1-Get a list of every single person who took a bonus.
2-Look over their records with a fine-toothed comb for any illegal activities. I have a tough time believing most of them have never one anything illegal.
3-Find anyone with any criminal record, arrest them and then try to throw the book at them.

Frankly I'd say every single executive in AIG without exception belongs in jail.

No! Using the justice system in that fashion to punish for ulterior motives is totally unethical, and compromises the whole enterprise of justice being evenly and impartially applied.

But this could only be done if they did do something illegal, which probably >90% of Wall Street executives have.

Hell no. There are other ways of getting the money back without resorting to a witch hunt.

Ya, it is kind of like the way that LBJ and Nixon sic'ed the IRS on their political enemies, isn't it?
