Insurance giant AIG facing possible breakup

Nearly six months after American International Group Inc. got its first massive bailout from the government, it''s still stumbling.

The big insurer keeps losing money and is unable to sell some of its biggest assets. Some Wall Street analysts have stopped tracking it. And it appears on the verge of getting another helping hand from Washington.

Like Citigroup Inc., which on Friday received another round of federal support, AIG is considered too big and too important to fail.

I’m curious to know its impact on the insurance industry if the government decides to let AIG drown. I understand the idea that AIG is too important to lose, but since the giant isn’t showing any sign of improvement, how long the government is going to support it with funds.
