You end up with $62 trillion of CDS's securing over $500 trillion of what the buyers thought were solid derivative investments, but which actually seems to be smoke.

The real question is, how do you unwind the $62 Trillion in CDSs, that are bigger than the capitalization of the entire US stock market????

It's just fuking amazing that these thing have only existed for 5+ years or something and they are bigger than the entire US stock market!

Hello, how the fuk did this happen????
