I am going to be the CEO of a huge company that inflates/overstates/lies about our numbers. I will try to make VAST profits from the drive up in our stock value. Then, when the company I am leading, goes to shit...I will sue to make sure I get my money that I had so cleverly planned on making.

WOW! That's brass balls right there...big ones...huge!

1. On Msnbc he is basically saying he is owed money and is suing the Government.
It is priceless watching a rich bastard cry over losing "2million dollars", those are words out of his mouth.

2. to be fair to him....this shit with AIG didn't happen on his watch
he was essentially forced into retirement at the company he started.

3. he was CEO until 2005
and was forced to resign amid one of the accounting scandals that rocked AIG. He was a part of the problem...or at least complicit in it. AIG didn't fall apart in two years...
