ORDER MODIFYING OPINION
AND DENYING PETITION FOR
REHEARING
[NO CHANGE IN JUDGMENT] THE COURT:
It is ordered that the opinion filed herein on November 9, 2011, be modified as follows:
On page 4, the second line, after the sentence ending "and insurance companies," add as footnote the following footnote:
The appellants filed a petition for rehearing that argued, inter alia, that our opinion contains a major misstatement of fact because AIG's 2008 losses exceeded $99 billion rather than $99 million. There is no misstatement of fact. The appellants' two complaints stated: "In just one year, 2008, AIG's net income losses were $99,289,000 or $7,215,813 more than AIG's average net income for the preceding 18 years." The numerical representation of a billion is 1,000,000,000. In other words, a billion has 10 digits. The figure in the appellant's complaint, $99,289,000, only has eight digits. Any fault with respect to this number belongs to the appellants. In any event, even if the appellants had alleged that AIG's losses exceeded $99 billion, nothing would change in our analysis.
There is no change in the judgment.
Appellants' petition for rehearing is denied.
