Buffett `Thought to Be' in AIG Talks, Insurance Insider Says

By Andrew Frye

Sept. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Billionaire investor Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. ``is thought to be in talks'' with American International Group Inc. about a possible investment, the Insurance Insider reported, citing unidentified sources.

AIG's talks with potential investors, including buyout firms, are ``advanced,'' the publication said.

Nicholas Ashooh, a spokesman for New York-based AIG, had no immediate comment. Jackie Wilson, a spokeswoman for Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire, didn't immediately return a message seeking comment.
