  - Chapter 33 – Municipal Bond Defaults – [Bonk: What is the Title of the Book?]
  - (p150) An interesting question arising in third-party guaranteed defaults is what happens when the guarantor collapses.
  - When the letter-of-credit bank or insurance company goes under, or the corporate guarantor goes bankrupt, there is no more credit enhancement or guarantee on the bond issue.
  - In these instances bondholders usually lose.
    - Such was the case with the $1.6 billion of munis backed by Executive Life and the $600 million of housing issues backed by Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company.
- House – Committee on Banking and Financial Services – Subcommittee on Capital Markets, Securities, and Government Sponsored Enterprises
