how come we don't see anybody going to jail due to this mess? these greedy guys who caused the collapse of AIG should be put to jail for the expense they incurred from the taxpayers.
if i spilled a barrel of oil on the coast, which then caused tens of thousands to clean up, do you think i will get the same nice treatment that was given these AIG execs? losing 60 BILLION dollars is the same as 10 exxon valdez spills -- but then again, exxon valdez execs mostly got away with that mess too.
