AIG seeks to pay $235 million bonuses to 400 employees

Stacy Summary: Interesting to look at the debate of contractual obligations as related to FIRE workers at an insolvent company that is ‘too big to fail.’ I’m sure also it doesn’t hurt that AIG maintained a massive fleet of lobbyists that insured they would always be too big to jeopardize obligations to senior execs with bankruptcy court. Also note that the size of the bonus pool amounts $587,500 for each of the 400 employees, some of whom will probably have been integral to the collapse of the financial system . . .

Today’s racket news: Government Sachs, AIG & the IMF [UPDATED]

Stacy Summary:  Good morning all!  What headlines are you reading??  I have lots more that I will update this post with as the day goes on.

Stacy:  Out of the frying pan and into the fire.  See any difference for these former Soviet bloc states, many who had their own US backed color revolutions, and now the limited freedom they will forever have going forward?

Zero value and credit events [UPDATED]

Stacy Summary:  Are there even any private investors left in this AIG black hole?  Oh yeah, probably our pension funds.  And then there is the other nationalized black hole of Bradford & Bingley, the original 125% mortgage terrorist.

Stacy – this is about as sad as the death scene in the Champ.  The central bankers are the little boy crying,”Wake up champ.”  The rest of us are like the coaches in the background crying at the boy’s futile attempts to wake the dead man.

Tough times for Russian and American oligarchs as pay & power curbed

Stacy Summary:  The Norwegian oil supply story suggests oil will be at $100 again soon.  What do you think?  Norway’s sovereign wealth fund has also lost almost all the profits it gained over the past decade or so, so it’s doubly bad news for them.

Stacy Summary: Another day, another headline outlining the devastating consequences of monopoly and monoculture. First the ‘too big to fail’ banks wiped out the financial system, now the identikit towns across the UK (and US no doubt) are threatening the spread of ‘ghost towns.’

Stacy Summary: The oligarchs are in the news today.  And just as in the case of transfer of power in other corrupt states like post-Soviet Russia, old favorite oligarchs are punished and new favorites are rewarded with a transfer of wealth from the public.

Stacy Summary:  As the tide goes further and further out we are seeing that the financial oligarchs are basically wearing the taxpayers’ bathing suits, leaving us naked and exposed.  Probably explains our shocked collective embarrassed silence as more and more and more and more money gets handed calmly to the oligarchs.

Funny AIG commercials that might just explain how the butterfly flapping its Collateralized Debt Swap wings turned into the hurricane on Wall Street.  More evidence of London having operated as the global money laundering centre for corrupt bankers, derivative wielding insurance execs and influential Ponzi scheme operators.  And while the UK confronts a future of IMF bailouts, Russia moves in on the Arctic.
