That's certainly what this 9/30/08 Marketwatch story suggests - http://www.marketwatch.com/News/Sto...x?guid={41AA4AE4-1E4F-4B1B-A46B-8B73ACC4D209} "Officials at Allianz and TD Ameritrade did not return telephone calls seeking comment." "And some support actions to save a fund's share price may only have been mentioned on the SEC's Web site, in a regulatory filing or a footnote in the funds' annual and semi-annual reports released months later, Crane said. This maintained the notion that money markets were safe investments." "The only way you'd tell [there had been a problem] is that you'd hear a giant sucking sound of assets leaving the fund," Crane added.
