This was a Poker hand and Benny played it oh so well. Going from whining that he might take his ball and go home because he didn’t like the rules to getting a package that would make Phil Hellmuth and his contemporaries smile wryly in admiration, Fast Benny parlayed the behemoth’s problems into his good fortune. Will this Make Benny’s stake in AIG 3rd to only “We the Public” and Hank “on the outside looking in” Greenberg?
I do not agree with key execs getting a performance bonus. You cannot forget the execs at AIG Finacial who were paid bonuses for bringing AIG down. Is he concerned with salaries for the top 100 execs or all employees?
Again, the fat cats are looking out for themselves.
WHY DO THEY NEED A CEO TO PRESIDE OVER A SINKING SHIP? NONE OF THE EXECS WITH DECISION-MAKING AUTHORITY SHOULD EVEN GET A PAYCHECK UNLESS AIG MAKES A PROFIT! AND THE PROFIT WOULD COME MUCH SOONER IF NO EXECS WERE PAID! OF COURSE WITH SUCH AN ARRANGEMENT ALL OF THEM WOULD LEAVE AND GO TO GREENER PASTURES, SUCH AS GE WITH IMMEL, WHO OWNS NBC (NATIONAL BARACK COMPANY)!
Larry, sorry buddy but you won’t have anyone working at AIG with that plan. This fiasco with AIG is a huge dilemma. It personally irks me that Benny is getting 7 mil. I also believe that we couldn’t let AIG go down the drain.
So what does one do. Try to find some boy scout type execs, pay them fairly and pray. Problem is there is nobody left in this country that has the set of values needed to straighten out this mess.
Wall Street is back “same as it ever was, same as it ever was”
He only bothers to show up for work when something isn’t going his way. There is far better talent out there (i.e. not spoiled little rich-boy brats who like to throw tantrums – he’s so professional). Problem is, they’ll never have the opportunity to show what they can do because they’re not members of the Rich-Boy Club.
If you do a little research, you’ll find that the Wall Street Gang is not paid bonuses on profit – like most well run companies. Their bonuses are paid on revenue…..that’s right, r-e-v-e-n-u-e…nothing to do with profit. Never has been and likely never will be. But if you change that clever bit of accounting a lot of these issues go away.
The first two months of his employment with AIG were spent at his country mansion in Croatia overseeing the harvest of his vineyards. Big Ben wants to re-vitalize the zinfandel markets there. It’s one of his “hobbies”. It’s baffling that all large corporations fish in the same pond when they need a top executive for a company in trouble. They always pitch to some retired, rich old pus bag who brings 20th century solutions to 21st century problems. It feeds their already inflated ego and pads their already disgusting retirement fund. There are plenty of younger executives out there who deserve a chance to build a career, not just drop in like some mercenary to spend a couple of years tinkering with a company. My with for them this holiday season is that they all rot in hell.
You all make me want to puke. Your envy shines clear and bright. I’m guessing that none of you make $7 Million a year and none of you have ever run a major corporation. I would much rather have Robert Benmosche running AIG than one of Barry Obama’s Marxist playmates.
No we don’t make 7 million a year, do you? Didn’t think so……I just think all of these wall street fat boys are all overpaid. Especially the ones at AIG that caused all the problems. I say FIRE THEM All, then hire replacements that work for less. All it is, is GREED!!!
Help me remember. Was it Bush or Obama who ponied up the bailout cash? See, it really doesn’t matter until it concerns your partisan perspective. Can’t help but think there isn’t some racism involved in your “Barry” strong opinions. Then again, I am still dizzy from the $150 Million Ben and Hank bargained for their lawyers while squabbling over a photo and a Persian rug. Maybe I should have gone to lawyering school.
Lest we all forget the free 7 billion doled out to the banks and investment houses in Nov. 08. The Fat Cats don’t give a s*&t about anyone but themselves. Like I said before, GREED.

WHERE IS AIG GETTING HIS $7 MILLION SALARY???
BAILOUT MONEY???
I think he is overpaid…….by 6 Million.
I think he is overpaid as well…by $6,900,000!
Well I was going to say that too. Maybe oeverpaid by $6,999,000.00. Hopes the Whiner moves to Craoatia.

Is that Benmosche has a very very strong pimp hand.
