They surprised their own with that 90 bb of junk they just admitted to. I 'm hearing big exodus over the weekend. Since nobody is hiring, this would be the cream of the crop who can bring an established revenue stream with them (my opinion).
MBI is being hunted by Dinallo because NY believes, even with 17BB , that subprime exposure will eat them up. Therefore, it is possible that Dinallo will force MBI to split those businesses so to protect Muni markets.
If that is the case, that exposure will chew at UBS like cancer. What I heard was, the firm thought they could unload this, and now, unable to sell it, have to swallow it.
Another question, these guys do everything in lockstep, who's next in the industry to fess up?
