patron, the vast majority of CDSes were naked, according to my sources. maybe more than 80%.

why would the banks sell that kind of risky stuff? so the swindler employees could monetize shareholder leveraged risk - they got commissions from selling the toxic CDOs and more commissions from selling the toxic CDSes - and the shareholders took all the risk as they extracted massive profits from the system.

taken from an internal Wall Street email in December 2006...
