They may be collateralized by bonds worth even less than that. If the bonds were worth 80 cents on the dollar than they just traded 80 cents on the dollar for 99.9 cents on the dollar. A good deal if your balance sheet is in such poor shape

Personal anecdote about this: My wisdom teeth grew in about 15 years ago and have sat comfortably behind my molars since. I saw a new dentist for a routine cleaning “intro package” where she suggested that I have the wisdom teeth removed. I
