Pershing Square's "Open Source Model"

Just finished reading Confidence Game by Christine Richard. Over the course of the book she mentions a CDO valuation spreadsheet called the "Open Source Model" that was released to the public. It has over 600 tabs and was used to value MBIA's CDOs. Google reveals that the link Pershing Square posted has expired. Does anyone have this file? If so could you post a link or PM me?

There have been many great comebacks throughout history. Jesus was dead but then came back as an all-powerful God-Zombie.
