UPDATE 1-ABS swap traders, dealers reject contract change

(Reuters) - Hedge fund executive John Paulson of Paulson & Co. had

contracts that an attempt to manipulate CDS prices by buying
back loans would break securities laws.




Paulson's concern was that sellers of protection on
mortgages could buy delinquent loans underlying the contracts
to avoid triggering default payments and limit their losses.
