The Apology

Wall Street's Market 'Wizards' - Laughing all the way to the bank with the taxpayer's money

NOTE: Scott is a good friend here in Costa Rica, let me be in his video and has been a big help to us learning the ropes. He's a really smart guy, good sense of humor and an acute ability to see the absurd in American shenanigans. He's British.

"The American International Group, which has received more than $170 billion in taxpayer bailout money from the Treasury and Federal Reserve, plans to pay about $165 million in bonuses by Sunday to executives in the same business unit that brought the company to the brink of collapse last year."

You have to feel sorry for those poor executives over at AIG eh?

Yeah, right.

And this is in addition to the "$121 million in previously scheduled bonuses for the company's senior executives and 6,400 employees across the sprawling corporation."

In a letter to Mr. Geithner, Edward M. Liddy, the government-appointed chairman of A.I.G., said at least some bonuses were needed to keep the most "skilled executives."

What "...skilled executives?"

Skilled at what exactly? Skilled at blowing a $62 billion hole in the company?

"Of those people collecting more than $1 million, eleven have already left the company," Mr. Cuomo's office said.

Homes with No People, People with No Homes

Activist Moving Homeless People Into Foreclosed Houses in Miami

by Tamara Lush

MIAMI - Max Rameau delivers his sales pitch like a pro. "All tile floor!" he says during a recent showing. "And the living room, wow! It has great blinds."

Max ... says he's "matching homeless people with people-less homes." But in nearly every other respect, he is unlike any real estate agent you've ever met. He is unshaven, drives a beat-up car and wears grungy cut-off sweat pants. He also breaks into the homes he shows. And his clients don't have a dime for a down payment.

Rameau is an activist who has been executing a bailout plan of his own around Miami's empty streets: He is helping homeless people illegally move into foreclosed homes.

"We're matching homeless people with people-less homes," he said with a grin.

Rameau and a group of like-minded advocates formed Take Back the Land, which also helps the new "tenants" with secondhand furniture, cleaning supplies and yard upkeep. So far, he has moved six families into foreclosed homes and has nine on a waiting list.

"I think everyone deserves a home," said Rameau...

Barney Frank couldn't have said it better. Continue reading here...
