Since March 2, embattled insurer AIG has seen its stock rise 200 percent.

While Main Street and Washington lawmakers lambasted CEO Ed Liddy for signing off on $165 million in bonuses to its troubled Financial Products unit, the shares rose 152 percent last week despite a 22 percent plunge on Friday.

AIG opened the month at 42 cents a share. Friday it closed at $1.26, down 36 cents in NYSE trading.
