CS/UBS - Speculation Post

Think we can all agree there are certainly some benefits for UBS acquiring CS WM/AM businesses (of course some clients already made the switch).

However — we see now that UBS is potentially requesting a Swiss backstop. The only business that would need a backstop is the IBD of CS. Are they merging the two? How are there any benefits whatsoever for UBS to take CS’ IBD? Why wouldn’t they just leave it be?
