Maurice “Hank” Greenberg, the former CEO of American International Group, asked New York’s highest court to clear his name and dismiss what remains of an 8-year-old lawsuit over an AIG accounting scandal.

The argument yesterday before the Court of Appeals in Albany came after New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said that while he wants to hold Greenberg personally liable, he no longer seeks money damages. He wants to bar Greenberg, 88, from working in the securities industry or serving as an officer or director of a public company.
