The latest taxpayer-to-Goldman funding scheme:

Goldman TRS Facility

On June 6, 2008, a wholly owned subsidiary of CIT executed a long-term, committed financing  facility with Goldman Sachs International (“GSI”) that is structured and documented as a total return swap (“TRS”). The TRS is secured and is guaranteed by the Company and CIT Financial (Barbados) Srl. The maximum notional amount of the facility is $3 billion during the first ten years of the contract, and thereafter the maximum notional amount declines by $300 million per year for ten years. The arrangement obligates the CIT subsidiary to pay GSI an annual facility fee equal to 2.85% of the maximum notional amount for that year. The CIT subsidiary has the right to terminate the facility before maturity; however, if it did so, or if the facility was terminated by GSI due to a CIT default, including a bankruptcy of CIT, the governing documents state that the CIT subsidiary would be required to pay GSI a make whole amount equal to the discounted present value of the annual facility fee for its remaining term. The Company and GSI are currently in negotiations concerning an amendment to this facility but no amendment has been agreed to.

Does anyone know if CIT's assets outweigh their liabilities? In other words - is there any worth in the common? (Don't laugh - I bought GGWPQ @ .63 and sold over 5. Made a KILLING.)

Bill Black: Fire Tim Geithner

Excellent Bill Black interview via Tech Ticker. Topic de jure – The horrible job Mr. Geithner did negotiating CIT’s bailout on behalf of the American taxpayer, essentially flushing $2.3 billion down the toilet.
