Thread: Fuck AIG

"AIG made significant efforts to disguise the conference, making sure there were no AIG logos or signs anywhere on the property," KNXV reported.


A hotel employee told KNXV reporter Josh Bernstein, "We can't even say the word [AIG]."

A company spokesperson, Nick Ashooh, confirmed AIG instructed the hotel to make sure there were no AIG signs or mention of the company by staff.

"We're trying to avoid confrontation, keep our profile low," said Ashooh. "Some of our employees have been harassed."

And:

AIG came under fire last month when Congressional investigators revealed its executives attended a seminar for independent insurance agents at another luxury resort, in Southern California.

The AIG spokesman said the meeting in Phoenix was for independent financial advisors and "was the kind of thing we have to do to run our business."

Company officials confirmed the company spent an estimated $343,000 to sponsor the 2008 Asset Management Conference. A spokesperson said much of the cost would be recouped from product sponsors at the conference.

Explain to me again why this company NEEDS our money to survive, or the entirety of western civilization will collapse?

Smells like another conjob to me.

They are afraid of the more than 100,000 jobs that will be lost when it goes under. Just think, at some point they must come to realize that the deflation has taken on a mind of its own and the more money you pump into it will be that much more money to be lost. Right now the government thinks it can cover the derivatives market. That is the reason for the Fed's lack of disclosure.

Agreed. Apparently they are trying to cut some costs here and there, but honestly, it's not enough, can never be enough, and they should just stop with this crap. On the other hand, I'm very happy to see the press dogging them the way they are.

I've got a 403(b) with AIG but I'm absolutely disgusted by their behavior. They should be ashamed by what they've done but worse, the Bush Administration is helping them with our money.

Enough. If AIG can't survive because of bad business decisions, so be it. Let them die.

Ronin, you're right, as usual. Screw AIG.
