ADMISSION By FDIC: Massive Balance Sheet FRAUD

The Market Ticker

Monday, March 8. 2010 Posted by Karl Denninger in Corruption at 13:02 ADMISSION By FDIC: Massive Balance Sheet FRAUD Remember this Ticker from a few days ago? I am constantly amused by those people who claim there is some vast "conspiracy" in this country when it comes to banks, balance sheets, and fraudulent lending and accounting. There is no conspiracy. It is, in fact, "in your face" fraud. Well, one of the people on the forum emailed The FDIC to ask about what I had alleged. This was their response: That’s the value the bank had them on their books on their year-end financials, but the true value is much less. It is similar to someone in Las Vegas saying that their house is worth $300,000 because that’s what they paid for it three years ago, but the reality is, if they had to sell it in today’s market, they’d only get $250,000 for it. The FDIC has to sell assets in today’s market. --db Or tomorrow's market. The simple fact of the matter is that there it is, right in front of you. A raw admission that the banks are carrying these loans at dramatically above their actual value. Yes, this means that essentially all balance sheets must now be considered fraudulent, and thus the valuations assigned by the market to them are also fraudulent. Extending this to the stock market as a whole you now have a market that is intentionally overvalued as a direct and proximate consequence of fraud, permitted and endorsed by the government, of somewhere between 25-40%. Now you know why the market rallied off the SPX 666 lows to where it is now. 1139 (where we are now) * .60 (a 40% haircut) = 683.40, or awfully close to that 666 bottom. Of course this "valuation" expressed in the market can only be maintained for as long as the fraud is. If the ability to maintain that fraud is lost for any reason then values will instantly collapse back to reflect reality. Still sleeping well with your investments?
