...result into different securities (reflecting different levels of risk) to sell to investors.

That someone, Aguirre soon believed, was most likely none other than John Mack. Pequot's CEO Arthur J. Samberg, according to the Senate report, was one of the first people Mack contacted after returning from Switzerland in late June of 2001, where Mack had interviewed to become CEO of Credit Suisse First Boston (now Credit Suisse), which happened to be advising...
