    can anyone help me?

    from what im aware banks took assets off balance sheets to avoid having to hold capital.

    for that to happen, it needs to be a true sale rite?

    does this not mean it no longer belongs to the bank? how come it comes back onto their balance sheet and gets written down??

    For everyone watching: Assets are always shown on the left side of a balance sheet and Liabilities/Equity on the right (backwards in the video)

    Great video series though, watch them all.
