"On March 16 I received a payment from A.I.G. amounting to $742,006.40, after taxes"
Was that just his bonus?
Or the bonus after his yearly salary of $1?
If more than half a million a year in "bonuses" is what he made year after year, and he is having an attack of conscience (seeing as he lost "a significant portion of my life savings in the form of deferred compensation invested in the capital of A.I.G.",) should we really feel sorry for him?
I'd say he's being honorable. I'd like to see more people like him. He'll never go hungry anyway.
