I am sympathetic to some of Kovacevich's gripes and in total agreement that Geithner's overall strategy is "Asinine". However, if Kovacevich did not like the terms of Paulson's offer he should have had the guts to refuse it.

Furthermore, Wells Fargo may have brought much of this on themselves. Well's decision to buy Wachovia is questionable given Wachovia's decision to buy Golden West for $25 billion. Certainly the latter was truly asinine.

If you did your homework correctly, several banks did refuse the TARP money last year, US Bank and Wells Fargo to name a few. The treasury dept forced them to take it; that's right, the banks had no choice in the matter. Permalink
