Guess we know now why the Fed Reserve head went on 60 Min

From what I have read he knew about the bonuses and didn't tell anyone? He knew this was going to bust wide open so he does the puff piece get to know me interview last week.Bet he wouldn't be so eager to sit for an interview now. .

1. If you're talking about AIG

plenty of others knew as well.

2. Doesn't excuse him..I don't care how many "plenty of others" knew

The whole segment of him being interviewed in his home town, with the camera panning over to the "Main Street" sign as he and the 60 minutes guy sat and talked and the interviewer said basically "he's from a "Main Street" kind of town, his family owned a pharmacy on Main Street, he really feels for the people in his hometown in this economy, blah, blah, blah".
Where was his concern for those Main Streeters when he didn't share the bonus info??
Like I said, how convenient the interview was given right before this all hit the fan...

3. All done to calm the panic.

4. EXACTLY! I knew this.

Whenever they send people out to start talking, the shit is about to hit the fan.
