Sept. 18 (Bloomberg) -- CME Group Inc. is in talks with banks including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Morgan Stanley to join a credit swap clearinghouse after signing Pacific Investment Management Co. and BlackRock Inc. as members.

While walking around Wallstreet, Lloyd Blankfein hears a voice whisper, "If you build it, they will come", and sees a vision of a clearinghouse. Believing he is somehow being asked to build it, and fearing he is in danger of "turning into" an honest person—whom he resented for their lack of spontaneity—Lloyd strongly wishes to do so. Although skeptical, Wallstreet is supportive. Watched by incredulous taxpayers, Lloyd plows under AIG and builds the clearinghouse. Picking up the thread, John Mack says "people will come" to relive their greed, "for it's time they have, and money they need."
