Here I thought Fair Market Value was what a willing buyer would pay a willing seller.
I wasn't paying attention. There is a new definition,
FMV is what a willing government department is willing to pay a willing well connected less than competently run financial institution.

Ah, but what you fail to grasp is that when you buy a few billion (well actually, about a trillion) dollars worth of assets at above market rates, and then turn around and sell those same assets on the open market, you can make tons of money! Honest!! It won't cost the taxpayers a dime!!!
Hey, you don't think we're shitting you, do you? We're the guys who understand these markets. I mean, look at the kind of money we've made so far. Ahh, what do you rubes without TVs know about fair market value anyway?
I wonder if someone has dubbed this "the new economics."
How silly of me. Again, I've been leapfrogged, just as I thought I was getting the concept.
