New Jersey Attorney General Anne Milgram is leading the coalition, focusing on possible violations of New Jersey Uniform Securities Law, Insurance & Financial Advisor reported Tuesday. Milgram, in a March 19 letter, requested AIG turn over the names of employees who received bonus checks, copies of their work contracts and the sources of the bonus pay. At the heart of the matter is federal emergency loans totaling $170 billion and whether these funds were used to reward employees in spite of the company's massive losses.
