The quick answer is that we don’t know. This is unbelievable, given that public tax money was used. As reported by the NYT, lawsuits brought by Bloomberg and FOX, as well as an Congressional effort to audit the Federal Reserve seek answers to these questions:
Who got money from the Fed? How much did they get? In exchange for what collateral? And under what terms?
My guesses are:
> Who got money from the Fed?
The lot
> How much did they get?
A lot
> In exchange for what collateral?
Not a lot
> And under what terms?
Maybe I'll scratch your back sometime. Maybe not.
