While everyone was freaking out over AIG bonuses, Andrew Cuomo won a victory in his attempt to get justice on the $4 billion in
Merrill Lynch bonuses that were outraging us back in January. A judge has ruled that
Cuomo may disclose the names of the Merrill bonus execs whom he has subpoenaed in the case. Bank of America, which took over Merrill Lynch after its collapse, had hoped to convince the judge that the names of its bonus recipients was a trade secret -- such as, they had told the court, the
formula for Carvel Ice Cream. The judge didn't go for it, which clears the way for Cuomo's investigation. The AG also
offered his opinion of Ed Liddy's offer in Washington today to
get back some of the government-enhanced money AIG gave out in bonuses: "too little too late." Having smacked AIG for their
high-priced junkets last year, Cuomo
subpoenaed them on Monday. Dude's kicking all kinds of ass lately.
