Apparently Bhatia screwed the analysis up

"Under the terms of the Citadel transaction, E*TRADE will receive $2.5 billion in cash, of which $2.4 billion will fund today. The terms include:
-- E*TRADE will receive $1.6 billion of capital in exchange for 12.5% senior unsecured notes and common stock. This includes a contribution of capital by investment funds managed by BlackRock, Inc.
-- Citadel has acquired E*TRADE's entire ABS portfolio, including CDOs, for $800 million in cash.
-- Upon final closing, it is expected that Citadel will invest an additional $150 million in exchange for 12.5% senior unsecured notes and common stock."
The Citi analyst is wrong.
