AIG acts to avoid default risk
This is when you know you are important to a company. When, if you leave, a multi-billion dollar company defaults on 234 billion in derivatives and causes a global economic paralysis and consequent meltdown. That is a scary fact, one guy controls this outcome. I hope they are guarding him and making sure he stays very happy. How ridiculous to be in that position.
