Well spotted, Dumas.
This reminds yoda of numerous occasions concerning banks with large over the counter derivative (OTC) contracts. Very common for Bank A to claim a marked to market profit on a particularly large contract at balance date. By juicing the assumptions behind the theoretical valuation models used. Likewise, A's counterparty, Bank B claims a mark to market profit on that same contract. Again, by juicing the assumptions. Both sides claim each is ahead. Who lost? Both Auditors bless the approach and profits.
