The meaning of 'and worse'
the meaning of 'and worse'
The paragraph below comes from Justice by Michael Sandel.
https://books.google.co.kr/books?id=SKEeHVwT5UMC&pg=PA15&dq=%22President+Obama+stated+that+A.I.G.+%E2%80%9Cfinds+itself+in+financial+distress+due%22&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=%22President%20Obama%20stated%20that%20A.I.G.%20%E2%80%9Cfinds%20itself%20in%20financial%20distress%20due%22&f=false
Senator Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) said that A.I.G.’s behavior “smacks of greed, arrogance, and worse.” President Obama stated that A.I.G. “finds itself in financial distress due to recklessness and greed.”
Can you tell me the meaning of the underlined 'and worse'?
I tried several dictionaries but fail to get the idea of the phrase.
And if you can, can you present just one example sentence?
Thanks a million.
