Lehman was technically not regulated and AIG was because it was regulated as an insurance company...there were many inconsistencies that will be debated for many years...also, AIG was placed into conservatorship...former employees of Lehman now work for Barclay's and are probably better off bonus wise than anyone at AIG for years to come.
