Proposal:
Lesson from CS: even for large banks (GSBI) we cannot trust the capital estimates.
Hence SSM must impose moratorium on dividend/buy backs until investigation of whether equity values (marking to market assets and valuing deposit franchise) are close to CET.
RT @lugaricano: INSANE: Together with proposed dividend, Unicredit will distribute €5.25bn to shareholders. They in turn back increase in CEO salary plus bonus to €9.7m.
For a bank with a mark…

The explanation for this type of behavior was given by @MarkusEconomist: "Being weak is your strenth." By being weak, a bank avoids losses being push on it- on the contrary , it ensures it is bailed out.

INSANE: Together with proposed dividend, Unicredit will distribute €5.25bn to shareholders. They in turn back increase in CEO salary plus bonus to €9.7m.
For a bank with a market cap of €30bn.
With bns of unreconized bond losses.
In a banking crisis.

Here is the argument:
Let e be the probability that any generated token exits the tree of "correct" answers.
Then the probability that an answer of length n is correct is (1-e)^n
