Comedian lost a few million after being told AIG was safe
Comedian Frank Skinner told BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs he lost “a few million” after investing in AIG just before it collapsed, the Telegraph reports.
“The first night I thought I had lost it all, I went home and I said to my girlfriend, 'look, a bit of bad news, I think I might be broke' and she said, 'You know we'll be all right. You can still get work. You can go back and do the clubs, we can move to a smaller place.'
"And we actually practically dealt with it quite well. I never really had the big panic about it which I find now very reassuring."
