    Ok, what else can AIG come up with as new headlines with shock?

    “AIG purchases majority interest in new company, Soilent Green Inc.”
    “AIG files suit against the Universe”
    “AIG drinks blood of sacrificial victims while counting bailout money”

    What kind of example does this set for others? 1 year is no where near enough time and how about paying the money back?

    It is time the courts crack down on these white collar crimes.

    Poor thing! Should have stolen $Billion$$, like your former coworkers in the Financial Divisions. Then nothing would have happened to you!

    I might be able to do 12 months for $500k, as long as it had tennis courts and a gym.

    From that article cited above:

    “”I won’t say she didn’t do this. But why? I can’t begin to tell you,” Melvin Baisden said, adding it seemed to have something to do with her girlfriends “to gain and keep their faith. Peer pressure.”

    Melvin Baisden said the family, which is currently in debt, has nothing to show for the thefts, while one of the “friends” was driving around in a brand-new Cadillac Escalade.

    He also believes that Baisden’s decision to end the scheme led to her being discovered. He said it was shortly after one of her co-conspirators demanded that Baisden buy her a large-screen TV and Baisden refused that an anonymous call was made to AIG about the thefts.”

    That anonymous “friend” needs to share the penalty too, just as quickly as they were ready to share the ill-gotten gains!

    well, is going to have to return her share of the money given away? 1/2 mil? or should we as taxpayers, give that much less back because AIG is not doing a very good job of tracking it’s money.

    If you read the article, she said in court that the money was used for trips to vegas and other things. they may be in debt, but they went on alot of vacations. im embarrased they are related to me. I’m sure Melvin had alot to do with it to, don’t believe him big mike…i’ve known him for years.
