I'd prefer to hang all those banker bastards and seize all their families personal assets.

Problem is, they crap they've left behind is bigger than the money they stole.

Govt. back-stops 300B of Citi assets;

Govt charges $7B fee in the form of preferred securities for loan guarantee, with 8% yield;

Govt. loans Citi $20B, and receives $20B of preferred stock, again with 8% yield;

As a kicker, Govt. gets 2.7B worth of common stock warrants with a strike price of $10.61, with a 10 year shelf life.
