When you steal 600 million they WILL find you - Hans Gruber, Die Hard 1989

[ddeclue]

"Well, when you steal $600, you can just disappear. When you steal 600 million, they will find you, unless they think you're already dead."

- Hans Gruber, Die Hard, 1989


"These days the buck stops nowhere
No one takes the blame
But evil is still evil
In anybodys name
If dirt were dollars
We'd all be in the black"

- Don Henley "If Dirt Were Dollars", The End of the Innocence, 1989

<rant> For those complaining that it's not appropriate for AIG to turn over the names of those execs who pulled down the 165 million in bonus money paid for by the taxpayers:

If you have the nerve to take that kind of money from the taxpayers as a "bonus" we deserve to know just who the hell you are - let's face it if the tax payers didn't totally bail out your sorry asses to the tune of tens of billions of our hard earned dollars after you ran your company into the ground with ..I don't know the word.. I don't think simple greed covers it... avarice ... yes perhaps avarice has a better "mortal sin" quality to it then there would be no bonus money because you would be fired and AIG would be in receivership.

What is legal isn't always moral.

Deep down you knew that - you knew that to bless these investments and insure them and help repackage them was deeply immoral - possibly even illegal - but you did it anyways because you are the Masters of the Universe and we're just your playtoys.

You screwed us all over - everybody gets to lose their job and their house and the economy is in the tank for years to come - but hey you've got yours and that's all that matters to you isn't it?

Now you expect pity and are shocked that the outraged taxpayers and investors are busy searching their barns for their pitchforks and the tar and feathers?

All I can say to you is ...welcome to the NFL ... if you're gonna take that kind of money to screw the rest of us over.. you're gonna have to take the heat and stop complaining to the very people you screwed about it already.

3. We have a lot of people that seem to have stolen a lot of money.

Many got bonuses promotions etc. Just trying to provide a little humor.

4. ok...

True but as they say if you're making a prison break don't draw the lights from the guard towers.. these clowns surely did that by asking for and getting their bonuses...
