I'M A LITTLE MORE PUZZLED

The AIG thievery was done early in 2008 and according to the WaPo, "The senior executives whose decisions caused the company's collapse are long gone," so who exactly is getting the bonus money? I'm not sure what "long gone" means in this context. AIGFP got a new head last November, according to the NYT, and he was ordered to wind down the whole operation. As I understand it, he wouldn't be included in the bonus pool but does that mean his predecessor is?
