The AIG bailout in 2008 was primarily caused by the company's heavy exposure to risky financial products known as credit default swaps, which led to significant losses during the subprime mortgage crisis. AIG's inability to meet its financial obligations threatened the stability of the entire financial system due to its interconnectedness with other institutions. The U.S. government intervened to prevent a systemic collapse by providing a massive bailout package to stabilize AIG and prevent further economic turmoil.

The size of the almost $10 Trillion in US Government debt was another large factor.
