I am starting to have serious doubts whether New Yorks crusading attorney general, Eliot Spitzer, will ever lay a glove on Maurice Greenberg.


This week, Mr. Spitzers office announced that a number of charges were being dropped (click here for the full story) in the civil case against AIGs former chairman and CEO. (Did you ever notice that whenever there is good news, Mr. Spitzer announces it himself, while it is his Office that speaks when the news aint so good?)

Both sides were spinning heavily, with Mr. Greenbergs legal team hinting that the game was now pretty much over, while Mr. Spitzers office insisted that the core of our case remains. They are probably both right, to a point.
