I am outraged about the outrage.
If you had signed a contract with a company, and the company had the money, you would expect it to be paid.
If AIG hadn’t paid, the same distractory press (distracting from the real story) would be running stories about how AIG isn’t paying their employees even after getting money.
Actually, I once had a contract with a gym that went bankrupt one week after I signed up...guess what I never got to go to the gym nor did I get my money back...AIG is a failed entitiy and is under taxpayer control...in terms of the 170 billion we paid out so I don’t care about their self serving contracts. Also, they paid retention bonuses to 11 employees who are no longer with the company...another poster suggested it may be hush money. I would not doubt it. This guys are capable of anything...they have toxic assets and a toxic way of thinking as well.
