BlackRock Buys $15bn UBS Debt

From tonight's FT headline:

"BlackRock, the US asset manager, will pay UBS $15bn (£7.6bn) for a portfolio of subprime mortgage debt in a deal that the Swiss bank plans to announce on Tuesday with its first-quarter results, people familiar with the transaction said."

Seriously, someone's been smoking too much black rock.
