703 Words3 Pages

The AIG Scandal 2005 started when AIG management was issuing a press release describing its third quarter earnings in 2000 to the public. The report showed that the premium of AIG was significantly increasing, while its loss reserves was decreasing by $59 million. However, according to many industry analysts, along with the positive earnings, AIG in fact should show an increase in its loss reserves as well.

In the dealing, both parties agreed that CRD was to pay a total of $500 million to NUFIC, whereas NUFIC was to provide $600 million of reinsurance coverage.

Thirdly, CRD paid its parent company, General RE a premium of $0.4 million for a fake reinsurance contract. Fourthly, GRD received a loss payment of $13 million from General RE.

This increasing volume of transactions highlights the need for buyers, investors, and even sellers to proceed carefully in the heavily regulated environment surrounding them.
