 Sullivan oversaw the decline of AIG from a AAA rated company to incipient bankruptcy, a fate avoided by a federal bailout and his subsequent sacking.Sullivan's severance package payments were withheld by AIG after the then Attorney General of New York, Andrew Cuomo raised issues.According to USA Today, "AIG CEO Martin Sullivan received $25.4 million in non severance related compensation between 2005 and 2007, including $322,000 for private use of corporate aircraft, $153,000 for car and parking, $160,000 for home security and $41,000 for financial planning."
