I don't see how this transaction is going to fly. From all the articles it appears the only other bidders were JC Flowers and KKR. I understand BSC has some major liabilities but if I was a shareholder I would not be happy with a closed auction like this.

though I am not a fan of regulation myself, you can't deny that although regulation didn't prevent LTCM, it helped avert a disaster.

it didn't prevent Bear but it did provide peace of mind (i won't even dare use the "r" word because thats pure dog-poo)

i agree that regulation isn't a good thing but a safety net is nice to have in times like these
