What next with this fiasco? Is there a reason why this number wasn't mentioned to Congress earlier in the week? An adult needs to step up and take control of this instead of the chaotic approach that we've seen to date. Timmy is obviously not up to the task but surely someone out there is. Regardless of the past problems, Obama now owns this and needs to turn this around quickly.
Connecticut's attorney general says documents turned over to his office by American International Group Inc. shows the company paid out $218 million in bonuses, higher than the $165 million previously disclosed.
Attorney General Richard Blumenthal's office received the documents late Friday after issuing a subpoena.
Blumenthal says the documents show that 73 people received at least $1 million apiece, and five of those got bonuses of more than $4 million. The financially ailing insurance giant has been under fire for giving bonuses after receiving more than $182.5 billion in federal bailout money.
AIG spokesman Mark Herr declined to comment Saturday.
Blumenthal said the newly revealed number will "further fuel the justified anger and revulsion that people feel."
