New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is stepping up his probe of troubled insurance giant AIG, following reports that it will pay out big bonuses. Cuomo is demanding the names of executives slated to receive some $100 million in taxpayer-funded performance bonuses - plus details on their performance. And he wants to see the contracts that supposedly obligate the company to make good on executive bonuses.
