AIG execs lie about paying back bonuses

Remember when the government gave AIG skillions in taxpayer money?

And remember when AIG's executives squandered it all on pay bonuses for themselves?

And remember when they promised to pay part of it back? (Heaven forfend they have to pay all of it back like they should.)

Well, guess what?

Yep, you guessed it, peeps!

Now they're refusing to pay back even a nickel.

Over $200,000,000 of your hard-earned money down the portable poopot. You could have used your share of this $200,000,000 to help pay for your glasses or to take your kids to Mammoth Cave.

But nope. The only thing that's mammoth in this story is AIG's fleecing of hard-working taxpayers and the subsequent broken promises.
