Reference no: EM131937394
In Sept. 2008, the U.S. government seized control of AIG in exchange for $85 billion. Later, the company was given $95 billion more. The justification for the bailout was not just to save AIG, but also to save the financial system - or so it was alleged.
After AIG received its bailout funds, the company started a massive restructuring project by selling many business units to pay off its debt.
