I actually don't want the public to have a financial interest in making these companies succeed

    That plan was proposed by these evil companies themselves, that should say a lot.
    They are losing billions.
    "mandated equity transfer" will be paying top prices for half of this overvalued bubble and the 'financial interest' will only mean the public is going to lose all that money when, not if that bubble burst.
