Spanish term or phrase: Levantar
A pesar de los esfuerzos de este periódico para contactar a un representante de Wachovia, no fue posible conversar con ningún portavoz del banco antes del cierre de esta edición. Sin embargo, la entidad dijo a agencias de prensa que la institución se toma "muy en serio" las acusaciones y que está "activamente involucrada" en la toma de medidas para corregir la situación. Al tiempo de conocerse la demanda colectiva contra el banco, la entidad anunció la venta de acciones preferenciales por valor de 3,500 millones de dólares con el fin de *levantar* capital.
