Bank of America Will Repay $45B TARP Loan

BofA plans to raise $20 billion in capital to beef up its reserves and prevent it from returning with outstretched hands. Another nugget from the Wall Street Journal: The man who negotiated the deal, chief risk officer Greg Curl, may soon become the bank's interim CEO.
