"1) WMB makes a loan (creating 90% out of thin air)
2) WMI buys the loan from WMB
3) WMI securitizes the loan and involves other investors.
4) Theoretically, these securities still exist and WMI's portion is behind the bankruptcy remote curtain.
In this case, I suspect that the point where the created money goes POOF happens at step 2."
When these loans, (created out of thin air), are PAID, doesn't the 'thin air money' turn into real money?
