Subject: RE: BS: $100 million bonuses to AIG execs
I watched the CEo of AIG testify before Congress.
Here is a brief summary
Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God?
ceo Liddy: "fagettaboutit"
thank you
ceo Liddy: I'd like to read some remarks first... I look around and see you have a nice country here. It would be a shame if anything happened to it. By the way, I'm new here, the boss you want is long gone.
{women in pink hold up signs saying Crook! Thief! Crooked Casino owner!}
Chairman " Before I call the next Congressman I want all those signs surrendered to the Seargent at Arms o you will be physically removed from this chamber...
{women hold up their signs and give them to a security guard}
Barney Franks: "thank you Mr Chairman, in regards to the way you handled that situation it is a good thing those signs were not on T shirts. Now Mr. Liddy I would like you to give me the names of those who both got those retention bonuses as well as those who givae them back.
ceo Liddy: I can not do that unless I have full confidentiality,
Barney Franks: I can not guarantee that so I move that we supeona the names.
Liddy: (reads sample death threats) Don;t forget we already have 100s of billions of your dollars. Ot would be a shame if anything happened to it.
