Extra Credit, Friday Edition

Under One Stress Test, Big Banks Look Anemic: If the government's stress test is anything like Creditsights's stress test, then Wells Fargo will need another $119 billion; BofA, $99 billion; JPMorgan, $124 billion; Citi, $101 billion; Goldman Sachs, $47 billion; and Morgan Stanley, $34 billion.

Bankers Face Strict New Pay Cap: Which could apply to as many as 25 executives, if a bank gets more than $500 million in federal money.

To Catch a Thief: Our financial system is run by psychopaths. Literally.
