Wells Fargo has an exposure of $81 billion in subprime auto loans, although this isn’t listed on paper. JP Morgan has $28 billion in loans to subprime lenders, while Goldman Sachs has $16 trillion. The concept of large banks lending to a number of smaller subprime lenders was supposed to “spread the risk.” However, with the increasing number of auto loan defaults, the risk is boomeranging back to the major banks.
