AIG documents released.
HARTFORD -- In the days after news of their federally funded bonuses became public, Wilton-based AIG was deluged with angry e-mails, many threatening violence.
"I would rejoice if someone went bin Laden on AIG headquarters," said one message dated March 15 on an AIG Yahoo Groups' message board titled, "When does AIG get bombed?"
"The burned corpses of those responsible would bring a smile to my face, as would any tears of their families on the news shows," it concludes.
"The Revolution is coming," another e-mail said. "The family members of your executives are not safe. Your blood will run through the streets in the coming months."
In documents released on Wednesday to Hearst Connecticut Newspapers under the state Freedom of Information Act, AIG Financial Products Corp. officials detailed dozens of threats, along with bonuses for 418 employees totaling $218 million from federal bailout money.
The smallest bonus was $1,000. One hundred people earned bonuses of $82,500 or less, while 317 earned more than $85,000 in bonuses.
Seventy-three were paid more than $1 million in bonuses, according to the documents.
