Oh give me a fucking break! Since when did PIMCO not realize the risk in MBS?! I’m sorry for the vulgarity – but please don’t waste the court’s time trying to convince a judge that has over extended his retirement funds buying your ridiculous stocks by telling him you, PIMCO, are shocked… How stupid do you think judges really are?
