This is so far beyond disgusting, it’s unbelievable. Now the media are releasing names and addresses of AIG employees (some are execs, some are worker bees) so that they can receive death threats, so that angry mobs can stand outside their doors. This is mob rule, folks. Meanwhile, the FNM/FRE folks are expressing dismay that these bonuses are or might be subject to clawback. They wrote the bill that provided for the bonuses, but couldn’t be troubled to read it. This is just sick.
If any of the recipients of these bonuses are actually stupid enough to give them back, the IRS will still tax them. “Constructive receipt,” doncha know.
