There was a better way out, TARP to the people screw the banks, Jamie, Lord et al all needed their big bonuses correct. WS is nothing but a way to rob people of their money. Yield is created by WS not the market .

See, they failed anyhow, even though they get bonuses....-nfg- Coming here? Barclays Fires 12,000; Reports Horrible Earnings, Awards Itself Bigger BonusesSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 02/11/2014 - 07:58 It is not easy for one bank to anger more people with one announcement than what Barclays did in the past 24 hours. In one fell swoop, the British bank infuriated shareholders after announcing dismal earnings (an adjusted Q4 profit of about 200 million pounds and a statutory profit of less than 100 million as investment banking income slumped 37% as income fell 9% to 10.7 billion due to a fall in fixed income, and it took further charges related to a cleanup of the banking industry in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis) which sent the share price sliding, it then pissed off UK workers and taxpayers after it announced it would hike investment bank bonuses by 13% despite the abovementioned profit slump, and finally it crushed 9% of its workforce, or 12,000 workers, who are set to prepare pink slips as the bank "streamlines."
