There are some very disturbing questions bouncing around today about whether Citigroup could go belly up.
Citigroup, which has incurred $22.1 billion in losses from the subprime crisis, has $320 billion in "significant unconsolidated VIEs," according to a Feb. 22 filing by the New York-based bank. New York-based Merrill Lynch & Co., which recorded $24.5 billion in subprime writedowns, has $22.6 billion in VIEs, according to CreditSights.

I think that CitiGroup wouldn't be left to the law of the jungle, and that the federal government would step in to bail them out if need be.
