I like that you remembered to not title this 'one-party state watch'.
(cue self-righteous comments noting that both parties suck, etc.)
When is securities fraud not securities fraud?
When the Fed and/or Treasury do it, apparently.
Maybe it should be viewed as compensation for destroying billions of dollars of stockholder value by forcing BoA to take on Merrill. The question should be whether the convoluted method of compensating BoA for purchasing Merrill was cheaper than directly covering Merrill's losses and permitting Merrill to survive or letting Merrill fail.
