After Bailout, AIG Execs Head to California ResortRescued by Taxpayers, It's Party Time with $23,000 in Spa Charges
By BRIAN ROSS and TOM SHINE October 7, 2008
Less than a week after the federal government committed $85 billion to bail out AIG, executives of the giant AIG insurance company headed for a week-long retreat at a luxury resort and spa, the St. Regis Resort in Monarch Beach, California, Congressional investigators revealed today.
"Rooms at this resort can cost over $1,000 a night," Congressman Henry Waxman (D-CA) said this morning as his committee continued its investigation of Wall Street and its CEOs.
AIG documents obtained by Waxman's investigators show the company paid more than $440,000 for the retreat, including nearly $200,000 for rooms, $150,000 for meals and $23,000 in spa charges.
"Their getting their pedicures and their manicures and the American people are paying for that," said Cong. Elijah Cummings(D-MD).
Waxman says there is evidence the two men changed the bonus schedule once the company began to post losses, so that executives under the "Senior Partners Plan" would continue to make multi-million dollar salaries.
"Mr. Sullivan and the other top executives should have had their bonuses slashed due to poor performance," said Waxman.
Congressional investigators also raised question of whether AIG executives sough to "cook the books" and hide negative information from outside auditors.
On Dec. 5, 2007, Waxman said, CEO Sullivan told investors "we are confident in our marks and the reasonableness of our valuation methods."
Documents obtained by the committee show that one week earlier, auditors Pricewaterhouse Cooper had "raise their concerns with Mr. Sullivan…informing him that PWC believed that AIG could have a material weakness relating to the risk management of these areas."
In my opinion we need to vote out of office every Senator and Congressman who voted for this bill. This is exactly why I didn't want the bailout passed in the first place! This is just a bailout for the already wealthy executives who will line their pockets some more while telling all their employees times are tough and they just won't get any raises or bonuses this year. I want every penny of the $400,000 to be paid back and charges filed against every executive that went on this week long retreat.
ARRGH!
What are your thoughts?
