    For the same reasons Anglo borrowed $32 billion from the US central bank...the state Guarantee. Where did the money go?

    OK. This is frankly incomprehensible. It seems to be based on this:
    At 31 December 2011 the Bank’s nominal holding of senior bonds totalled €950m. This figure includes €33m nominal of senior bonds received by the Bank under the INBS Transfer Order on 1 July 2011. In October 2011 the Central Bank of Ireland advised the Bank not to increase its usage of sale and repurchase facilities provided under open market operations with the ECB. As a result, at 31 December 2011 there were no senior bonds used in sale and repurchase agreements under open market operations with central banks (2010: €12,275m). At 31 December 2011 senior bonds with a nominal value of €750m had been pledged under a Special Master Repurchase Agreement (‘SMRA’) with the Central Bank of Ireland.

    But that appears to have absolutely no relevance to anything else in the OP, particularly because it refers to something that happened a couple of years after the Anglo bailout.

    As such, closed. The OP may PM me with a more comprehensible version if desired. fat_tony, I can understand the temptation, but bear in mind that under less provocation that would merit an infraction.

    moderately,
