    Perhaps. Again, noted author and whistleblower Al Martin reports that he is. And, that after creating the company, Hank let it go independent. Also, in an exhaustive web search for “who founded Greenberg Traurig” the best I could get was Mel Greenberg in 1967. When I clicked on Mel Greenberg (try it), I got a blank. Yet 1967-68 was about the time Maurice Greenberg took over AIG. So an endeavor like that would be possible. Plus there was a Colombian branch of the Greenberg family that immigrated to southern Miami in the 1980s. They got into real estate big time, with Hank insuring their properties at cut rates.
    
    Also, Greenberg Traurig is the fourth largest lawyering firm in America, eighth largest in the world. Yet no one wants to post a bio and take a bow for founding it in 1967? “Ace” Greenberg certainly wants to take a bow for his achievements over at Bear Stearns."
