Thursday for Protests

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has issued a subpoena to American International Group Inc. seeking a list with the names of executives receiving bonuses.

"We had given AGI up to 4 o'clock today to provide the information on the latest round of bonuses that they paid out," Cuomo said. "Four o'clock has come and gone."

[...]

The attorney general said AIG had previously promised to make no payments out of AIG’s $600 million Financial Products deferred compensation pool.

[...]

Cuomo said he wants a list of those who received payments under the retention plan, their positions, job descriptions and performance at AIG Financial Products.

In a letter to Geithner, obtained Saturday by CNN, AIG Chairman and CEO Edward Liddy said his company was taking steps to limit compensation in AIG Financial Products -- the British-based unit responsible for issuing the risky credit default swaps that have brought the company to the brink of collapse.

In the letter to Geithner, Liddy said the unit's 25 highest-paid contract employees will reduce their salaries to $1 this year

So they'll be getting overpaid by the amount of their bonuses, plus $1.
