Fitzpatrick, the former president of the AIG Global Real Estate Investment Corp. unit, claims that his then-employer would not pay him during the 2008 economic crisis. The insurer\u2019s refusal to pay occurred not long after the US government said yes to the first part of what would turn into a $182 billion bailout.<\/p>\n<p>Fitzpatrick, who worked for American Insurance Group for 22 years, said that the company breached agreements it had with him and entities under his control. He claims the agreements entitled him to a share of profits made on the insurer\u2019s real estate investments but that on October 2008 they stopped paying him and others who were entitled to profit distributions. Fitzpatrick then quit.<\/p>\n<p>Fitzpatrick sued in 2009, claiming that the company owed him $274 million and that he wanted interest and punitive damages, which is right around the time that the insurer was trying to get past public disapproval over $165 million in bonuses that were paid to employees in the AIG Financial Products unit. That is the group that handled the complex financial instruments that led to its huge losses.<\/p>\n<p>AIG denied wrongdoing and said that Fitzpatrick was paid what he was owed. The insurer contended that Fitzpatrick actually was fired and that he stole data that was confidential and belonged to the company.<\/p>\n<p>In other AIG-related news, a district court judge just threw out a shareholder lawsuit accusing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investorlawyers.com\/bank-of-america-background-information.html\">Bank of America (BAC) <\/a>of not telling them that the insurer was planning to sue the bank with a $10 billion fraud lawsuit.
