Numerous individuals who received large 'retention' bonuses are no longer at the firm ....You can't pay to retain someone who is already gone.
Eleven of the individuals who received "retention" bonuses of $1 million or more are no longer working at AIG, including one who received $4.6 million ....
Here's Cuomo's letter:

-- Comments that criticize any class of people as a whole, especially when based on an attribute they don't have control over
-- Comments that explicitly call for violence
