Int he video it is mentioned that the investors are payed out of 3 sources of cash flows: 1. cds premium 2. interest on the collateral 3. the collateral itself. How ever, the collateral is only payed out at maturity. So, are the cds premium and the interest on the collateral sufficient to meet obligatiopns of the SPV towards the investors? I can hardly imagine.

Thanks for the explanation! It really helped out!
I like the bit where you mention the 'Risk-free High Quality Asset' earning interest.
How did it earn interest exactly? Don't tell me they bought more CDO's with it!
I'm sure this all looked very smart at the time, the fact is a lot of these things are full of lemons. The only motivation was to keep the whole ponzi scheme going and make sure the bosses got another years worth of mega bonuses.
Got to hand it to them thought - this was one hell of a scam!
