It is time to discuss what a POR 7 soon to be requested by the judge and to be formulated by the EC, TPs and SNHs will look like.
It is very clear now that there is new found money in the estate due to drop in criminal charges by DOJ. There is also no need for WMI to settle with WMB bondholders as the estate had offered to settle with WMB instead of fighting the charges of fraud against the officers. The estate and FDIC can still pursue the officers for civil liability and settle for a lot less than the original settlement if the officers can be held responsible. Regardless of the outcome of the civil case, there seems to be enough money now to pay off the creditors and piers, specifically at lot lower rate and drop the IT allegations if they also join with EC and TPS.
JPM and FDIC are cornered. While FDIC has given half hearted support for the WGM's plan, JPM itself has fuc**d up by requesting the district court to intervene in their case against Lehman. It will be simply stupid to see their argument in court asking the judge to decide on POR 6. The judge is simply lost as she failed again to address her jurisdiction before proceeding with hearings.
She made same mistake in the past by allowing examiner to proceed and tried to pursue double or triple paths and made mistake by not allowing the appeal court to decide on GSA and instead decided herself without proper legal analysis of litigation claims, unlike the smarter DC judge who really did not want to decide until she heard from the appeals court.The DC judge was amazed that the bankruptcy court was proceeding while she was waiting on the outcome of jurisdictional issues by the other courts.
Now the judge will be begging EC and TPS to come up with a solution to protect her favorite JPM as obviously WGM fucked up.
