New Leadership won't disappear the trillions in derivatives that are due. They need to net everything, suspend or destroy the rest.
I wonder what would happen if they just declared "all CDS's null and void"... All obligations, cancelled. ??
We've seen every other type of chicanery and largess, so far. So i dont see why not. I don't know how much the bailout and Fed actions are even legal, so much is happening. Not that a court would dispute in these conditions. But yea, its the best chance they've got to avert what could be a real honest-to-God meltdown. I'm not sure why they haven't done so already There's contractual consideration - funds and insurance buyers - who sue for breach. Dunno, Man.
