He could have walked and made more money (he basically made $1 last year). His mistake was to stay. You guys can be pissed off at the money that they make but that's good old capitalism working.

Actually, "good old capitalism working" is AIG out of business and these fuckers in prison.
Unfortunately the fallout from AIG failing would be catastrophic.
