AIG Seeks More US Funds As Firm Faces Record Loss
American Insurance Group, the insurance giant that is 80-percent owned by the US government, is in discussions with the government to secure additional funds so it can keep operating after next Monday, when it will report the largest loss in U.S. corporate history, CNBC has learned. said the loss will be near $60 billion due to writedowns on a variety of assets including commercial real estate.
That massive loss is likely to spur downgrades in its insurance and credit ratings that will force AIG to raise collateral that it doesn't have.
In addition, if AIG's book value falls below a certain level, as it seems certain to do, it will trigger default in certain of its debt instruments, say people familiar with the situation.
All of this adds up to a huge headache for the Federal Reserve and Treasury, which have already provided over $150 billion of assistance to AIG.
Talks between the government and AIG are focussed on how the company can swap some of the debt held by the government for equity in AIG.
The problem is that the government's ownership stake cannot exceed its current 79.9 percent, leaving officials to try and find a creative way to transfer value to the US in exchange for AIG reducing its debt so that it can then borrow more from the government to meet its collateral calls.
AIG has borrowed roughly $40 billion from a $60 billion credit facility provided it by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. If it can find a way to pay that down by swapping equity, it hopes to take it back up to a level that will allow it to meet its collateral and capital calls.
AIG's board is scheduled to meet this Sunday night in hopes of hammering out an agreement with the government. But in case it can't, AIG's lawyers at Weill Gotschal are preparing for the possibility of bankruptcy.
That seems unlikely, but last November, the government took control of many of AIG's credit default swaps and so a bankruptcy of the holding company might not pose the systemic risk it once did.
AIG said in a statement it had not yet reported results and would provide an update when it does so in the near future.
"We continue to work with the U.S. government to evaluate potential new alternatives for addressing AIG's financial challenges," AIG said. U.S. Treasury officials declined to comment.

A lot of people after brought a GPS, 100% believe on it, this is not correct. first of all the map might be outdated, even thought it’s new version it can’t guarantee 100% correct (let’s say place that can’t turn left but GPS don’t contain the record and ask you left) , the physical driving have to follow the practical condition. please see the picture, due to the GPS map information wrong, many car is stuck after enter, therefore the local have to setup a plate “Do Not Follow SAT NAV”. another picture, advice everybody follow the physical road sign and condition while driving, don’t always look at the GPS.

What To Do If Stopped By Malaysian Police
What To Do If Stopped By Malaysian Police
This is very useful information. Please pass it on to your family and friends, especially the women folk!
The next time you are stopped by persons who claimed they are plain clothes police, you are under no obligation to answer their questions or follow their orders, lawyers’ told Malaysiakini today.
‘Policeman who is not wearing his uniform does not have the authority to stop anyone,’ lawyer and human rights activist Sivarasa Rasiah said.
Sivarasa was commenting on the alleged gang-rape of an 18-year-old university student by four men claiming to be police officers on New Year’s Eve.
The girl said that her car was stopped in Taman Tun Dr Ismail in Kuala Lumpur and were asked by the men to open the car bonnet. She was then told that she had committed an offence and ordered to follow the men to a police station. The girl was driven in her car along the North-South expressway to the Tapah-Cameron Highlands road before she was raped in an oil palm estate. This incident and many others, have sparked confusion over the procedures which motorists must follow when flagged down by the police.
The most common problem is that most people take instructions without determining if the other person is really a cop,’ lawyer Annie Santiago said.
However, if you are stopped by a uniformed policeman, then you are required to stop. But you need not get out of the car because you are not expected to do so, Santiago said. He other rule to follow is to provide your identity card only when you are asked to do so. ‘Even then, you should get his ID first to confirm if he is a cop. There is no harm in calling the relevant police station to verify if he is supposed to be on duty that day,’ Sivarasa said.
Both lawyers said that motorists should never follow an officer to the police station unless one is under arrest. ‘If you are not sure, and your instincts tell you that something is wrong, then drive off to the nearest police station and lodge a report,’ Sivarasa said.
In response to the alleged gang-rape of the 18-year-old, Women’s Aid Organization executive-secretary Ivy Josiah called on the police to launch an education program to teach the public about their rights to prevent them from being victimized by bogus police officers.
Procedures to follow in the event you are stopped by uniformed police Officers while driving:
1. Stop the car and wind down your window.
2. If the police officers ask for your documents, request to see their IDs first.
3. If you are satisfied about their identity, ask them if you are being summoned, and for what offense.
4. Produce your identity card and driver’s license and wait to collect your summon ticket.
In the event that the police officers ask you to follow them to the police station:
1. Ask if you are under arrest and for what offense.
2. If you are not under arrest, you have the right to leave.
In the event you are flagged down by persons you believe could be plain clothes police:
1. Do not stop because plain clothes police officers do not have the authority to stop you.
2. Drive to the nearest police station and lodge a report. (The same procedure applies to pedestrians)
In the event the police come to your house:
1. Do not let them in before checking their IDs.
2. If you are not satisfied, phone the nearest police station and confirm if they had been sent to your house.
3. You are under no obligation to allow them into the house if they don’t have a search warrant.
4. Do not go with them if you are not under arrest.
In the event persons who claimed to be plain clothes police who come to your house:
1. Do not let him in because they do not have the authority to do so.
2. Lodge a report at the nearest police station.
