Ex-AIG Executives Questioned in Congress

Back to blog

Shareholders

As a Shareholder of this Company. I want my Money Back. The money spent on the California Retreat and the money spent a few days ago in England on a "Hunting Trip".

These people have the nerve to TAKE our money and within days rub it in our faces. Then have the _____'s to tell us that they WILL NOT give back the MILLIONS that they received as CEO's of a failing company.???

This is an American disgrace and we should not stand for this kind of behavior from AIG!

I really am not sure why you are "holding them up" NONE of us will trust them anymore!

That brings me to US, the Main Street of the United States of America! We are still PROUD and we will prevail. Even if in our own little worlds, while you show us their world on your Multi-Million TV shows, with their Multi Million Dollar Homes and Yahts! THAT OUR MONEY BOUGHT!

Do not EVER forget that WE, the American People are the ones that made all of this possible for YOU, AIG!! and WE can take you down, (if the government will let us!), IF you do not change your behavior.

I also think that arrests should be taken place, right now!!

IF you told your people, NO MORE PARTIES and they did it anyway! then in our world they would be fired!!

We want our Money Back ONEDAY and if you are allowed to continue to spend it like you have been doing, we will never see none of our Money!

Senators, Congress, House of Representatives, ANYBODY, STOP THIS MADNESS!!!

AIG are just the ones that we are hearing about!

God Bless Us ALL!!

Earl Pomeroy and AIG

Yes, go after everyone. If it is greedy wall street people then nail them, but let's take a little look at Congress as well. North Dakota Congressman Earl Pomeroy takes money from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and AIG. Rumor has it he invests with them. Isn't it a little strange he votes to bail them out? Let's look at all of these guys who seem to get away with everything under the sun, while the rest of us get it in the backside.

If you live in North Dakota or you care about justice, call the newspapers and media. Vote Earl Pomeroy straight out of office. Like so many of these greedy characters, he betrayed our trust.

1,000,000,000,000 dollars ($1 trilliion) - Jail Time

1,000,000,000,000 dollars ($1 trilliion)

300,000,000 US People and lets assume only 200,000,000 US People are tax paying citizens and / or US Citizens

Divide the 1,000,000,000,000 dollars

among the 200,000,000 US People

that is $5000 per person.

The Bill passed closer to more that closer to $1.7T therefore each person would get about $8500 if it was distrubuted equally to the people

I think that is more fair than a single company to get $0.7T. I have 4 family members who worked for AIG, and my mother stop getting her pension by the end of 2009 even with the bail out. My brother and sister only has 5 more years to get a pension.

Yet, yesterday (the day after the bail out) AIG executive were in San Diego at a day spa. Someone has to go to jail. One previous exec got $40M for leaving, one current exec who was in san diego is going to get $7M for being in AIG for 3 months.

Oh did I mention One AIG executive and Benjamin S. Bernanke was in China during the Olympics...before Bernanke was said 'My company will bail you out' (single quotes means that it is my own interpertation)...His company the US Federal Reserve.

Benjamin and this One AIG executive went to college together. The good old boys club.

Another worthless CEO taking advantage in anyway possible. Hopefully he'll be hit by a buss as he steps off the curb!

AIG greed costs everyone

The outcome should be just like Enron.

Is this really any surprise? This happens everyday, exec. will benefit and think of themselves before the responsibility they have to the American people. Thats why they are paid large sums of money to look out for us. They see more money than most will ever see in their lifetime. Sullivan will not give any of his millions back, that shows you level of greed they abide by.

Golden parachute

Where do I get one of those golden parachutes from?

AIG owes the US taxpayer a refund.......

I WANT A REFUND! I want AIG's "bail out" money rescinded and returned to the government where it can be best used to benefit MAIN STREET. Why are we bailing out large corporations when Mom & Pop are going out of business and losing their homes? US based small business is being forced out while AIG squanders yet more funds on a lavish party for themselves. AIG is stealing from the US taxpayer - where is the criminal investigation? Where are the arrests?

STOP THE MADNESS! Time for the citizens of this country to say ... ENOUGH ALREADY. Call your politicians and demand change! If they don't do it - VOTE THEM OUT as soon as you can. Do it for your family, do it for your country!

NOTICE TO ALL FORTUNE 1000 COMPANIES

A NEEDED FIX IN ALL BOARD ROOMS

Isn't it time the system went in for some much needed repair?

Due diligence and oversight long ago slid out the window. No one was watching.

Time to do something about it.

Here's a huge one they all missed.... The dramatic change that swept through all of North America's boardrooms over the past 30 years. It is one of the underlying causes of the headache the economy is now feeling, but more importantly, it has resulted in the general feeling of "disconnect" by most Americans.

"WE THE SHAREHOLDERS OF YOUR COMPANIES......

Our lawmakers and representatives of the people MUST take action on this

Someone with POWER please go after these people. This kind of behavior is despicable and I urge everyone to contact their representatives to put these CEO, CFO, executives in jail for the harm they have caused to the system while BENEFITING all the while.
