AIG Sues Taxpayers for $306 Million – AIG paid $218 million in bonuses last weekend, higher than the $165 million that was previously disclosed
Documents turned over late Friday show AIG paid $218 million in bonuses last weekend, higher than the $165 million that was previously disclosed, said the office of Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, who had issued a subpoena.
Bonuses were “showered like confetti” on AIG employees, Blumenthal said.

It said another $55 million in retention pay had already been distributed to about 400 AIG Financial Products employees.
That total of $220 million is about $2 million more than the figure disclosed Friday, and Blumenthal said he was seeking clarification from the company on whether the new papers differ from what was previously reported. Read More
