So now Citi is trying to pay back the government its remaining 20 billion dollars of US Government TARP aid. They plan to do this by issuing out more stock.
Now, since the government owns one third of the bank's common shares, wouldn't a new issue of shares hurt that investment? The government needs to play hardball on this and not let that sale happen.
This is simply a reactionary plan.Citi is simply jealous that Bank of America was allowed to pay back their debt. But I'm sure the government will roll over. Seems like they are good at that when it comes to the banks.
