Geithner’s Fed Told AIG to Limit Swaps Disclosure

 

AIG said in a draft of a regulatory filing that the insurer paid banks, which included Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Societe Generale SA, 100 cents on the dollar for credit-default swaps they bought from the firm. The New York Fed crossed out the reference, according to the e-mails, and AIG excluded the language when the filing was made public on Dec. 24, 2008. The e-mails were obtained by Representative Darrell Issa, ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Comments: Do not, I repeat, do not tell anyone what we paid for this crap!

And these are the people who will “fix” health care. Don’t even think this is unrelated or insignificant.
