The government wants to intervene again for AIG's bailout... if they do so, it will be the 4th time the government has bailed out AIG. I hope their stock goes back up... as of 3/5 the stock is only 35 cents!!!!! That's sad!

I am looking for answers to this myself, AIG annuities is a subsidy of AIG and should be insulated from the credit concerns of the parent company, however NY state's actions of allowing AIG to use policy holder's account as collateral clouds the issue. Aig personnel are not able to answer this question either, this unpercedented situation is unfolding so quickly, they have not been briefed. They did advise however that the principal is guaranteed but with 20 years of interest in the account that is little comfort. What can you do? by the time you are able to transfer the funds out it will be a moot issue, they will either have been bailed out or in bankruptcy.

AIG did NOT file bankruptcy. It was bailed out by the Federal government, who now owns 79.9% of the company (just shy of the 80% needed to formally put it on Uncle Sam's books). Past stockholders--or whoever bought shares from them--still own the rest, unlike a true bankruptcy such as GM or Chrysler.
