We'll have interest rates swaps blowups at Bank of America, Citi, and JPM, 500 Trillion notional worth (as compared to 60 Trillion notional CDS)

That's a misnomer. Maybe that's the total amount of swaps out there, but it's like debugging COBOL.. You cancel out one error and it will neutralize dozens of others...

Thus, it's not the amount, it's the amount of time that is required to unwind them, AS WELL as what will replace them.
