The AIG execs broke no laws, but that didn't save them, did it?
Congress is just now writing the laws they broke.
They let themselves get hounded. I’m sure there are some who DID take their $1M+ bonuses, and fully intend to refute the 90% tax on “No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed” grounds (there is no question that law was passed specifically to get them in particular). They also don’t have literally millions of supporters. ...and if he _does_ owe something, he can afford to pay up, fines & all. So far it looks like NY is just on a fishing expedition, pulling an audit just to see if they can nail him on _something_.
