And during the fifteen months, as the US housing market came crashing down, AIG’s vulnerability to these collateral calls ultimately grounded this giant. Imagine the consternation of shareholders who were misled all along. For example, Joseph Cassano, Head of the AIG swaps-portfolio division, said in August last year, “It is hard for us to even see a scenario within any kind of realm of reason that would see us losing [even] $1 in any of those transactions...” To this, Martin Sullivan, AIG’s CEO added, “That’s why I am sleeping a little bit easier at night.”

Trouble began when AIG’s counterparties – Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, UBS, Barclays, RBS et al – demanded collaterals from AIG during the second half of 2007. Obviously, it didn’t have the money! Reason enough for the US Federal Reserve to rescue AIG on September 16, 2008 with a $85 billion bailout package in return for a 79.9% equity interest. AIG needed this amount for posting its due collaterals. And while this was happening within the walls of the insurance giant, outside, its share price was tumbling! And to imagine that that huge bailout sum wasn’t enough, the Fed had to promise another sum of $37.8 billion to further lighten AIG’s collateral load.
