Whoops! Not Just "London Loonies"

Commenting on a previous post, I termed the bonus babies at AIG's Financial Products Division "London loonies." Incorrect, or at least incomplete, according to The Stamford Advocate:

[Three Connecticut residents] were identified by the New York Post as recipients of the highly criticized bonuses.

The three Connecticut men work for AIG's Financial Products division in Wilton. That group entangled its parent company in a massive web of credit default swaps -- a kind of insurance policy covering debt -- that put AIG on the hook for billions of dollars when mortgage securities and other investments went bad.

Finding supporters of the titans of AIG Financial Products' division is hard. Finding anybody Wednesday to talk about [the three] in their neighborhoods proved impossible.

No one answered the door at any of their homes, well-appointed, large colonials with clapboard exteriors and manicured lawns.
