Ex-AIG chief says problems not his fault
The former head of disgraced insurance giant AIG, Maurice "Hank" Greenberg," said in an interview published Thursday that he does not "feel any responsibility at all" for the company's problems.
Greenberg, 83, was set to testify Thursday before a congressional committee, his first public appearance under oath since the government's first bailout of the firm in September.
At the hearing, he plans to propose reducing the government's stake in AIG and pressuring trading partners to invest back into the company, the Wall Street Journal said on its website.
"Somebody should lean on them," Greenberg told the Journal, referring to trading partners that received massive payments thanks to a government rescue that has so far exceeded 170 billion dollars.
