Charlie Rose talks to Maurice 'Hank' Greenberg

摘要

Your book, The AIG Story, tells of one man's vision for building a great global corporation and how, in 2005, he was forced out. That's correct. By [Eliot] Spitzer, not the board of directors. What happened? We'd done a transaction with one of Warren Buffett's companies, General Re…. [It] had no effect on shareholder equity or earnings per share. Spitzer got ahold of that because one of Buffett's companies had done a transaction that bankrupted a medical malpractice company. So he turned over to Spitzer all such transactions that his company had done. Spitzer jumped on that.
