Current Investigations:
The FBI, SEC, and the British Serious Fraud Office are investigating the AIG Financial Products Group for hiding its losses on investments related to derivatives known as credit default swaps. It sustained a loss of more than $11 billion in the fourth quarter of 2008.
January 2009:
-A senior executive of AIG was found guilty in the 2000 case involving AIG and General Re. Christian Milton, who was AIG's vice president of reinsurance from 1982 to 2005, was convicted of conspiracy, securities fraud, mail fraud, and making false statements to the SEC in the case, which cost shareholders nearly $600 million. Greenberg was not charged in the case, although prosecutors identified him as an "unindicted coconspirator."
September 2008:
-Greenberg and three other former AIG executives paid $115 million to settle a case brought by a Louisiana pension fund. The Teachers' Retirement System of Louisiana alleged that half of the $2.2 billion that AIG paid to C.V. Starr -a firm run by Greenberg that also underwrote some AIG business -- from 2000 to 2005 was a sham, a way to artificially drive profits to the company. They also questioned why some AIG executives were allowed to serve simultaneously as officers of Starr, while also profiting from business between the two companies.
February 2006:
-AIG agreed to pay more than $1.6 billion -- the biggest regulatory settlement by a single company in U.S. history, according to Reuters -- to settle claims related to the 2000 case involving General Re and AIG. The settlement was for improper accounting, bid rigging and practices involving workers' compensation funds. ThenNew York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer said at the time that AIG "finds itself in this position solely because some senior managers thought it was acceptable to deceive the investing public and regulators."
September 2003:
-AIG paid a $10 million civil penalty to settle fraud charges involving Plainfield, Ind.-based phone distributor Brightpoint Inc. The SEC charged AIG with fashioning and selling "purported insurance product that Brightpoint used to report false and misleading financial information to the public."
