AIG Execs Hold Another Luxury Retreat
And executives at the government-rescued insurance giant AIG have been
caught holding
another secretive gathering at a luxury resort. Using hidden cameras,
local ABC News
reporters filmed AIG execs poolside at the Pointe Hilton Squaw Peak
Resort in Phoenix,
Arizona. AIG has admitted to asking the hotel to ensure there were no
AIG signs and to
instruct staff not to mention its presence. It's at least the second
known resort getaway for
AIG brass since their government rescue. In September, company
executives held a week-
long, nearly half-a-million-dollar retreat at a luxury resort just
days after receiving an initial
$85 billion in taxpayer money. On Monday, the Bush administration said
it would give AIG an
additional $40 billion, bringing its taxpayer tab to $150 billion so
far.
