Not a black hole after all...

AIG confesses. As the actions of the insurance giant become more and more visible, stakeholders struggle increasingly intense as fish on dry land. You know the bottom line: AIG received 149 billion dollars from the U.S. government and they were using it to scroll to a number of clients. There is lot of outrage. While other colleagues have to pay spicy amounts of interest in exchange of direct government aid, a number of names are escaping on more than a suspicious manner. So hard-pressed, AIG starts to open the books. In a document with a number of annexes, AIG shows what they have paid through various mechanisms to counterparties. High on the list we find Goldman Sachs and SocGen.

Is anybody surprised?
