If anyone of you think this is a straight up true story, you're sadly mistaken. First of all Liddy just took over and all he's going to get is $1? Why would he? He didn't create this mess. And what the heck is an equity grant? How is he getting compensation from this?
And further more, the other 5 top exec's will not get a bonus this year, but next year they will. Big deal. Next year will make up for it.
AIG's Senior partners will not earn long-term performance awards in 2008...was this ever in question? They should earn performance awards and since they are negative, they can pay in...oh, that only goes one way.
I agree with the person that said, "I want to see their expense report for 2008" and 2009. I bet that will more than make up for it.
In regards to Mongoose's comment about the mayor in NY being wealthy, all of our politicians are wealthy, yet, they give themselves pay increases, free healthcare and a retirement package we all want. Hmmmm, greed is scary. The mayor in NY may not want to enter the Senate, however, that won't be a problem. They'll make sure he won't make it. A couple of calls to the media and he won't stand a chance. Look at what the media did to the McCain campaign.
