A quadrillion dollars is about what I have calculated based on what I have read for the CDS total. Who’s gonna pay that when the market sinks?

Bernanke will be happy to write a check for it.

I don’t know if the FASB has another rabbit they can pull out their hat. IIRC, that’s what prevented the biggest banks from going under. If they had to mark those to market, it would be game over.

At some point the masses may pick up on the fact that those banks have far greater problems than commonly known.
