AIG CEO Robert Benmosche: $10B+ Profit For Taxpayers

Will taxpayers come out ahead when AIG AIG settles its debt? Company CEO Robert Benmosche says that yes – and by about $10 billion. In fact, Benmosche told CNBC that taxpayers could see a $15 billion profit. Benmosche also said that higher value for AIG's shares would be beneficial to taxpayers, but it is up to the government to decide when the sale should occur. “We're working to get the company right and get our performance right” for the sale, Benmosche said.
