Why are Citigroup's $300 billion in loans considered risky by the bankers?

In 2008, the government guaranteed $306 billion of Citigroup assets. The assets were mortgages and other assets. Other assets mean derivatives and Credit default swaps.

Will losses in these loans affect Citigroup or will the government insurance buffer against losses?
