The employee at the meeting said Pasciucco recommended that bonus recipients strongly consider returning the money but said any decision to do so was an individual choice. After the meeting, a compliance officer for the Banque AIG unit in London went so far as to ask UK authorities from the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) to probe whether demands to return the payments could be considered extortion, according to emails obtained by Reuters.
At least half the $165 million in bonuses left the United States, and is therefore outside any U.S. jurisdiction. Suck it, Cuomo.
