Please be aware that we have received assurances from Attorney General Cuomo that no names will be released by his office before he completes a security review which is expected to take at least a week. To the extent that we meet certain participation targets, it is not expected that the names would be released, at all.

Is this extortion, or blackmail?

IMHO Cuomo broke the law.

A local Talk Host read a resignation letter from one of the AIG managers who was being told to return the money. I didn't catch where he was reading it from, but the man really raked AIG's Top Boss over the coals.... he went into the fact that the managers who brought AIG to the precipice all had either resigned or been fired long ago... that the managers who got the bonus's were all there to try and clean up the mess and return AIG to a solid house... and these same managers working for the last year were (almost) all working for a salary of $1.

I forget hearing those things in the Press or in the hearings.

I wish I worked for A.I.G. I got a bonus this year and I’d love for those bastards to come try and take it.

Hope everyone saw the resignation letter to Liddy from an Executive VP of AIG and he and others got hosed. The people who should be surrendering their compensation are all the members of Congress.

This is hysterical. Risking blowing the 160 billion we poured into AIG over 0.1% in CONTRACTED bonuses, all so that our Congressional Overlords can grandstand to the slobbering mouth breathers.

Weren’t the “names” eventually released by Cuomo or someone. How did the bus tours know which houses to feature and where to set up the protests?

I agree with the criticism of Andrew Cuomo in this thread. A related thread on an NYT article where Cuomo made his threats is here .

AIG Bonuses: Surrendered Under Pressure?

No they all gave up 7 and 8 figure bonuses because they were good corporate citizens. </sarcasm>

Cuomo said he got a bunch of them to return their bonuses and then sent out his vote for me for Governor stickers.

The Constitution
Article I
Section 9
No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

Bill of Attainder: a bill that has a negative effect on a single person or group

ex post facto: Formulated, enacted, or operating retroactively

But then Democrats have never thought The Constitution as all that important in their desire to rule the world starting with the USofA.
