Lee was absolutely correct in his response. Obviously government didn't need to get involved. the customers complained as they should have and won.
Schumer is an idiot at best and thief at worst (see his remarks on taking peoples bonuses that they earned).

Obviously you have no idea what a retention bonus is.
Taxing people at the rate Schumer wants to is simply criminal.
Some of the people didn't

That is why they get one. They were doing work at AIG that was obviously going to end their careers there. So AIG paid them a bonus to stay on and finish the work instead of leaving before the work was finished. Thats what a retention bonus is.
