I'm lost. (nothing new there)
Did BBVA actually BUY Guaranty outright?
No stealth backup deal from GS or JPM or "da Gubmint?
I'm suspicious, to say the least.
Excerpt from the above: "The FDIC and BBVA Compass entered into a loss-share transaction on approximately $11 billion of Guaranty Bank's assets. BBVA Compass will share in the losses on the asset pools covered under the loss-share agreement."
Feel free to call the friendly folk at the FDIC on the toll-free number provided, if you have any further questions.
