I get that but what I don't get is this.

I am sure there are other financial institutions (domestic and/or overseas) that would have paid more for the $1B NY building alone?

This looks as if the Government basically handed BS to JP without allowing a competitive bid. From a layman, it would have been better for the Government to take it over (ala S & L in the early 90s) and then sell it at a better price?

I wonder if this means BS stock price will go down to approx $2 Monday?
