American International Group (AIG) could become the third major victim of the credit crisis in a week as it struggles to source additional capital to stay afloat.

According to Bloomberg, the insurer is seeking a loan of at least $US75 billion ($A94 billion) through Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase & Co, after the Federal Reserve declined to provide it with funding.

AIG’s share price fell 61 per cent yesterday to $US4.76, ($A5.95) – a fall of 92 per cent for the year.
