Yeah, so anyone wanting an inside look at a castration should have a look at Paulson's talking points for his meeting with the banks in 2008 - telling them they will take TARP money. I will try to embed, but not sure if it will work. Link here (http://www.scribd.com/doc/15402995/Treasury-CEO-Talking-Points). Then participation commitment here (http://www.scribd.com/doc/15403027/Treasury-Participation-Commitment).
My favorite line... "If Capital infusion is not appealing, you should be aware that your regulator will require it in any circumstance." ... classic.
