Bernstein Litowitz Berger & Grossman filed a class-action lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, saying AIG filed "false and misleading" news releases and financial statements.

In February, AIG's accounted determined the company was not keeping accurate track of the value of a book of contracts called credit default swaps.
