11:01 pm
what is left of detroit. pension fund, union and debtholders scrambling for their cut after the city declared itself bankrupt. but what is haening in detroit may not stay there. it could have big implications for the rest of us. with us now from the frontline rategy company and wth yard advisors. am going to start with you, this is onof the most talke about bankruptcies before it even happens and certainly the largest that happened t too long ago. what do you make of this? >> it is a tale of two cities if you don't mind me. stockton was a perfect storm of a very intense time of overspending, overpromising and under developing where troit is a systematic breakdown what wou have been progressiveve polici in the socialgenda front. i grew up south of detroit in
11:02 pm
ohio, went to the city on a regular basis. it was a magnificent place. to seet deteriorater you have a a huge pension obligatio, the fact the tax base has left metropolitanarea, buildg up over the last 15 to 20 years, it is the perct storm. gerri: here is what rick snyder said. >> hat'll come thugh the process, the point is anybody buying bonds should be aware of the financl challenges. we want to work through this, get that done. gerri: having big effects, what do you make of the governor's statement, what he had to y
11:03 pm
about this. what he is saying is quite dangerous. he has characterized the general obgation bondss being unsecured creditors of the city, and i alwayselieved and i think the market believes the past 100 years they are obscured by the municipality. very dangerous precedent he is trying to set here. chyl: emergency ty manager is proposing bondholders get cents on the dollar. >> the same thg in the stockton case earlier th year where they basicallyided with the city and calpers, thearge pension fund for state workers in the state of cifornia. of course the bondholders get a haircut and the problem is you have to find some sort of equity
11:04 pm
or penalty here. if they got the bondholders, who is going to invest in cities and municipalities if they know they will get i gerr detroit has been a mess. the city in big trouble, some people have left, population declining. u cannot even get a cop or a famine to your house inside of an hour. the problems go way beyond muni bonds, right? >> absolutely. they are just the finymptom of the collapse it detroit is a mess, it has been a ms, on trial for everything wrong with urban america. your heart has to go out to these with the you think deserve the pension or not.
11:05 pm
they are now in a situation where they don't know if the will continue to get the pension that they have relieupon to live. it is veryompete a situation and won't be sorted out quickly. gerri: we have to haveome sympathy for these people, but the city overpromise and under delivered. people are not paying their water bills, their heating bills, at e end of the y the city has made major mistakes on theay and if anybody was to pay, it has to be the local government. >> here's where get down to the crux of the probl. not just in califora, but with detroit and even bigger cities like los angeles tt have a looming pension problem. not that we don't feel for em who have beepromed in the past, if toney is not there, somebody wilill have to renegotiate. that is what bankruptcy allows
11:06 pm
them to do. if it's a hacut so somebody can get the same kind of penalty in the end we would have a much more successful outcome. gerri: ion't know. this is going to be a big fight. a jue today so this bigoted filing i unconstitutional. yolook back, gm was in bankruptcy for s weeks, how long is this thing going to last r the ci of detroit? >> this is a completely different kettle of fish. chapter 11 for corporations, it is a different thing. the other poini want to make is 18 or $20 billion of debt outstanding liabilities outstanding. a huge amount of money and to your point about being a low tax base, that is true. only 13,000 per year.
11:07 pm
you do theath, 17 billion is a huge number. gerri: cities go up and citi go down thank you for coming on tonight. onto our other big story tonight, the sec has slapped llionaire hedge fund manage with insider trading th related charges. the most invested ever. fox business senior correspondent charlie gaspino and thor of circle of frids. the government has been after this guy for a long time, you predicted it, was this a surprise? >> no. they were ramping up the failure to supervise gaze. what is fascinating is its along the lines of what they did with jon corzine. you don't have to charge the target with fraud. just if you have enough evidence failure to supervise and brings with it all the penalties of a
11:08 pm
fraud charge. stevehe will be charged. it is on their home court. if you are betting, in 1995 told me what do you think about detroit, i would say that against detroit bonds because at pla is a basketase. in 2008 i uld have told you they are going bankrupt beccuse th whole auto industry is going bankrupt. the chances of him wning are about as high a detroit. he has great lawyers, he makes a coling case. gerri: why didn't they charge him with insider trading? >> we didn't havinsider trading. if you believehe folks, they have both been indicted.
11:09 pm
portfolio manager and if you believe they did sething wrong, and thgovernment clearly did, the g they dealt with has done someing wrong. they don't know that, they don't have evidence he got from them that link them to the insider trading. they don't say i have insider information. what we believis they have conversations, they talk about things and he doesn't take the next step like how did you get that. how do you know for sure in his case how do you know for sure that the two stocks he got information that they were going to probably tank because they had unfavorable res, how did you know it was gog to tank?
11:10 pm
that is an obvious question. what is fascining is just how much power the sec has even without a fraud charge they can take you out on failure to supervise and that is what they're going to do here. gerr is it surprising in this case? >> they think, this is them talking not me, they think he runs a criminal organization with a mpliance all ththese op doad stuff. gerri: there has been no crimal charge, correct? >> they believe they do all of these bad stuff, the compliance is to protect the man in the middle. there may be a charge against the firm. still a potential for a charge against steve cohen.
11:11 pm
i don't think this is the last straw here. i think there is more to come. i think there is a chance, they ll charge the fm with some sort of ariminal insider trading case ainst the firm. more than a toretical chance is to pursue steve cohen on some charge. they have given up on the criminal charge on the case, ich is true. if he flips,aybe they can get something on him. therere's other stuff theye still looking at. ey believe this company has operated ia very shady fashion they should not be allowed to exist and the compliance is there as a cover.
11:12 pm
if you don't believe my report, he did not mention him by name but he alluded t them. they speak in code. gerri: it is a fascining story ory. really appreciate it. unbelievab. weill talk about how soon dna testing could be available to everybody at a low cost. the latest technolo you can use to track your teenage driver coming up.
