AIG: Is the risk systemic?

AIG may not be a going concern regardless of what the government does. If it cannot generate new business then the bail out will partially go to fund future operating losses. Once its politically connected trading partners are made whole will the government let AIG collapse? If a bunch of inner city kids can figure it out then I know adults can.
