By LYNN DOAN
Connecticut's attorney general urged Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Friday to block an additional $232 million in bonuses scheduled to be delivered to AIG Financial Products employees next March — plans confirmed by AIG officials during a state legislative hearing Thursday.Since December, AIG has delivered $218 million in bonuses to keep employees working at its dying Financial Products subsidiary in Wilton.



AIG executive Stephen Blake confirmed in testimony before the legislature's banks committee Thursday that the company plans to deliver more bonuses in March 2010. That would bring the total of so-called retention bonuses paid to division employees — designed to keep them working long enough to dismantle the business — to $450 million......

(Jake DeSantis Is Such An Unethical AIG Bum That He Has Obviously Visited An Accountant To Calculate The Amount Of Taxes To The Penny. DeSantis Is Such A Greedy SOB He Couldn't Add $933.40 Of His Own Money To Make The Taxpayer Funded Package An Even $743,000)

.....Here Is How The Jake DeSantis Ponzie Scheme Will Probably Work:


First AIG Bum "Fake Jake" DeSantis Will Use Over $250,000.00 Of Your Tax Dollars To Pay His Tax Bill. Then He Will Claim Huge Tax Deductions For Donating $742,006.40 Of Your Tax Dollars To Help Those "Who Are Suffering From The Global Downturn".


Greedy " Fake Jake" DeSantis Will Then Be Able To Carry The The Taxpayer Funded Deduction Forward Three Years, Thus Allowing Him To Pay Virtually No Taxes.


The $742,006.40 Of Mr. Desantists' Neighbors Tax Dollars Will Need To Go Into A Financial Vehicle Like A Private Foundation To Distribute The Tax Dollars.


Of Coarse, There Will Be Expences Involved With Distributing Your Tax Dollars So Greedy "Fake Jake" Desantis Will Have To Be Compensated. Desantis May Even Need To Hire Friends And Family Members To Help Disburse Your Tax Dollars To Help Those "Who Are Suffering From The Global Downturn".

Oh, Look Here Is Failed Hearst Newspaper Managing Editor Bruce Hunter Hastily Throwing Up Connecticut Post Reporter Ken Dixon's News Report Up On The Greenwich Time In An Effort To Cover A News Story That Greenwich Roundup Broke Over A Week Ago ......

AG wants no more AIG bonuses - Greenwich Time

$230M in payouts planned

Ken Dixon
Connecticut Post.

HARTFORD -- State Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said Friday that he will try to stop an estimated $230 million in additional bonuses scheduled for American International Group employees.

And the co-chairmen of the legislative committee looking into the bonuses said they were ready for their next phase of researching the legality of the hefty payouts.

In an interview, Blumenthal said he will ask Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to prevent the bonuses scheduled for March 2010. Blumenthal said he believes that state law does not protect bonuses the way it shelters regular wages under employment contracts.....



Greenwich Roundup Hates To Say
We Told You So, But Damn It ....



We Told You So



"We're writing today to the Fed that in light of the disclosure yesterday that another $230 million will be paid in March of next year to the employees there this year," Blumenthal said.



The Disclosure Yesterday????



Is Greenwich Resident Richard Blumenthal On Drugs ????



Blumenthal's Office Has Known About This For Over A Weak, Because Google Analytics Says His Server Has Logged On To Many Greenwich Roundup Pages That Have Reported This Second Payment All Most Every Day For A Week.

"We are urging the Fed take prompt and aggressive action to protect taxpayer money going to bonuses that seem excessive and unnecessary."

Blumenthal made his remarks after Thursday's hearing before the legislative Banks Committee, in which AIG officials defended the recent $218 million in bonuses paid to executives. The bonuses were funded from the $180 billion taxpayer-funded bailout of the company, which nearly failed under the weight of toxic financial instruments.

"There is a difference between wages and bonuses under our statutes," Blumenthal said. "This compensation seems to have no link to any specific or measurable services or tasks, but rather is at the discretion or latitude of the corporation and should be regarded as a bonus, not a wage, under our statutes."
During a four-hour hearing Thursday, a lawyer for AIG said Connecticut law requires the bonuses or the company could be liable for double the bonus amount, plus legal fees, for each of more than 400 employees.

CT Sen. Bob Duff, D-Norwalk Is Just As Phony As Blumenthal.
Before, AIG Ever Turned Over One Page Of The Retention Contract Over To The State Of Conneticut, Google Analytics Says Bob Duff's Office Was On The Very Pages Greenwich Roundup That Reported The Second Payments.

In a joint statement Friday, Duff and state Rep. Ryan Barry, D-Manchester, co-chairmen of the committee, said the total amount of bonuses over the last two years was about $220 million more than the $232 million widely reported; and there may be additional bonus payments in 2010.

In a joint statement Friday, Duff and state Rep. Ryan Barry, D-Manchester, co-chairmen of the committee, said the total amount of bonuses over the last two years was about $220 million more than the $232 million widely reported; and there may be additional bonus payments in 2010.

"Though that number could be reduced by resignations, it is a significant difference," Duff and Barry said. "In fact, documentation provided indicates that executives put on a personal life vest in the first quarter of 2008 when they knew the ship was starting to sink.

Second, the committee learned that payouts also go to involuntarily terminated employees, or employees who resign with reason, despite the fact that they fall outside the Connecticut Wage Act because those payments appear to be similar to severance payments," the lawmakers said.

They said that documents obtained under subpoena indicate that past employee-retention plans did not have guaranteed payouts.


Greenwich Roundup Is Sick And Tired Of Phoney Politicans Like Bob Duff And Richard Blumenthal Not Giving Propper Credit To Citizen Journalists And Bloggers Who Often Often Break News Stories That The Lazy Mainsteam News Media Is Afraid To Touch.

Greenwich Roundup Is So Mad He Just Might Go And Freedom Of Information Request Blumental And Duffs Server Logs And Resolve Them Right Down To The Computer Used To Access The Greenwich Roundup Pages Reporting On The Second AIG Bonus Payments Due In March Of 2010.

FOR THE RECORD:
CT State Server Logs Are Public Documents That Can Be Aquired Through A Simple Freedom Of Information Request.

For Years Richard "Me Too" Blumental Filed Copy Cat Lawsuits As New York Attorney General Elliot Spitzer Acted As The Sherrif Of Wall Street
Now Richard "Me Too" Blumental Is Filing Copy Cat Lawsuits Every Time New York Andrew Cuomo Takes On The Greedy Corporate Bums At AIG
But This Time Richard "Me Too" Blumental Has Gone To Far
When Google Analytics Shows That Blumental's Office Repeatedly Comes To Greenwich Roundup And Takes An Independent AIG News Scoop And Then Showboats With It.
What's Up With
Bob Duff And
Richard "Me Too" Blumental
Pretending That He Uncovered The Information
All By Thier Little Ole' Selves.
All Richard "Me Too" Blumental Does Is Play Copy Cat And Showboat.
If He's Not Copying The New York Attorney General
Then He Is Copying Greenwich Roundup
Maybe Richard "Me Too" Blumenthal Cut And Past His Letter To Bernanke From Greenwich Roundup

Would It Has Been So Hard For Blumenthal

To Say At His AIG Hearing....

"Citizen Journalists And Bloggers Have Been Reporting on the internet That There Is A Second Massive Bonus Payment Scheaduled On March 15th Of 2010..... Is This True? ..... And Remember You Are Under Oath."

One Thing Is For Sure Is That The Mainstream Press Had No Clue About The Second Bonus Payment Until After Yesterdays Hartford Hearing

One Thing Else For Sure Is That Google Analytics Shoes That Bob Duff And Richard "Me Too" Blumenthal Servers Were At All Of The Above Mentioned Greenwich Roundup Articles.

Greenwich Round Up Publicly Challenges Bob Duff And Richard "Me Too" Blumenthal To Show One News Article Or Blog Post Before March 18th 2009 That Mentions The Second Aig Bonus Payments To Be Paid Out On March Of 2010

Bernake Did Not Catch It AIG's Documents

Congress Did Not Catch It In AIG's Documents

Cuomo Did Not Catch It In AIG's Documents

And Duff And Blumenthal Sure As The Hell Did Not Catch It All By Themselves.

It Was An Inside Secret That A Greenwich Roundup Source Provide And We Repeated Almost Daily Until Richard "Me Too" Blumenthal Started Showboating With His Letter To Bernnake.

Let's See If Richard "Me Too" Blumenthal Can Show Us A News Article Or Blog Post That Is Older Than 24 Hours That Even Mentions The Possibility Of A Massive Second AIG Bonus Payment To Be Paid Out In March Of 2010.

Close To 2,000 Unique Visitors A Day Read About The Second AIG Bonus Payment Almost Every Day Right Here At Greenwich Roundup ...... And Some Of Those Of Those Unique Visitors Were Using Bob Duff's And Richard "Me Too" Blumenthal Servers.

Since Richard "Me Too" Blumenthal

Wants Everyone To Think He Is So Sharp.

Let's See If He Can Show Us Where There Was Anything On The Internet, Before at 3/18/2009 02:32:00 AM That Talks About The Secret Second AIG Bonus Payment For March 15th, 2010

It Is Alright With Greenwich Roundup If Richard "Me Too" Blumenthal Wants To Take And Use Information From His Hometown Blog, Greenwich Roundup.

However, Richard "Me Too" Blumenthal

Should Give Credit Where Credit Is Due.
