PTSB is prepared to throw people out on the street in the interest of getting money from the vulture funds. Perhaps the sum would be greater if the bank decided to sell the loans directly to its customers. That is not debt forgiveness as the bank would make its customers pay more than what it might get from a vulture fund. I am sure such a situation is of interest to the bank's shareholders, its balance sheets and everything else.
