Troubled insurance giant AIG, already under fire for intending to pay out $165 million in bonuses and compensation, succumbed Sunday to congressional pressure, identifying banks that received chunks of the company’s billions in federal bailout funds last year.
AIG, a recipient of at least $170 billion in federal bailout money , got an $85 billion loan from the Federal Reserve.
The list released Sunday of "counterparties" that benefited from the bailout is topped by European banks Societe Generale and Deutsche Bank, which received $4.1 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively.
Wall Street firms Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch round out the top four, receiving $2.5 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively.
In releasing the list, AIG said it "recognizes the importance of upholding a high degree of transparency with respect to the use of public funds," in a statement.
Lawmakers have been pushing for AIG to release a list of its counterparties since last fall, arguing taxpayers have a right to know how federal aid is being used.
Earlier this month, in reference to lawmakers request for a list of AIG’s counterparties, U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-New York, told CNNMoney it was critical to determine whether AIG’s collapse would have resulted in a market catastrophe.

Daylight Robbery in plain sight of our faces and they think we are too stupid to realize that the money went to the Owners and CEO’S of these banks in both Europe and the U.S.
This is what detectives call evidence when you catch the thief with the jewels!!
Since money is spongeable, they cannot say it was not taxpayer money.
When they say they are paying bonuses due to contractural terms..why don’t you just admit you did it by plan and show us the contracts and specifics that allows a person to a bonus when failure is by design.
Time to STOP using banks and write your representatives to change the bank power control on our government!!
Protest 4th of July at every main city across the U.S. . March to your city hall downtown in main cities and speak your mind. Get in their faces and tell them to fire or get out of the way!!!

So true, how can these banks be owned by the government when it was the American Taxpayers that paid for these bailouts, then deny the books to be completely open to the public? There needs to be answers to these questions. We should all get dividend checks and stock portfolios for the bailout money. When the politicians start dishing out the expense out of their own pocket, then they can claim rights to it…but they’re probably giving themselves nice big fat raises out of it, blaming it on the banks for misusing the money…No, you know what I think it is? Kickbacks!!

Yes, we must remember that all these banks on Wall Street and banks in Europe and Israel as well as our Sec of Treasury are all Jewish!! Plus the Federal Reserve Plus the SEC plus the Media, plus Hollywood are all Jews!!!!!!!!! Madoff is a Jew!! Is all this corruption just a coincidence??? I think not!!!!!!! Henry Ford of the Ford auto company warned of the powerful Jew conspiracy to take over the United States and enslave us “gentiles” or goyim to the Jew in his book “The International Jew” which was banned from being printed and dispensed in this country during the 1920’s. Research it people on the Internet and read in the “protocols” what the Jews plan to do with you non Jews!!!!!!!! You won’t like it!!!!!

I posted those books by Henry Ford here for people to research about a month ago.
I totally agree with you. When I read the 3 books it almost seemed that they were written for the present day which to me makes the thesis all the more credible.
A man so influential in world history must be taken seriously. Also Fords record toward the working man was nothing short of noble. he paid his workers the highest wage in the industry and maybe even the entire country in order that they may purchase the very product that they built. They also didn’t even need quality control because of the extremely high moral and caliber of worker that he was able to attract.
I hope as many people as possible read these books.

Start Jew watching and associating the names to Jews plus look for the facial features! Black hair, long think faces, bulging eyes, hooked and beaked noses and “off” surnames!! Most guest stars anymore on C-Span “Washington Journal” are now mostly Jews!! It is the Jew that is running our American Government as well as most organization both for profit and non profit in this country!!!!!!!!!! Most Hollywood stars have to convert to Judism or they don’t work in Hollywood as all the big movie houses are run by Jews!! Yes, Steven Spielberg is a Jew!! Remember Jews hate us non Jews but love our money and will steal us blind!! They are robbing our treasury blind!! We will be slaves of the Jew establishment if we are not already, in the near future.

I’d bet the banks in the EU were assets of the Rothschild banksters. and of course hank’s bank, goldman sachs, got some of the 93 billion also. conflict of interest much?

I would like the goverment to release pictures and home adresses of AIG executives that exepted partof the 165 milion dolar bonuses and the one responsible for for giving our money that we need her to banks in europe. I think its time for vigilanty justice because the goverment refuses to solve the problems the way that they are supposed to. Am i alone in thinking they should do that?
