AIG executives spent thousands during hunting trip

They should go to Jail for what they are doing, I own a small business and do work for a property they own. AIG has not payed me for for months about 200k. Then they canceled my contract and I feel  for the contractor there going to stiff next its called global.

Can I ask them for a vacation or instead I wounder or may be our government will bail my company out.

They would fly in on there private helicopter you should see the waist of this company. I feel for the people they are reely putting it two and do not even think twice about it our government is run with the tax payers money we should demand it back with interest.

spending more of your taxpayer's money...

they should be thrown in jail, right away..

In my neighborhood, homes have down devalued to $25,000. That's not how much they devalued BY, but what they are currently valued AT. By my figures, AIG has blown $526,000 on party time since they asked hard working, mostly underpaid and under-insured taxpayers for corporate welfare. I'll round figures here and over-value the homes in my nieghborhood (figure the excess value as going toward home repairs) Let's just call it $525,000 and value these homes at $40,000. That money blown by these corporate blood-sucking leeches in their solid gold ponds would have outright bought homes for 13 poverty-stricken families here.

Who'd like to puke first?

Disgusting.

One year the hospital I worked for (the one I quit in disgust) told all the employees that there would be no raises, not even a cost of living increase.  Then the whole board and their families took vacations to Hawaii. 

For $526,000, 21 workers could have been paid $25,000 for a year. 

To a lot of people, sometimes me, "splurging" is buying a dress for $3 at a thrift store that I really don't need, or buying a magazine, or a candy bar.  There was a time when "splurging" meant buying toothpaste or coffee. 

The correct sound effect for puke:   glggmmblekhackplunk ehh ghasp moan wheeze hack flush (repeat as necessary)

Now that sounds familiar.

At a nursing home in Fairfield, OH (if Scott Isaacs sees this, he'll know EXACTLY which facility and which owner) the ownership started building a multi-million dollar assisted living facility designed to cater to the wealthy on the back lot. Halfway through the building, he issued a wage and hiring freeze (ever heard of a nursing home with a hiring freeze?)

We'd go on our smoke break and point out where our raises were going. Then he went too far - he had the audacity to call a meeting to let us know his multi-million dollar project had nothing to do with our wages being frozen. I can take a lot of BS but being played for a stupid a$$ isn't in that category. I left to go with Hospice after the SOB insulted our intelligence.

I don't agree with the hunting trip if it is true; however this is irrisponsible journalism at best.  It was verified by investigation two weeks ago on friday, and reported on national television that it was independant agents that went to the spa retreat in California.  It was also verified that not a single AIG Exec attended this retreat, nor any other employees of AIG.  Yet the media still continues to report they did.  I guess if you want the controversy bad enough you just make it up.

Somehow we are going to have to get back to being accountable for our actions. Corporate heads are able to disguise their unethical and illegal schemes using the same sort of compartmentalization in use by the bank where I work. If you don't need to know something, you get in serious trouble for asking questions. Who decides access to that information - the people at the top, of course.

We are going about this all wrong. Let them fall. Let the whole house of cards fall and you know what? I'll bet you and I survive. They may have enough stashed away to move to Dubai, but corporate criminals must not be allowed to rape and pillage their own companies and then come with hat in hand to us to bail them out.

We are getting just a glimpse of "Business As Usual" and it make me sick to my stomach. I posted an article called, This Just In...Greed Is Not Good. Kleptocrats* in Shock. Film at 11." More good ideas and information there.

*Kleptocrat: a noun describing an over-achiever who is convinced that he or she is superior to everyone else, deserves more than everyone else and is above the law. (See Royalty, Monarchy, George Bush, Kenneth Lay, Charles H. Keating, Jr., etc.)
