(Goldman Sachs either underwrote or bought protection in the form of credit derivatives on $33 billion of the total of $80 billion in mortgage related trades of this kind with AIG. Merrill Lynch underwrote 13.2 billion; Deutsche Bank, $9.5 billion. The previous numbers are from the WSJ’s independent analysis. The article also stated: “Goldman's other big role in the CDO business that few of its competitors appreciated at the time was as an originator of CDOs that other banks invested in and that ended up being insured by AIG, a role recently highlighted by Chicago credit consultant Janet Tavakoli. Ms. Tavakoli reviewed an internal AIG document written in late 2007 listing the CDOs that AIG had insured, a document obtained earlier this year by CBS News.” But the CBS News document only listed deals, not the underwriters. In addition to that document, I cross checked my data base and other data bases to determine the names of the underwriters.)
