BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

AIG to pay $35M fine: New York insurance regulator

(Reuters) - Insurer American International Group Inc. will pay a $35 million penalty for violations related to former subsidiaries that solicited insurance business in New York without a license, the New York State Department of Financial Services said on Friday.

The department said in a statement that the former AIG units had also misrepresented those activities to regulators.

The dispute centered on American Life Insurance Co., better known as ALICO, and another former AIG unit known as DelAm. MetLife Inc., another insurer, bought both units from AIG in 2010.

In March, MetLife paid a $50 million fine to the department and $10 million to the Manhattan District Attorney's office because of the subsidiaries' activities.

In early April, AIG sued New York regulators to try to force them off enforcement proceedings over ALICO's activities.

As part of Friday's announcement, AIG will withdraw that suit, according to a consent order.
