I missed this yesterday. From the NYT:

Wall Street is coming under mounting political pressure to cut bonuses for top executives, traders and bankers in what was already expected to be a down year for pay.

Under pressure from members of Congress to curtail compensation, banks now face a new threat from Andrew M. Cuomo, the New York attorney general, who sent a letter on Wednesday to nine big financial institutions receiving government aid.

Mr. Cuomo gave the companies a week to provide a “detailed accounting regarding your expected payments to top management in the upcoming bonus season.”

That could prove difficult for the banks, which typically do not complete bonus pools until later this month at the earliest.

Mr. Cuomo’s letter also warned that payments worth more than the services provided by executives might violate New York law.
