Chicago-based Aon Corp., the world’s No. 2 insurance broker, said it is negotiating with lenders to access about $890 million in credit should Spitzer choose the company as his next target, according to Bloomberg News and the Associated Press.

Aon CEO Patrick Ryan said an internal investigation has not yet discovered any activity similar to the bid-rigging found at Marsh.
