As I read Laurent, what he is saying is that while the original loans may have created new Money, this is essentially then "repaid" when the Bank sells the loans on. ie no new "net" Money.

That is not the case.

I am saying (and you are agreeing) that once the loans = Money are created then while selling them on may change the counterparty of the loan, the "new" "asset-backed" Money created in the first place remains in existence.

As I said earlier, it just goes to show how obscure the system is, and how its fundamental flaws are entirely hidden from view behind smoke and mirrors..

Yes, after a good night sleep I tend to agree that my analysis is wrong and that money is created even if there is repackaging.

The household got the created loan money and this amount won't go away in existence and in the bank book until repayment of the loan.
