The German ABCP conduit model, which financed long term American mortgage loans with short term paper and pocketed the spread, was profitable only for as long as new buyers for the short term paper could be found, so the model collapsed the moment institutional buyers withdrew.
Source quote, verbatim
A signifi- cant downside of this business model, however, was liquidity and re- sale risk—profiting through the spread only worked while the con- duit (i.e. Rhineland Funding) found buyers for the ABCP it issued
