Charlie Rose - Hank Greenberg

[markuslebt]

hank greenberg needs a moneybag with 30 silver shekels.

[borneous]

This man was awarded the bronze star in korea and has donated over 2 billion dollars to disease research for things like cancer. and other ailments.

[MrWestdene1972]

@borneous and he's also a nazi war criminal that was given a new identity and a new job after the war. He is a phony.

[Muzzy337]

Now this fossil has the gall to sue the govt for $25 billion dollars. You know- the same one that bailed out too big to fail. This country is a hopeless sewer. Greed has ruined America. I hope this scumbag burns in hell.

[crbower]

Did I read this man just sold AIG shares worth $278m ? So far for very little tax? How's this man got any money at all ?

[MrHendiesel]

He is not a Jew. He is German, in fact he was involved with project paper clip. For those who dont know, google it. He is only posing as a Jew to mar their credibility..

[Andreas748]

Hank Greenberg said to Erin Burnett....."AIG is a national treasure. America can't let AIG fail".  Her earnest response was to laugh in his face at that comment

[Andreas748]

why should have AIG been bailed out? They stupidly insured tens of billions of bad, worthless mortgage backed securities. They were duped by the likes of Goldman Saks and didn't even scrutinize what they were insuring. They deserved to fail.

[BernardProfitendieu]

what a pathetic, self-absorbed loser!

[sla4life87]

that guy is a lying kike.

[jeremyraybrown]

What a jerk! He says he can raise capital, lmao! Raise capital on what?!?! Phantom money backed by insanely overpriced securities. This guy is satan. If he owns a bunch of stock in a crappy company then that isn't my fault! He made a bad investment decision. He took a risk. The government bailed out AIG and let this guy keep his riches. How nice!!! I get sick to my stomach watching this crap!

[stevo420king]

the smartest insurance crook in the world

[Flynnsox]

The media should refer to this clown as Maurice from now on. Hank Greenberg was a lot better man than this poseur.

[thechangeling613]

After his grandchildren get back from temple, they run out into the stree to, unsuccessfully, retrieve the family dog from an oncoming car. Suddenly a garbage truck pulls out into the street, crippling all of them and leaving them severely brain damaged, but alive. A close family relative who has Aids repeatedly sodomizes them while the family is at some vacation home they used embezzled money to purchase. Then he gets back in the oven.

[Guitarschmoozer]

Hank Greenberg: Just another crook.

[DigsDeeper]

There's an age-old saying about jews that sums up everything regarding all of the money-grabbers such as the Madoff family, Lou Pearlman, Reed Slatkin, Hank Greenberg, Marc Rich and countless other jews.

"When they are speaking, they are lying. When they are silent, they are stealing."

[vivrospetjon]

I find it hard to believe that Greenberg, this longtime Chairman & CEO along with his 2 sons are oh so innocent with this snow balling catastrophe. He held that office for nearly 30 years and was forced to resign. That speaks volumes. WHO THE HELL WOULD WANT OR VALUE HIS FUCKIN ADVICE?

[pigopotamus]

Anyone who had any vision

[vivrospetjon]

Obviously you did not lose money on your AIG 401K. Then of course, you would not have a clue to. WHAT VISION but monopoly,corruption and greed.

[Guitarschmoozer]

They should lock this buttwipe up soley because he's such an UGLY looking motherf*cker!

[nadsab1]

This scum sucking turd was chair of the New York Fed. Madoff was chair of NASDAQ. It's clear that even the leadership of wallstreet are scum sucking criminals. Thow them all in jail where they belong. This bullshit interview with Charlie Rose is just a stunt to divert attention away from his criminal activities.

[nadsab1]

Now that madoff is in jail, they need to start proceedings against this scum sucking maggot and throw this bastard in jail too.

[jflash214]

scumbag with bad judgement

his shit worked in a bull market, came crashing down in a bear. Why would an insurance co buy up subprime note, with zero reward for the riduculous risk.

[nadsab1]

The answer is simple. It is because the man you see above is a typical stupid, greedy scum sucking wall street maggot, who thinks everyone else including those who he ripped off, are stupid. Wall street is pretty simple, it's a giant casino, which appeals to the very base instincts of greed and stupidity, dressed up as if it is a jewel. You can't take a turd and disguise it as a diamond and keep up the illusion for very long.

[nadsab1]

Most of this wall street Depression and crashed economy has been caused by a turf war between maybe 100 to 200 powerful people/families in New York City. Were it not for this dusgusting turf war about stacks of money and financials regulation (and lack thereof) for about maybe 200 powerful billionaires and multi multi millionaires and lawmakers and regulators, in the financial and governmental centers of the east coast, we would not have a depression or even a recession going on right now.

[nadsab1]

Its scum buckets similar to the likes of Greenberg above & many others like him, who have wreaked so much havoc upon middle class lives.  We should take these smeg sucking scum rats, load them all on some broken down cruise ship, take them to a deserted island somewhere in the pacific so that they may all duke it out, hopefully end up strangling the shit out of each other so the rest of the real world can live in peace, far away from their corrosive effect on society. They are all sociopaths.

[nadsab1]

It's terrrible that Hank will have to live in just two or three mansions world wide and will have to sell a private jet or two just to make ends meet. He may even have to resort to flying first class how terrible for him. How can a billionaire survive with only one Yacht?

[kingdavidzora]

nadsab1 ur killin' me brother :) that's hillarious!!! LOL

[nadsab1]

Why thank you kingdavidzora!

[nadsab1]

Maybe poor little Hank Greenberg who now only has 100 million dollars to his name due to his stupidity can borrow a billion or two from Bill Gates. After all Gates takes on charity work giving money to Africa and schools. I'm sure that Mr. Gates would not want a fellow billionaire have to live on a measly 100 million for the rest of his retirement. I think that charity work is very important we need to bail out our countries billionaires so that the middle class can once again sleep at night.

[nadsab1]

I think each and every US citizen should take up a collection for this poor man. Everyone kick in - If each and every citizen will just kick in about ten bucks each, then this man can get his 2.5 billion fortune back. We will all be able to rest easier, knowing that we provided welfare so that this former billionaire will be a billionaire again and not have to live on a measly 100 million dollars. I dont know how Americans can sleep at night knowing that this man has to live on 100 million.

[nadsab1]

They should put him on the reality show "The Biggest Loser". That would be a big laugh. Boo Hoo Hoo, Poor little Greenberg here is now in the poorhouse with a lowly 100 million dollars. Let's set up a welfare fund for him so his greedy family members won't lose any money in the will when he croaks in a few years. I feel so very sorry for this poor billionaire now a mere 100 millionaire. He truly is worthless let's all have a pity party for him in the homeless shelter. Boo hoo hoo to Frank.

[nadsab1]

You know, when I first saw the video of this poor billionaire who now only has about 100 million left to his name, I cried. I feel so sorry for this man, it must be terrible to have to survive on only 100 million dollars. Even though I am un employed, I can truly understand why he needs 2 billion so that he can buy food and clothes and a decent home in which to live. I will gladly give every penny I have to keep this billionaire in the kind of lifestyle he truly deserves.

[nadsab1]

We cant have US billionaires going broke just because of wall street now can we? How will America survive if Billionaires now have to live on a measly hundred million dollars or so? It's just TERRIBLE. I'll do everything I can as an en employed taxpayer to make sure that these billionaires will be able to maintain their half dozen mansion and three or four yacht lifestyles. I mean, how will they ever be able to stock their wine cellars and jet set, if they have to live on a hundred mil?

[nadsab1]

I would like to know where are the rocks that these wall street snakes, leeches and rats slither out from under of...

[nadsab1]

My mistake I apologize about what I said about Hank Greenberg. I said he was suing US taxpayers for 70 million. He is not. He is suing American Taxpayers for 2.07 BILLION. THE 70 mil was just the tax he paid. He lost 2 billion because he was too stupid to sell when the stock was tanking and now he wants taxpayers to pay him TWO BILLION into his personal bank account. I apologize, he is a far worse scum sucking maggot than I could have ever imagined.

[Wizard364]

Jewish bankers are destroying the American economy as we speak.

[nadsab1]

Boo hoo hoo. Another multi millionaire lost money too bad. The middle class has lost their livelihoods, homes, jobs, can't buy food and THIS ARSEHOLE EX AIG CEO has the GALL, to sue a (now) US taxpayer supported insurance company for 70 million dollars because he wants his investment back. SO he wants US taxpayers to pay him back all the money he lost in the stock of the company he founded and retired from years ago. I vote no for this maggot slime bag greedy prick.

[nadsab1]

He still lives a far more comfortable lifestyle than 99.999 percent of the US population. The obscene greed of these slimy leeches amazes me.

[nadsab1]

Greenberg is a JERK. Shame on him. He just sued AIG today and now he wants a stack of AIG cash 70 million, after all that taxpayer money has been put in to that company and he wants to stick taxpayers whit the bill. EVERYONE lost money. Why should he get any when most others wont? It's not fair. This man is a typical, greedy, slime bag wall street scum bucket who only cares about money with all the people ripped off by mad off lost their life savings what a frigging maggot Greenberg is.

[jimbanderson4]

Hank built a great company and many people had great jobs, a good retirement package and investors gained on Hanks foundation at AIG. I worked there for 10 years and enjoyed the challenge, but when Hank left so did the culture he founded. I doubt AIG will ever be able to replicate what he created. Based on many of the comments here looks like success is socially punished and unaccepable rather than embraced.

[nadsab1]

Agreed. Any scum sucking leech who largely contributes to the destruction of the US economy gets no embrace from me.

[forjusticethnks]

Charlie Rose will not ask the real questions that we wish to know, his career is based on being a shill for the corporate elite.

Hank Greenberg doesn't give a shit if You lose all You have; stop paying your income tax and see what happens when these bastards don't get their free money.

[nadsab1]

Yes i agree. Why pay income taxes when Bernanke emails it all to these rat fink billionaires personal bank accounts?

[jnco66us]

Is there any way we can find out where this guy and his family lives, I want to thank them personally

[rutabayga]

Don't hold a mirror or silver crucifix up in front of this guy.

[pedalbin]

At the end there where Hank mentions "one of the two gentlemen you just described" if he means David Rockefeller (JP Morgan) or Evelyn Rothschild (runs Goldmans behind the scenes - plus many, many others)? They finally got there superiority over Greenberg and drove him through the ground. I can see he is seething ...

[ReliableInsider]

Government by the People is the best idea anyone ever had. Government by corporations is the worst.

But don't ask corporations for their opinion on the matter or their answer will be all too predictable.

Corporations have run the federal government like a business: gambling, losing everything, and then bailing out in parachutes made of gold, bequeathing the wreckage to you and me.

[garyowen4ever]

put THIS BUM IN JAIL FOR LIFE.

[th31ncubu5]

The current U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson was Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Goldman Sachs since the firms initial public offering in 1999. A former big banker bailing out fellow big bankers with our money folks. The Fed is creating this money out of thin air and loaning it to the Treasury Department (at interest of course) so we can loan it to those that run AIG and their ilk (at interest of course)...see where this is going? This needs to be stopped. Where is Congress?

[KnownWorld]

"I've lost my entire net worth, literally my entire net worth," Greenberg said. "I worked 40 years building the greatest insurance company in history, one that everyone in the world envied who was in this industry."

Greenberg, who privately or through the companies he runs still owns a private jet, an office on Park Avenue and homes in New York City and Brewster, N.Y., likely lost 95 percent of his total assets, or somewhere in the neighborhood of $3 billion, analysts say.

[SAM51701999]

He's a crook last I knew ... how much did AIG pay out due to BID RIGGING ??? w/his son over at Marsh ???

[addaadollah]

I wonder, could I be looking at a white collar criminal? Nahh, he's way to smart for that. He got out of "The Business" years ago!

[ReliableInsider]

How can we possibly trust the Federal Reserve not to be putting the interests of ITS OWN MEMBERS ahead of the interests of the American People and the nation . . .

IF IT HAS MEMBERS LIKE THIS?

[ReliableInsider]

My God! He's telling the truth!

Maurice ("Hank") Greenberg, a major underwriter of the Heritage Foundation think tank, former Chairman and CEO of AIG (one of the biggest insurance companies in the world), a member of George W. Bush's $100,000 Club for his campaign contributions, . . .

was once CHAIRMAN of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York!

The Fed is loaning $85 BILLION with a 'B' to a company that was run before (and that may be run in the future) by ONE OF ITS OWN CHAIRMEN.

[jprithvi]

This is not the first time the government screwed over hank greenberg.

[drohegda]

i seen this show on tv all i wanted charlie rose to ask mr. greenberg if he thought people involved in this massive fraud should be prosecuted and jailed from the top down no matter how many trials or years it takes. to set an example for future people of greed!!!

[nakedBison69]

why is hank greenberg talking about the economy? i thought he was a great baseball player for the Detroit Tigers

[oneofthemdeals]

this is what happens when Firms get Greedy.

borrowing money & putting it @ RISK to which theyve lost

the new capital in the world is now Charlotte, NC

oh brother

[yangyin09u]

Now that the doors are swinging open so many of these emperor's closets have no clothing in them. They're full of tulips that were advertised as daisies instead.

Time to grow a little garden in the yard if you've still got one.

[scientistwriter]

he just lost 6 billion

[vfgzhejdtfyguhj]

This is one of "The Good Ole Boys" getting his job out-sourced.

BAH HA HA HA HA....

pOETIC JUSTICE

[greywolf4744]

now that the gov did take an 80% share if aig we will see the ripples.

[thisismyfunnyname]

And I thought it was going to be an old interview with a baseball player.

[nakedBison69]

me too! it is hank greenberg, after all.  why is he talking about business rather than hitting a baseball?

[ubuibiok]

Go to Jail, go directly to Jail and collect no more money!
