M2,

In 1998 Brooksley Born head of CFTC argued for the regulation of SWAPS - Rubin & Greenspan opposed regulation.


I'm curious, does having a clearing house for these kinds of things constitute regulation? I wouldn't think so, yet there was none, which is really gumming up the works since many don't know who owes them money - or so I've heard.

Can anyone in the know add anything to what potential havoc exists simply because there is no clearing house for these instruments?
