On whether outgoing Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will be forced to testify in the AIG lawsuit:
“Ben Bernanke, the former Fed Chair who was intimately involved in the bailout of American International Group Inc (NYSE:AIG), from what we hear, we are getting this from Hank Greenberg’s attorneys, he will be giving testimony in this case….when he gives testimony is unclear.
