Greenberg's company, Starr International Co, also filed a *lawsuit against
the Federal Reserve Bank* of New York, *whose president at the time of the
takeover was* *Timothy Geithner*, *now U.S. Treasury Secretary.*

Once AIG's largest shareholder, Starr said the government took a roughly 80
percent stake in AIG and charged an "punitive" 14.5 percent on federal
loans without seeking a shareholder vote, hoping to provide a *"backdoor
bailout"* for AIG trading partners such as *Goldman Sachs Group* Inc.

It *said the bailouts that began on September 16, 2008, violated
shareholders' rights to due process and equal protection, and a Fifth
Amendment ban against taking private property for public use without just
compensation, known as the "takings clause."*
