According to the Wall Street Journal, Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) is offering to repay part of the government bailout money it received last year, and the U.S. isn't ignoring the offer.
Supposedly, the U.S. wants the bank to pay at least $500 million in order to stave off a pact that would result in the government losing on certain assets. People familiar with the matter classify the moves as an "extra measure" of federal aid for Bank of America in order to complete its acquisition of Merrill Lynch. Supposedly, both sets of the discussions would allow Bank of America to "reduce a layer of federal involvement in its affairs."
