In all the furor over the bonuses, what's being lost is the important issue that the biggest chunk of the AIG money went to Goldman Sachs. This is important because Giethner testified that Goldman Sachs' exposure to an AIG default was minimal. There are some interviews out there that purport to explain how Giethner's testimony was not technically perjury but they aren't all that convincing. This seems like a bigger deal than the bonuses to me. <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/raymond-j-learsy/billions-for-aig-to-prote_b_172102.html > -- No matter how far you have gone on the wrong road, turn back. -Turkish proverb _______________________________________________ OSX-Nutters mailing list | [email protected] http://lists.tit-wank.com/mailman/listinfo/osx-nutters List hosted at http://cat5.org/
