AIG's brand name was damaged, it will affect its core business - life insurance. However, it's banking and credit card business should have much less impact. Given the purchased price is less than 1.0 book value, i think this is a good deal.
It will also help China Construction Bank to learn how international x-giant to run credit card business.
However, it is unclear to know how much is the bad debt attached with its assets.
No matter what, US$70M is too immaterial even if it have an over-expected debt, should not create significant impact to the bottom line.
