Banks on the Brink: If Assets Marked to Market, Wall Street Giants and the Federal Reserve Face Insolvency.

by OtaraMilclub

If banks were required to mark their assets to market, as they did prior to 2009, the entire banking industry, including the too big to fail wall street banks would be insolvent, along with the Federal Reserve. Does this seem sustainable to you?

$500 billion wiped out in a matter of days and no one blinks an eye. We’re truly screwed as a society, never mind as humanity. The only people up in arms, I presume, were those with cash in those banks.
