AIG chief executive Robert Benmosche has told Reuters that he is "pretty comfortable" that the company will be able to repay its obligations under the federal bailout. With recent agreements to sell life assurance units AIA to Prudential of the UK and American Life Insurance Co to MetLife of the US, AIG has made great strides toward repaying its $90bn in obligations. "The most important thing is to raise enough money so that we can pay back the Federal Reserve", Mr Benmosche said. He also told the New York Times that the group does "not see any buyers on the horizon" for aircraft leasing unit International Lease Finance Corp. "Our goal right now is to first stabilize the operation". Meanwhile, a California court has thrown out a lawsuit in which financial planner Linda Harris claimed she and clients were deceived by AIG about the company's financial strength in 2008 and were unable to determine whether annuity investments were secure. The lawsuit sought to bar AIG from moving assets out of state until an independent audit determined that such a move was safe.
