AIG execs didnt do their own due diligence in buying up all the shit assets they did, so why should they expect the government to do them any better then they did their investors?
this is like giving a bus driver a bonus after he crashs a bus and kills passengers, simply because you told him you would. sorry but sometimes when you fuck up real bad... all bets are off.

its not one person that runs aig, its thousands. all of the the people that got bonuses could have been working 100 hours a week, making a ton of $$ for the company, and minimized AIGs losses.
its not a matter of being a great businessman, its an agreement where, you do this, in exchange for this.
