I understand that they have over £1bn of CDOs - you would think that the m-t-m loss on that alone is over £500m! Good to see that the world is catching up with the insurance companies - I found the CEO's statements of how they had come up with the numbers very scary and uninformed - seemed to be a strong reliance on ratings for a start!
