Greenberg admits ‘anger’ over AIG

Hank Greenberg, AIG’s ex-chief executive who was ousted in 2005, told a US federal court on Wednesday he had been “angry” and “unhappy” about his ouster from the stricken insurer, as AIG’s attorney sought to draw links between Greenberg’s exit and termination of AIG’s $4.3bn retirement plan, controlled by Starr, his private investment firm. Greenberg admitted he was ‘exaggerating’ when he had assured participants in 2000 that the plan would have “sufficient shares in the trust for a couple hundred years”.
