    That’s what they did in my country when a bunch of the big banks almost keeled over in 2008/2009. They were temporarily (partly) owned by the state and eventually bought back their rights to operate as a separate business when things were going better again.

      That’s actually what the US government did with at least one of our failed companies as well, General Motors.

      Should’ve done it to all the banks and house loan companies too imo.
