BBC.Insurance giant AIG has reported a loss of $61.7bn (£43bn) in the final three months of 2008 - the largest quarterly loss in US corporate history.
And the firm will receive an extra $30bn from the US government as part of a revamped rescue package.
The new measures will also effectively cut the interest payments the insurer must pay to the Federal Reserve.
AIG has already received $150bn in financial support - the biggest bail-out by far of any US company.
Really and truly boggles the mind. How to you wave goodbye to $61bn in 3 months???
Although I realise they're in different industries, these guys make RBS look good
