		<description>CITI is obviously not alone, in that every bank needs to disclose these Level 3 securities; last week I found tons of crap at Merrill and your story here on Citi is right on!  Thanks!!&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Re:  Banks are required to disclose their off-balance-sheet assets in annual reports. According to Citigroup&#039;s most recent financial statement, filed in May, the bank&#039;s $1.1 trillion of off-the-books assets as of March 31 included $760 billion of QSPEs and $363 billion of unconsolidated VIEs.</description>

		<description>If you looked at the original, this is not the whole story. The original piece was very long by Bloomberg standards and the sections omitted are significant. There are ellipses to indicate that.</description>
