We can't be sure the guys still there aren't trying to keep the mistakes and crimes hidden. In fact, the only smart thing is to assume they are.
The old workers should be court ordered and removed, and cleanup and investigative teams brought in.

Also, FWIW, the government doesn't have the authority to do what you're suggesting. The Obama administration has asked congress to give it that authority, but they don't currently have it.
Also, nobody at AIG did anything illegal. They did alot of stupid things but none of it was against the law. If it didn't pose systemic risk to the whole system, they'd just let it go bankrupt like any other business that made bad bets....but after what happened with Lehman, they decided an orderly wind down of the business was in everyone's best interest....but that doesn't mean they get to go in and tell people they're not getting paid or they're taking back money they made before or investigating people or shit like that.
That's ridiculous.
