It makes more sense to get money back. But how?

A contract after TRAP can be declaired illegal.

A large part of recipients of those bonus are not even US citizens.

They are not in the US tax jurisdiction.

It is so funny to watch WS and DC fight.

The reality is no matter who win the battle, the people lose the war. If WS does not spend it, politicians will. GM, C, regional banks....

Do not get surprised, many will happen down the road.
