It it works it's good. If it doesn't, is more good money poured down the hoss hole after bad.

The AIG facility has a 24-month term. Interest will accrue on the outstanding balance at a rate of three-month Libor plus 850 basis points. AIG will be permitted to draw up to $85 billion under the facility.

I'm sure AIG will be doing everything they can to pay back this loan sooner rather than later.
