Under section 121 of the Dodd-Frank Act, if the Board determines that a financial institution poses a grave threat to U.S. financial stability, then the Board, with approval from the Council, shall mitigate that threat.2 The Act offers regulators the flexibility to take a range of actions, including limiting the institutions mergers and acquisitions, restricting or imposing conditions on its products or activities, or ordering it to divest assets or off-balance sheet items.

(12,448 posts)Not that the republicans are not heinous bastards that should be used as hanging decor along Pennsylvania Avenue, but that Restoring American Financial Stability Act of 2010 was anything other than another DC blowjob to Wall Street.
We had an effective law to prevent this wholesale looting for almost 70 years and its destruction was a bipartisan effort.
