Watch AIG try and renege some of the $22.7Billion that it paid in interest for the $182Billion bailout we gave them.
Even as I write this, they are meeting in NY to discuss whether or not to join a suit being brought by a former chief exec Maurice Greenberg against the Fed for "loansharking" essentially.
Now I'm sure most of you, like me, have seen the recent ad campaign where AIG "Thanked America" and touted how they repaid their debt, are fixing disaster zones. Yadda yadda.
Not even 6 months later. No, not even 6 weeks later. Here they are, contemplating SUING THE FEDERAL RESERVE because they now feel (a couple years and a couple hundred billion dollars later) that the terms of the deal they agreed to should not be binding because they're "unfair". Really?
Anybody on here try to skip out on a mortage payment because they thought it was "unfair"? If so, i'm guessing it didn't workout quite so well as it probably will for these slimbags. At most, they will have their already tarnished image run through the mud once or twice and then it'll be back to the sappy advertisements.
We can barely support ourselves as a nation right now (thanks in large part to corporate greed and beauracratic incompetence) and now they want to steal from us again, at a time when we can't even loosen the pursestrings to help disaster victims like those affected by Sandy. Fuck AIG and every other boardroom raider posse out there.
This shit is disgusting.
