The lawsuit alleges that the 35 linked MSG companies paid "millions of dollars in premiums," but "instead of honoring their obligations, the insurers have paid nothing for the MSG Insureds' losses."
A New York state appeals court is allowing the New York Botanical Garden to go forward with a business-interruption loss suit against an insurer that refused to pay for losses due to COVID-19 shutdowns.
Questions in the AIG fraud trial on Sept. 28 for Hank Greenberg, former CEO of AIG, focused on what he knew about an alleged sham transaction and when he knew it.
A lawyer for the New York AG's Office peppered Maurice 'Hank' Greenberg with hours of questions on Tuesday, attempting to show he had played an intense, 'hands on' role in trying to control losses from a failing auto-warranty insurance segment at AIG.
