Obviously not - unless you're an idiot.

So, most of the people who can find well-paying jobs elsewhere will do so. The most talented and most promising employees will leave and seek greener pastures. Of course, they will get replaced. Largely by less competent people or people who haven't proven themselves yet.

How exactly will that help the company?
Not only that, but AIG as we know it won't exist very soon....they're selling off the company in pieces, and to do that you need people who know where all the bodies are buried. You can't sell the pieces without those people....it would take forensic accountants months and months and months to do the due diligence necessary for other companies to buy the pieces if the AIG employees who knew what was going on weren't there.
In the end that would cost the taxpayers alot more than it cost to just pay the bonuses and keep the people there.

Of course the mob is out and about with their pitch forks and ready to cut of their noses to spite their faces.
