    What’s amazing is that knock-off CDOs were able to be marketed and sold with inflated ratings (AAA, AA, BBB, etc.) and that this scheme wasn’t detected until the cash stopped flowing. What other shoes will drop?

    Given what's happened in the market this past week, there may be many more shoes dropping – boots even!
