I've had similar thoughts. TBTF could acquire fannie AND freddie, and do whatever they want with them. Perhaps the TBTF would rather have their own mtg finance businesses not subject to things like gvt affordable housing mandates etc. Maybe that's why they haven't simply bought out the GSEs.

Why would big banks buy shares that don't have any rights?
