This year, AIG will rob them again, even though their major crime was having a name easy enough for all the idiots in news to pronounce.</p><br /><p>Granted, they are not without blame, but show me one large corporation that is.</p><br /><p>Comcast ASPIRES to be shitty. Their business model is basically to bend people over and rape them. That is their INTENT.

groups that deserve a share of the blame. The people who accepted loans they could not afford are at fault for being financially irresponsible (I know they may have been mislead into believing this was ok, but that doesn't exempt you from blame completely) Also on the list are the U.S. Politicians for encouraging everyone to own a home (I don't have facts to back this up, but they most likely did this to get the minority vote), when in reality it's ok not to. It's to me similar to the \"everyone should go to college\" idea. There is no shame in going into a trade (plumber, electrician) and making living that way, not everyone needs to be a scholar.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(12634485, 'Mike Amory')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->        <div class=\"reply-container\" >            <div class=\"comment last\" id=\"comment-12634546\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">                <a href=\"\"><img src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"         width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>            </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\">Mike Amory    </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/05/worst-company-in-america-championship-aig-vs-comcast.html#comment-12634546\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-05-06T20:19:58-05:00\">May  6, 2009  8:19 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(12634546);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=12634546');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>@<a href=\"#c12634485\" rel=\"nofollow\">Mike Amory</a>:</p><p>Sorry for replying to myself but I also wanted to add that there were parts of AIG that continued to make money while their (Is it called Mortgage?) department went down the tubes.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(12634546, 'Mike Amory')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	</div>     <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	</div>     <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	</div>     <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	     <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->                    <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-12628344\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">                <a href=\"\"><img src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"         width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>            </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\">I'm Sorry, You're Wrong.    </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/05/worst-company-in-america-championship-aig-vs-comcast.html#comment-12628344\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-05-06T17:26:36-05:00\">May  6, 2009  5:26 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(12628344);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=12628344');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>@<a href=\"#c12624627\" rel=\"nofollow\">lawnmowerdeth</a>: This contest is rigged with too many consumer outrage toward a company with admittedly poor costumer service. Where's the outrage toward AT&amp;T for illegally facilitating the Bush Administrations civilian eavesdropping program? If it were up to me this would be a show-down between AT&amp;T and AIG, with AT&amp;T taking the cake for getting away with everything and managing to get Congress to pass a RETROACTIVE bill giving them immunity for any violations they may have committed. And please don't tell me they did it out of some misguided patriotic duty; they were paid BILLIONS from the government for their participation.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(12628344, 'I\\'m Sorry, You\\'re Wrong.')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	     <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->                    <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-12626273\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">                <a href=\"http://\"><img src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"         width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>            </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a title=\"http://\" href=\"http://\" rel=\"nofollow\">tc4b</a>    </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/05/worst-company-in-america-championship-aig-vs-comcast.html#comment-12626273\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-05-06T16:27:55-05:00\">May  6, 2009  4:27 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(12626273);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=12626273');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>@<a href=\"#c12624627\" rel=\"nofollow\">lawnmowerdeth</a>: So, you don't think the outrage directed at AIG is justified?</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(12626273, 'tc4b')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->        <div class=\"reply-container\" >            <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-12633448\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=195787\"><img        src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=195787\">barty</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/05/worst-company-in-america-championship-aig-vs-comcast.html#comment-12633448\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-05-06T19:49:00-05:00\">May  6, 2009  7:49 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(12633448);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=12633448');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>@<a href=\"#c12626273\" rel=\"nofollow\">tc4b</a>: Nope. They had a contract to pay those people and those handing out the bailout money were silent about it until it came time for those bonuses to be paid out.

/><p>AIG's debt insurance business blew up because it formulated derivative contracts on debt securities that all correlated to one. But it was operating with bad ratings, misrepresented and/or hard-to-determine valuations, and has had its role as a financing conduit for other banks deliberately misrepresented in the press. It built its CDS business on trash paper, but it didn't start the fire. Mortgages and mortgage-backed securities did. That AIG is continuing to receive bailout money so it can pay out contracts on those - and not being allowed to go bankrupt so the company can continue to act as a political cover organization for very large bailouts to what are generally considered \"good\" banks as well as offshore entities - is not AIG's fault. The company is being made into a sham and a scapegoat.</p></p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(12626391, 'ADismalScience')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->        <div class=\"reply-container\" >            <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-12632587\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">        <a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;amp;blog_id=1&amp;amp;id=16563\"><img        src=\"http://consumerist.com/assets_c/userpics/userpic-16563-100x100.png\"        width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>    </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=16563\">Trai_Dep</a>        </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/05/worst-company-in-america-championship-aig-vs-comcast.html#comment-12632587\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-05-06T19:22:01-05:00\">May  6, 2009  7:22 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(12632587);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=12632587');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>@<a href=\"#c12626391\" rel=\"nofollow\">ADismalScience</a>: Yeah, but large institutional investors - whose involvement transformed a middling hiccup into a global catastrophe - were restricted into buying only AAA securities.<br />Which AIG's CDSs handily provided, at prices woefully cheap since they were incapable of accurately gauging risk.</p><p>Using your analogy, they were the napalm that engulfed the system.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(12632587, 'Trai_Dep')\">Reply</a></div>		 	    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>                <!-- Display comment (reply comment, which may be a parent of more replies) -->            <div class=\"inner-reply-container\" >                 <!-- For each reply comment, recursively display any reply comments -->          	    </div>        	     <!-- Loop through the reply comments -->                    <div class=\"comment last\" id=\"comment-12629142\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">                <a href=\"\"><img src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"         width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>            </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\">Sean Masters    </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/05/worst-company-in-america-championship-aig-vs-comcast.html#comment-12629142\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-05-06T17:48:52-05:00\">May  6, 2009  5:48 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(12629142);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=12629142');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>@<a href=\"#c12626391\" rel=\"nofollow\">ADismalScience</a>: Thanks!

It developed a reputation as an innovator with one of the most diverse toolboxes in the derivatives business.</p><br /><p>That's how Cassano and his Transaction Development Group found coal.</p><br /><p>For a group of financial wizards, the coal business seemed an odd turn. But it was a logical extension of what the firm had been doing all along: discovering gaps in regulations and markets.</p><br /><p>A 1980 law, generated by the Carter administration, offered tax credits to companies as incentives to design and use synthetic fuel systems. The aim was to reduce US dependence on foreign oil.</p><br /><p>Associates at the Transaction Development Group had discovered that many energy companies were not making enough money to benefit from the tax breaks. But Financial Products' profitable parent, AIG, could use those credits to reduce its tax bill.</p><br /><p>\"One thing AIG had was ample income,\" Savage said. \"So what we did is, we went out and we bought synthetic coal facilities.\"</p><br /><p>The firm had no intention of becoming coal processors. Instead, it arranged to install the equipment-bought for more than $225 million, as Savage recalls-at coal facilities and power plants. The facilities leased and operated the machines at a discount, while AIG got millions in tax credits.</p><br /><p>Financial Products hedged aspects of the deals, and checked with government officials to make sure the arrangements qualified for the breaks. Savage said the idea was bold as well as clever. \"We had the gumption to go out and take seven of these plants that were sitting around doing nothing,\" he said. \"We carted [the machines] off to where they could be used, and it went on.\"</p><br /><p>Greenberg, too, was taken with the gambit. \"It was opportunistic,\" he said recently. He once joked that he wanted to ride shotgun in the truck carting the machines around, Savage said.</p><br /><p>Over the next few years, AIG reaped $875 million in benefits from the deals. It was a coup for Cassano and his group. Although it wasn't Cassano's idea, Savage said, he guided it from concept to reality.</p><br /><p>\"He says he thought about it for six months,\" said Savage, who came to appreciate Cassano's single-minded focus. \"He made a lot of money for the company.\"</p><br /><p>$875 million plus kept a shady technology going...</p></p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(12626480, 'econobiker')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","","","","","","","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-12627056\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">                <a href=\"http://\"><img src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"         width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>            </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a title=\"http://\" href=\"http://\" rel=\"nofollow\">tc4b</a>    </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/05/worst-company-in-america-championship-aig-vs-comcast.html#comment-12627056\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-05-06T16:50:14-05:00\">May  6, 2009  4:50 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(12627056);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=12627056');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>@<a href=\"#c12626935\" rel=\"nofollow\">ADismalScience</a>: Yeah, who started it anyhow?

This is ILLEGAL under Washington State Law.<br />* When the autobody shop finished repairs, AIG disputed payments, dragged their feet, and were all-around cock-heads about paying out my claim.  My car sat for 18 days in the lot of the autobody shop I worked next door to until AIG finally paid up.<br />* My experience was so terrible that I opened a policy elsewhere and cancelled the remaining term of my policy with AIG, which should have entitled me to a refund, but instead AIG continued to bill me despite my letters and phone calls to them, then sent me to collections because I closed the account they refused to cease pilfering from.</p><p>Comcast, on the other hand, merely offered me discounted service when I called to cancel.  Even though I refused the offer, when my account was cancelled, it stayed cancelled for good, and I even got a $12 check in return for services paid for in advance.</p><p>AIG can suck it.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(12636816, 'Mykie Gunderson')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-12636863\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">                <a href=\"http://cheapassgamer.com\"><img src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"         width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>            </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a title=\"http://cheapassgamer.com\" href=\"http://cheapassgamer.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">TerribleDecade</a>    </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/05/worst-company-in-america-championship-aig-vs-comcast.html#comment-12636863\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-05-06T21:38:08-05:00\">May  6, 2009  9:38 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(12636863);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=12636863');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>AIG whose practises paved the way for monkey shooting companies like Comcast to exist.</p>        </div>	<div class=\"reply\">	 <div class=\"reply-button\"><a title=\"Reply\" href=\"javascript:void(0);\" onclick=\"mtReplyCommentOnClick(12636863, 'TerribleDecade')\">Reply</a></div>		<!-- if it's a top level category ' -->		    </div><!-- end reply- button -->    </div></div>        <!-- Display comment (top level parent) -->    </div>","","","<div class=\"comments-content\">        <div class=\"comment\" id=\"comment-12639852\">    <div class=\"inner\">	 <div class=\"user-pic\">                <a href=\"http://\"><img src=\"/css/images/default.gif\"         width=\"60\" height=\"60\" alt=\"user-pic\" /></a>            </div>        <div class=\"comment-header\">            <div class=\"asset-meta\"> <div class=\"vcard author\"><a title=\"http://\" href=\"http://\" rel=\"nofollow\">tc4b</a>    </div>				<div class=\"comment-date\"><a href=\"http://consumerist.com/2009/05/worst-company-in-america-championship-aig-vs-comcast.html#comment-12639852\"><abbr class=\"published\" title=\"2009-05-06T23:46:53-05:00\">May  6, 2009 11:46 PM</abbr></a></div>				<div class=\"comment-moderate\"><span><a href=\"javascript:moderateComment(12639852);\">Moderate</a> |</span><a href='javascript:void(0)' onClick=\"return moderate(this, 'http://consumerist.com/cgi-bin/mt/plugins/Moderate/moderate.cgi?__mode=flag&comment_id=12639852');\">Flag for review</a></div>            </div>        </div><!-- end comment header -->        <div class=\"comment-content\">            <p>Obviously I'm letting this get to me too much, so I promise I'll stop after this one, but my two main beefs are</p><p>1) People assuming that hating AIG means you 'forgot' about all other parties responsible, and</p><p>2) People assuming that we who hate AIG don't have the first clue about what really happened</p><p>I'm here to tell you both assumptions are false.
