Its going to be a bloodbath for hedge funds as redemtions are running at record levels. Clients are withdrawing cash at unprecedented levels. A bloodbath which begins today as yesterday was the last day for clients to file withdrawals for the last qtr.

yup, this deal does not make sense. Citi have been screwed on this deal. The Fed guaranteed JPM would not bear any loss from taking over Bear Stearns. Citi should have walked away without the same guarantee.

They're going to regret making that statement as they get smashed down by the shorters.
