Talk:AIG (disambiguation)

Vandalism of article
I'm a little perplexed (shocked) that the first definition for AIG is as follows:

AIG is American International Group, a major American insurance corporation that specializes in GREED

Perhaps not currently understanding what Wikipedia now stands for, this definition is at the very least perplexing. Wikipedia's own definition describes American International Group as an insurance company, that upon a credit downgrade developed extremely serious liquidity problems which resulted in a record $62 billion quarterly loss and subsequent cash infusion and majority ownership (80%) by the US government. Because of the complexities involved with certain types of insurance products like credit default swaps, the liquidation of Lehman Bros a few days earlier, and an unknown certainty regarding other financial institutions involvement in credit default swap like products the US government felt it had no choice but financially rescue AIG. Financial stabilization did cause some in leadership roles to display unforgivable behaviors given the companies current circumstances, but when all that I just described can be summarized by the single word "GREED" in what I thought was a fair, intellectually honest, objective information source, then it's time to sale the house, move to a remote area and strive for internal piece because the Earth will no longer make sense ever again.Richram (talk) 14:28, 22 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Checking the article history, the last edit was an anonymous editor adding "that specializes in GREED". I've just removed it; you could have done so yourself just as readily. —C.Fred (talk) 14:30, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

I apologize C.Fred, I'm relatively new and with the corporate page for AIG locked I wasn't sure the extent of my privileges. Thanks for your help.Richram (talk) 15:04, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
