NU Online News Service, May, 13, 4:21 p.m. EDT--A spokesperson for Maurice Greenberg, the ousted boss of American International Group, said movers yesterday finished retrieving a number of personal effects his company had been keeping from him.
"We received most of Mr. Greenberg's belongings. We are still awaiting his personal art collection," said Howard Opinsky.
The art in question involves items owned by CV Starr, an insurance underwriter, and Starr International Co., two firms with links to AIG which are controlled by Mr. Greenberg.
Mr. Opinsky said the disputed material at AIG's Pine Street location in New York includes an oil painting by the impressionist master Vincent Van Gogh.
Mr. Greenberg had threatened to sue the company he headed as CEO and chairman for more than three decades. AIG had been keeping the materials after Mr. Greenberg left his post amidst a variety of investigations into company activity by various agencies.
Mr. Greenberg, according to his attorney, David Boies, refused to answer questions from the Securities and Exchange Commission and New York Attorney General Office about AIG accounting maneuvers because he was not given time to prepare.
