Dan,

I am playing around with a generic map of various "roles" in the mess  
-- nodes are NOT specific banks/organizations/groups/people/etc.  I  
don't think anyone knows all of the financial ties amongst all of the  
financial players in the last months/years -- some are private, some  
are public.

It took me 3 months of "1-2 hours a day" to do the 9-11 terrorist map  
at the end of 2001 -- luckily I had the time.  The financial mess is  
much bigger and more interconnected, though some of the data is more  
available.  It is probably a full time job for several people for the  
next few months.  I suspect we will start seeing some interesting and  
useful maps by early 2009.
