Goldman Sachs was converted from a investment bank to a commercial bank one Weekend in order to ensure it receive the TARP funds by Hank Paulson (former CEO of Goldman Sachs).
OMG! That's awful.
in order to ensure it receive the TARP funds
Ummmmmm.....I don't think you needed to be a commercial bank to get TARP. AIG, CIT, GM, F, FNM, and FRE received TARP funds and aren't commercial banks.
I think you're confusing Treasury/TARP with Federal Reserve/Discount Window.
