Before the current AIG meltdown there was the original AIG scandal involving its longtime CEO and chairman Hank Greenberg, who was revered as a titan of the financial services world before (and to a large degree even after) his ignominious end at the helm. He’s testifying about the AIG mess today on Capital Hill — and you can be sure he’ll be trying to put a lot of distance between himself and AIG Financial Products, even though it originated on his watch and he enjoyed the spoils of its high profitability for years before he stepped down. We’re covering his testimony this morning over at TPMmuckraker.
