Jake DeSantis: Dear A.I.G., I Quit! - '...I am proud of everything I have done for the commodity and equity divisions of A.I.G.-F.P. I was in no way involved in — or responsible for — the credit default swap transactions that have hamstrung A.I.G. Nor were more than a handful of the 400 current employees of A.I.G.-F.P. Most of those responsible have left the company and have conspicuously escaped the public outrage. After 12 months of hard work dismantling the company — during which A.I.G. reassured us many times we would be rewarded in March 2009 — we in the financial products unit have been betrayed by A.I.G. and are being unfairly persecuted by elected officials...'
From what I've read, DeSantis's story is the norm at AIG, not the exception. Meanwhile, so many continue to place their head in the sand when in comes to Barney Frank, Pelosi, Maxine Waters & Co., saving their "outrage" - so he can be manipulated and harnessed by those Left/Dems, including Obama himself. Lovely stuff.
