That looks like a typo there, 600 Trillion notional is the total
size of OTC derivative markets, of which CDS is not the largest part.
That said, I am not sure Markopolos or the author of that
article knows the distinction between various types of
bilaterial contracts.

Otherwise he gets the broad picture quite right. I'm sure
the Fed, the Sec, the CFTC, the Treasury are well aware
of the existence of these markets, their potential
to blow up, their previous blow ups, and the way to fix them
with duct tape (printalot).

No need to blow a whistle there. -g-
