Eleven of the AIG executives that received big bonuses designed to keep them working for the firm are no longer employees there, according to New York's Attorney General.

Andrew Cuomo says that a total of 73 executives received retention bonuses of more than $1 million; money that AIG says had to be paid out to keep the insurance company in business.

Public and political rage over AIG executive bonuses is growing, and Cuomo continues to press the insurance company by releasing new information to Congress.

Cuomo says over the weekend, his office learned that more than $160 million in retention payments were given out to members of AIG's Financial Products subsidiary.  Cuomo says that unit was primarily responsible for the company's "meltdown."

Cuomo says that flies in the face of an agreement reached last year, when AIG agreed with Cuomo that no payments would be made out of its $600 million Financial Products deferred compensation pool.  While it is a separate plan, Cuomo said paying the executives "dismayed" him.

Cuomo says that if AIG wasn't bailed out by the federal government, there's no way the payments would have been made.

• The top recipient received more than $6.4 million
• The top seven bonus recipients received more than $4 million each
• The top ten bonus recipients received a combined $42 million
• 22 individuals received bonuses of $2 million or more, and combined they received more than $72 million
• 73 individuals received bonuses of $1 million or more

"It is only by the grace of American taxpayers that members of Financial Products even have jobs, let alone a pool of retention bonus money," said Cuomo in a blistering letter to Barney Frank, the chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Financial Services.  Read the letter here (PDF).

The committee will meet on Wednesday.
