I may be wrong in my reading here (and yes, this is another of the "gastropod was bored, so he read some pages on the FedRes or FDIC website" series)...
If I understand this correctly...the FDIC pushed out some of the "assets" they have accrued from shutting down banks...this was the stuff that wasn't sold to the "acquiring" bank...$1.6 billion of it...and they got $0.46 on the dollar for $1.4 billion of it...they got $0.883 on $0.4 billion of it....what does this say about the crap that has been pawned off on the Federal Reserve by the TBTF banks? What is in the $1.+ trillion that the Fed has in Mortgage Backed Securities???
Please, if I am wrong in my understanding here - please correct me!
Here are the links (a little reading required)...
This page shows the division of the $1.8 billion...

This page shows the "overcollateralization" ...
http://www.fdic.gov/news/news/press/2010/pr10050a.html
Oh, and don't forget to note that this CRAP is now backed with the full faith and credit of the US...the links say so
Please read the previous line to mean: American taxpayers were put at gunpoint to benefit some "investment" bankers!
