One Response to “Ratigan: AIG needs a reality check”

   Well, before I lynch these AIG execs with the rest of the mob, could we at least get a name, rank and file of these guys?

   If they were creating credit default swaps and shoving them down the throat of some employee pension plan, well deserved criticism.

   If they spent their career managing aspects of the firm that did not cause its implosion, then this criticism is unwarranted and unfair.

   I just still believe in “Innocent until proven guilty” and I’m not big on ganking people on their pay just because I make a measly $40k a year.
