A trade of bad paper for cash would meet the minimum requirement test. Also, eat up the smaller banks, put their deposits on the books to show more assets.

Q,
If I understand you correctly, the 700 billion would prevent and international "outing" of the criminal banking by making them compliant. That does make sense, though why wait till the last minute? Of course they had to create the crisis "to be managed" in order to pull it off. I think there is something to this. It might also explain why the Fed lent out so much money the day after the vote failed.
