AIG Considers Suing US Government Over Bailout


 

AIG´s board is considering demanding $25Bn for the ´dilution inflicted on shareholders when the Federal Reserve Bank of New York took a 79.9% stake in return for $182Bn in loans and guarantees´.
Four years ago, AIG was given the largest bailout to keep itself afloat. Per a spokesman at the New York Fed, "There is no merit to these alligactions. AIG´s board.. had an alternative choice to borrowing from the Fed.. that choice was bankruptcy."
Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warran said, "Taxpayers across this country saved AIG from ruin, and it would be outrageous for this company to turn around and sue the federal governmant because they think the deal wasn´t generous enough."
