That Was Quick

Wonder if there's a real story here.

May 21 (Bloomberg) -- American International Group Inc. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Edward Liddy told the board he plans to step down once the directors replace him.

Liddy recommended the two roles be split, the insurer said today in a statement. Liddy, 63, was appointed in September by the government after the company agreed to turn over a majority stake in exchange for a federal bailout.
