They don't fucking sell the MBS to other investment banks through the trading desk dumbass. They sell directly to investors.

In the fire sale scene they even talk about this. The traders said things like "oh we bought too many, oh we bought this at 95, etc".

You dumb ass they were talking about the par value of the lots that compose the MBS.

They weren't just selling the MBS in the firesale, they were selling the mortgages they used to make the MBS

This is literally spelled out for you in the board meeting.

You dumbass the par value is always 100. The traders were lying and claiming they bought it at 97 or 95 whatever.

Goddamn you clearly don't know shit about bonds. img

You can't sell a mortgage over a trading desk like this idiot.

They were selling their own originated MBS and pretending like they bought them for trading purposes.
