Description: In this special update on Speaking of Settlements, Mark Wahlstrom provides a timely update on the AIG buy out and financial crisis. It may seem like over kill to be discussing AIG to such a degree, but word is filtering out that unscrupulous factoring firms, financial ad visors and insurance agents are attempting to scare and intimidate people into needlessly and foolishly with drawing money from their AIG annuity and life insurance contracts. The risk to the life companies at this point is minimal, the bail out is in place and the company is on a fast track plan to sell and consolidate assets to strengthen the core of the company going forward. While AIG will likely never be the dominant force it once was in the insurance and settlement market, neither is it going to be a shell or a risk to policyholders. Listen to this special report for the truth and information on AIG.
