AIG have called in their lawyers to draw up bankrupcy papers, hired law firm Weil Gotshal to get their papers ready for publication. They could file for bankrpucy as soon as tomorrow morning unless there is a bail out.

that's the least of their issues. They're the largest healthcare cover in the US, as well as fire,vehicle,life ... all kinds of insurance.

So I would get some protection if the government bailed them out.

If a government bailout is worked out, sources told , shareholders would get nothing, bondholders next to nothing and policyholders at least some protection.
