CIT To Be Bailed Out By Goldman And JP Morgan

Tyler Durden's picture




Developing Story: I am the great vampire squid's total lack of surprise. So the government and FDIC will not touch CIT, but Goldman and JPM which have tens of billion in dollars owed to the FDIC via the TLGP can bail them out and make it seem like a private bail out? Are all conversations between 85 Broad and Tim Geithner/Sheila Bair over the past 48 hours FOIAble? Red pill please. Also explains the two banks' recent commingled dinning patterns.

Granted, but some of the "liberty" lovers want less government. So let the IBs rule directly, right?

I am sure all the bad stuff immediately gets hidden in some SIV, or off balance sheet bullshit.  Do they still intend on starting the new FASB this November or will the banks and congress force the FASB to cave on bringing all the TOXIC GARBAGE on to the books?

 

 

Oh yeah......Fuck Goldman

Seems to me the international elite are setting up goldman as the scape goat to which we will all focus our indignation on while the ruling party will remain unseen. That could be the only explanation for all this media coverage. For all the carnage that has been caused and yet to be caused world wide someone has to be blamed and as of yet we have no one other than maddof that went to prison. Though goldman is truly evil they are only the front man of the evil agenda... no different than the president of the united states. I wont be satified until the Rothchilds, Rockefellers and Morgan familys (to name a few) are chained up for their crimes against humanity.

Well that's trouble alright. Because it makes the Campaign for Liberty (Ron Paul) part of the international elite. Say it ain't so.

The reason things are accelerating is becuase as they gain more power they have more power with which to gain more power. Quoted from David Icke.

Big PR move?  Well, it's working CIT up 100+%.....the excrement just keeps getting deeper.

First of all, this isn't a done deal, yet.

If it is, the rich simply get richer. Not all of CIT is damaged, their business finance platform has short- term money access problems but the talent is valuable, certainly to Goldman.

Some things to think about;

 

 - It would be hard to see the Treasury sitting by and watching perhaps another Lehman take place. Nobody knows whether there is systemic risks or not. Hence the money- laundering operation. Why take a chance?

 - Treasury gets to have its cake and eat it, too.

 - The inner game is perhaps Goldman v. GE. Who needs light bulbs, anyway?

If CIT stands, what happens to GE? GE's failure would be more systemically devastating than CIT's? All of Kneale's and Cramer's idiocy makes sense if their boss is concerned about being too big to bail. GE is a Goldman competitor as was Bear and Lehman. Remember what happened to them ...

Wow, looks like I called this one to the "T" a couple days ago...not that it wasn't as obvious as saying the sky is blue and water is wet.

It's amusing...oh Hell, it's hilarious how Blanfein and Dimon wont let Tim "I am Sam" Geithner, Bernanke, or Bair act as middlemen/bagmen anymore.

1)  Ben calls Jaime and instructs him to takeover CIT.  Jaime says hell no, remember Bear?

 

2)  Ben calls everyone else he knows, no one bites.

 

3)  Ben calls Jaime back.  After ten more NOs, Ben tells Jaime he will do this, but at no cost or risk to JPM.  He'll work out the details by Monday morning.  Don't bother arguing.

 

4)  Ben calls in one of the zillions of favors that GS owes.

 

9)  Profit.

Why would GS & JPM bailout CIT when they can steal it over the weekend through a bankruptcy? They can have the FDIC and the treasury backstop and losses and they will then own it for free.

GS need exposure to the common people. Jamie told lloyd that he need to step up to the plate and get the exposure through CIT.

Hopefully for GS, they will realize some some losses with CIT which shows they are taking one for team United States (a force for good). 

 

All in all, a decent opening pr move by GS. 

 

BTW jamie is playing this better than anyone.  Dimon has GS out front (like junior soparno) taking all the hits.

I don't think Jamie has conspired to have Lloyd take all the hits. I  blame that to those who are supposed to be watching. It's just half-assed politics.

All this means is the GS killer prop desk was frontrunning the story to get a cool 124% return for 2 hours work.  JPM prolly joined the fun because their equities desk needs to make up for lost time (2q09).
