 'So , the Bank of France knew about Soc Gen's bad trades. Apparently they knew about this Saurday (1/19) and were kept abreast over the long weekend. . Soc Gen liquidated their bad trades on January 21 which was when Europe got smoked. January 22 , the Fed cut 75 bps before the markets open-- they claim they were unaware of the Soc Gen issue of the fraudulent trades. So , Did the Bank of France not  tell the ECB about this ( unlikely. ) Did Noyer tell the ECB and not the Fed ? ( interesting screw job if that's the case. ) Is the Fed lying about not knowing about  the Soc Gen  issues  and used the turmoil to justify their move'?
