Enough Magnetar, now on to Paulson, Goldman and the SEC

See Felix Salmon for a discussion of the SEC complaint against Goldman. They allege that Goldman violated its fiducial responsibilities in marketing a synthetic CDO called ABACUS. The SEC allegations are very similar to the story told by ProPublica and This American Life, with John Paulson's fund playing the role of Magnetar.

This is being covered aggressively by the NY Times and WSJ as well.

The Magnetar trade part one, two, three.
