Will Banks Repaying TARP Take Back Their Toxic Waste Now?

That's brilliant Ed, a year ago when Fifth Third purchased the assets of a distressed of a Florida bank you penned an article how the Fed approval was in essence an all clear signal for FITB. ( I don't think we need to go into what has happened to FITB's stock price since your ridiculous assumption) Now you claim those very same regulators are engaged in a fraudulent scheme to hide under performing assets and staged a rigged stress test. So I guess in your opinion the Fed has gone through a deep metamorphosis in a short year, or could it just be you are clueless, which I expect is the real case. Talk about toxic waste.

10 Banks 'Guaranteed' to Survive and Prosper

I just don't get it at all, FITB has been tanking since 2002, long before the current mortgage/credit markets began their nosedive. What on earth would make you think they will bounce back and prosper when they clearly have both a flawed business model and a foot print from hell ? Did you do any research at all ? Did you just throw names in a hat ? FITB had already borrowed more than 4 billion in the last two years prior to the TARP money. It didn't do anything for them, why would a government loan suddenly overcome bad management ?
