re: AIG Outrage |

As I listen to the argument that those involved with getting AIG into its mess need to be retained to get it out of the mess, another thought comes to mind.
In many cases the actions of these individuals is or should be illegal. Instead of paying them to stay and fix their mess, another approach might solve the need and satisfy the anger. Prosecute these individuals, and then allow them to resolve their previous actions under a work release program. Successfully fixing the problems, undoing the mistakes, and properly accounting for the money involved could count as "good time" on a long prison term. That good time could be adjusted so that when AIG issues are corrected, those responsible will be eligible for parole. To satisfy justice, that plus a return of money taken under false pretense (salary and bonuses while they tanked AIG) would get them out of prison. I would even support a full pardon after 10 honest years after fixing the mess.
This might rehabilitate these individuals, and might even rehabilitate other business people who have lost sight of what is valuable in life. Private Reply to Ken Hilving (new win) |
