I hear you on being upset about this, however the majority of these bonuses were signed on as Retention Bonuses for financial employees on AIG's financial management business. Although they did not perform above and beyond expectations - these were in their contracts. So if AIG didn't pay them, they would get sued, and they would loose these employees to competitors. Both of which mean the US Government is at a loss if that bailout money isn't paid back. Also - these bonuses were included into law by the exact people that are upset about them now. The Congress and Obama administration wrote a clause saying any bonuses contractually obligated before FEB of 2009 were excluded. It's a media show... that's my thoughts. Don't know if this comment will stay on this blog long enough to create some controversy but thought I'd clarify ~ Well… I hear you on being upset about this, however the majority of these bonuses were signed on as Retention Bonuses for financial employees on AIG’s financial management business.

I bet there are some ethical people at the company who kept a fair salary but are giving back what they know is wrong. Hey it would be very hard to turn back in any money, but its the right thing to do. Well they need to eat, but eating and buying a jet are two different things.
