Doesn't this deal basically amount to the orderly liquidation of AIG?

It would appear so. The government isn't an investment fund, so I am curious as to what their exit strategy is for this "investment". I'm sure they'll come out OK. I wonder where their profit (assuming there is a profit) will actually go.
