so hard to keep the correct "tone" with e-mails and posts. If its any help i did not see your post as a dig. I also concur with your point. I would like to see a pro forma Current monthly pl and draw and then adjustments for the following. draws and effect on PL: If DTA was not removed from Balance sheet IF the Bank settlements were put on the balance sheet back to the when the losses occurred If the Reserves reflected actual losses NOT the inflated Scenario above reflects feral argument balance sheet was manipulated to fail.
Then make adjustments if GSE were treated as the banks: draws on above if 5% divi Draws on above if reserve requirements were the same as the banks Above reflect equal treatment
Adjustments to reflect swaps intended to be held to maturity- were not marked down M2M- represents a change in rules - that the business model was not intended handle. the hedge to keep balance sheet in good order to meet federal rules was turned against them.
I do not think 1 Dime was needed from the government to pay claims. or meet obligations- the money was needed to fill balance sheet changes imposed by the government or false losses from faulty loss scenarios and bank fraud.
