Former AIG Chief to Pay $15 Million to Settle SEC Charges
Greenberg, 84, headed AIG for nearly four decades and built it into one of the world's largest and most revered insurance companies, operating in more than 130 countries. But he was forced to step down in 2005 amid an accounting scandal that led to multiple state and federal investigations. After his departure, AIG was forced to restate years worth of earnings and pay hefty settlements to investigators.
Greenberg has consistently denied allegations that he acted unlawfully, and even as he agreed Thursday to the settlement, he neither admitted nor denied wrongdoing ... of course not ... he pocketed $4.3 billion dollars. $15 million is chump change.
