NEW YORK (AP) - Maurice Greenberg abruptly resigned as longtime chairman of American International Group Inc. amid a threat that the New York attorney general would indict AIG if he was still at the embattled company's helm as it faced growing government probes, The Wall Street Journal reported in Friday's editions.
The Journal, citing unnamed sources familiar with the case, said Attorney General Eliot Spitzer told AIG lawyers he was dismayed over what he called the "document caper."
In Bermuda last Friday, a lawyer for Greenberg, whose nickname is Hank, carted boxes of documents out of an AIG office and into a van, the sources told the Journal. The next day, lawyers hired by AIG to handle a regulatory probe discovered certain records were missing, and that an AIG employee had destroyed some computer records and tape recordings of business meetings, the sources said.
