...it’s true. In an interview early this year in his office, Nesson moves quickly, from his childhood, to his relationship with the Internet and computers (in the 1980s, fiddling around with an early personal computer, he fashioned a virtual poker program that he was later able to sell for enough money to buy himself a summer home.)

Until now, banks have resisted selling the highly securitized, largely illiquid toxic assets, arguing they're worth more than the current fire-sale prices being offered on the open market.
