Hank Greenberg was pushed out of AIG by the board, a company he built into the financial powerhouse that it was, because he objected to insuring the CDOs. The new management went into the business whole hog.

Hank isn’t going away quietly.

Of course revisionism is in full swing these days and per the meme it's Greenberg who gets the blame for pushing those bad bad CDO instruments down AIG's throat.
