Had AIG declared Chapter 11, the court could have
pulled all that back and more.Goldman was very vulnerable to AIG, and had Paulsen not gone in and paid all AIG CDS at Face, Goldman would have choked.[/quote]
Pat: Utter gibberish and utterly divorced from reality.
Goldman had NO counterparty risk with AIG at all. Their position was nearly fully collateralized through cash and securities and the balance was covered by insurance (in the form of CDS).
You might want to assemble the actual facts before weighing in on a topic.[/quote]
you’ve never heard of clawback.
When you are in CH 11 the court can pull back
the collateral. The hedge assumed AIG kept running, not in bankruptcypatb

GS is an investment bank and not a consumer bank, so I don’t think that public image is as important to them.
[/quote]Technically they aren’t an investment bank anymore – they switched their label (and acquired *some* regulation) becoming a commercial bank – because commercial banks got more government cheese – in the form of virtually free overnight lending at the Fed window.[/quote]
Goldman is at the end of the day a trading house and a hedge fund. If nobody comes to them to make deals, because they distrust Goldman, how much does that impair the franchise.
