We just gave AIG $30 billion. AIG is also suing us over a tax matter, so we’re paying to sue ourselves. And now we’re going to pay for AIG to defend itself from … it’s former CEO:
This is sad and kind of awesome. Maurice “Hank” Greenberg, the man who built up AIG into the global powerhouse, before being forced out by Eliot Spitzer, is suing his old company for securities fraud. Greenberg says that mirepresentations by the company caused him to overpay for the stock.
It’s as though he killed his own parents and is now complaining because he’s a fucking orphan.
We’re not sure what he’s getting at or going for. He’s not likely to get any money from the company, but maybe he’s trying to save face after all those one-on-ones with Maria Bartiromo, in which he claimed that the company was merely suffering from a liquidity crisis, not a solvency one. Remember those?
This is one of the silliest fucking suits I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a lot of them. Fuck. Me. Running.
Can we sue AIG and Greenberg to get our bailout money back?
