National Australia Bank announces 10% recovery on AAA debt

Wouldn't it be far simpler and safer to offer a fixed term 50% reduction in repayments and interest to the high risk sub prime borrowers in default.
I'm damned if I'd write off 90% just to get a quick (10%) return on a bad debt.
But then again, if these idiots were stupid enough to build dodgy portfolios on sub prime bad risk clients/borrowers, perhaps it is too much to ask for a bit of common sense.Confusion is a natural state of being -

They still hold the paper that may, or may not, be worth that 10% so will be quids in if it is worth more.
This is tax move. You create the loss in a bad year to save some tax in that year. But if the money does come in when times are better, you pay the extra tax out of a good year's results.

Glad it's not our taxes paying for that one.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
