Synopsis
SUMMARY: This is a true story of personal greed and downfall, corporate greed fueled with economic and social treachery, shareholder waste and discrimination at AIG, 70 Pine Street in the heart of the financial district. This address is known as the AIG Tower, hence the title Tower of Thieves. The central character is a man with a wife, a family, who has cheated his way to the top by doing good. He is responsible for leading a 60 billion dollar organization with over 40,000 employees worldwide at one of the largest companies in the world. What he sees and what he does validates what unchecked power on Wall Street will do to a man and what it has done to an entire company and country. The events at AIG lead right to the CEO and Senior Vice Chairman and how our guy fights an entire corrupt organization and how he became one of those he despised., This is a true story of personal greed and downfall, corporate greed fuelled with economic and social treachery, shareholder waste and discrimination at AIG, 70 Pine Street in the heart of the financial district. This address is know as the AIG Tower, hence the working title -- TOWER OF THIEVES -- the central character is a man with a wife, a family, who has cheated his way to the top BY DOING GOOD. He is responsible for leading a 60 billion dollar organisation with over 40,000 employees world-wide at one of the largest companies in the world. What he sees and what he does validates what unchecked power on Wall Street will do to a man and what it has done to an entire company and country. The events at AIG lead right to the CEO and Senior Vice Chairman and how our guy fights an entire corrupt organisation and how he became one of those he despised. "We found each other pretty easily -- he recognised me from a photo that had appeared in the local paper about the book I was writing about Bear Stearns -- and he asked if we could go 'somewhere more private' to talk. Part of me thought this was ridiculous. A big part of me, in fact. All this cloak-and-dagger nonsense seemed out of place in early summer Nantucket, Massachusetts, of all places. But there was some little sliver inside that told me this could be good. So I went along with it. We went to a park, sat down and, once we had gotten through the formalities about how the Bear book was going, we got down to business. 'I should tell you that I'm going to federal prison at the end of the year', he began. "In my admittedly limited experience with such introductions, I have to say that any time a conversation starts with someone's announcing their impending sentencing date, fasten your seatbelt, because the story that follows is usually related to the sentencing date itself and is also usually pretty interesting. I took notes as John rolled out his story, the same story you're about to read here. After about five minutes, though, I realised I was no longer writing. I was just listening in disbelief to what he was telling me. Half an hour later, I was back at my computer, writing the last couple of chapters of "Bear Trap", already looking ahead to what we were calling 'the AIG book'. This meeting took place long before AIG was the poster child for corporate greed and chutzpah. For that matter, this was before a lot of people had ever even heard of AIG, and even fewer people knew what they did as a corporation". This is a story of what our taxpayer dollars have purchased., This is a true story of personal greed and downfall, corporate greed fueled with econoimic and social treachery, shareholder waste and discrimination at AIG, 70 Pine Street in the heart of the financial district. This address is known as the AIG Tower, hence the title Tower of Thieves. The central character is a man with a wife, a family, who has cheated his way to the top by doing good.
