PS, and some Banks, like WaMu, actually went to the Fed Windows, asked for money and were denied. Also, not put on the No Short Sell List. My Two Cents is that much of the Whole Financial Crisis as it is called was actually just another Fed scientifically created Depression/Repression. One in a long series going back literally a hundred years. WaMu was just a contrived event to give the Government/Banksters/Media what they wanted, more Control, Power and Money/Assets. The Too Big Too Fail Banks always knew they could count on the NY Fed to give them unlimited Funds to survive and almost just as importantly unlimited Funds to Buy Up all the Depressed Assets/Competitors during their manufactured crisis.
