Anyway yeah, pretty unscrupulous bunch. I was reading somewhere not too long ago that the current AIG issue, and some of the other banks looking for a bailout is vastly inflated. Basically a bunch of different banks do this thing where they basically insured the debt on properties. So when people defaulted they took a huge hit... but the thing is a lot of this supposed "debt" that AIG and other banks have is essentially a round-robin between banks. Also since often more than one bank would insure the debt on a property, when it defaults the supposed loss the banks take is often cumulatively more than the actual cost of the property that defaulted. Its a pretty complex system and I don't pretend to understand it entirely.. but it sounds pretty scam-tastic to me. Thanks for responding to my comment! Sorry it took me a while to get back to ya.

They basically counted premiums as profit instead of liability. It shows a clear disconnect from standard accounting standards that should have raised lots of red flags and put them on a strict watch by the regulatory authorities. Instead the regulatory authorities trusted AIG and even continue to do so in the face of overwhelming evidence that they are not a trustworthy institution.
