``We still don't know exactly why AIG agreed to the side deal with Greenberg and we probably won't ever get a direct answer now that AIG is out of the case. (AIG's board voted Wednesday to stay out of Starr's Fifth Amendment "takings" case and Starr lawyer David Boies of Boies, Schiller & Flexner subsequently said Greenberg won't sue the board for breach of duty.) But a filing Friday by AIG shows that the insurer has its own megabucks dispute under way with the Federal Reserve. That could be one of the reasons AIG didn't help the government defend against Starr's suits -- and, more importantly, at this point, it could affect AIG's $10 billion claims against Bank of America, as well as BofA's proposed $8.5 billion breach-of-contract settlement with holders of Countrywide mortgage-backed securities.''
