Hank Greenberg: A Bronze Star Vindication

TishTrek - The JOB BLOG!

James Freeman's book review in the Wall Street Journal this week is a 'must' read!

TishTrek comments on Mr. Freeman's critique of Roddy Boyd's book, "Fatal Risk," which documents the real story behind the intentional ouster of former CEO Hank Greenberg and the destruction of American International Group, Inc., (AIG).

The book is a page turner! See my letter to the Wall Street Journal below.

Subject: Eliot Spitzer's Assisted Suicide of AIG = Hank's Bronze Star Vindication!


Dear Editor,

James Freeman's critique of Roddy Boyd's "Fatal Risk" (Bookshelf, April 5th) reads like The Murder on the Orient Express. There's someone powerful connected to the destruction of AIG lurking in every car including some of Eliot Spitzer's former colleagues at Paul, Weiss et al who lined up to give the proverbial trainman on-going cover to secure their seats in first class while Mr. Spitzer collected his fare for that trip to the governor's office.

Agatha Christie wrote, “The whistle means that help is near," so kudos to Mr. Boyd for following the stench and blowing a whistle. It's clear former AIG CEO Maurice "Hank" Greenberg was 'pushed' out by Mr. Spitzer and by all 'those' who helped mostly because over twenty of the most powerful corporate counter-parties in the world and high net worth clients tied to AIG's financial-products subsidiary were desperate to funnel 100% of their contrived risk through someone else's company.

For decades, CEO Greenberg's weekly risk management and accountability meetings across all businesses kept the focus on shareholder interests and successfully rooted out AIG employees determined to do the company harm. Those of us who worked for Mr. Greenberg's Executive Team know - as a matter of fact and principle - that AIG managers on the inside together with their counter-parties and lawyers on the outside could not have pulled off their three year subprime-mortgage binge nor could they have collusively infested the financial system with such a high level of intentional deception off the back of AIG without getting Mr. Greenberg out of the way in 2005.

We can expect some fascinating sequels to "Fatal Risk" once the world deciphers the 700,000 pages of AIG documents and deposition testimony from those faceless Spitzer witnesses who intentionally destroyed The House that Hank Built for personal profit. In the meantime, Mr. Spitzer arrogantly uses his Ashley Dupre-Client #9 cover at CNN as a salacious deflection tactic to divert public attention from his role as the political thug who ousted Mr. Greenberg when the financial stakes of his supporters required the assisted suicide of AIG.

You see, the whistle means that a Bronze Star vindication of the honorable Hank Greenberg is near.
