Reuters exclusive on Ex-AIG Executive's Return to U.S. to face probes

Reuters was alone in reporting on Sept. 28 that Joseph Cassano, the former AIG executive at the center of the unit that triggered the meltdown of the insurer, had returned to the U.S. from the U.K. to face a series of investigations by the FBI and other agencies. The story included exclusive comments from Cassano’s lawyer, from the head of the UK’s Serious Fraud Office and from a source with direct knowledge of the U.S. investigation. Reuters reported that the probe was making progress but that it was very difficult and complex. The story included a description of Cassano’s home in Westport, Connecticut following a visit by a reporter, and exclusive material from record searches on Cassano.
