You should be thinking about another Lehman Brothers' Plan Trust Extension. These outstanding legal cases are not going to fade away into the Clouds. It takes many months to write or wait on an Opinion. Appeals and malarkey have cost this bankruptcy years and years and years...at LBHI's cost. LBHI's bankruptcy was used to resolve Financial Industry's instruments grey areas at our cost and time. Reimbursement is required from the industry.
Thank you Mellon for those words.
Your one of the good guys here. Glad to read your thoughts.
By law, pretty much, back interest and a liq min of $25 per share are not just owed, but guaranteed - just CH 11 is still open. Therefore - there's a jam in the pipeline that allows us to get whatever value (known, unknown, and yet to be) to pay our simple guarantees in full - at the very least.
Reminder - you all know since I shared the post that from 2005-2008 there's plenty of places worldwide LBHI was placing its money via various branches and subsidiaries etc. And that's just one reason to think a little differently about this ending.
Read: https://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2007/07/23/100134938/index.htm
Also I've been thru Repo 105 and the securities used but when CH 11 comes after the UK admin begins - things that are used for daily liquidity (repo 105 included) are stuck "off the books" or at the very least are the "Schrödinger's cat" of LBHI accounting/recoveries heh.
Don't forget the shorts that failed to cover before the end of common shares trading in 2012/in limbo bc commons are represented by one "Plan Trust" common share that doesn't trade since March 2012 (and not cancelled entirely) - all said shorts in limbo and not covered have $2.50 USD for each by the lending institution - in one reported case Goldman Sachs is holding $2.50 USD for each $LEH (and $LEHMQ) share it lent out to short sellers who didn't close their position before the end of trading said shares in 2012.
Have to read the cached article and scroll to the bottom for the non-paywalled report: https://cc.bingj.com/cache.aspx?q=In+this+never-ending+Lehman+short%2c+%24US170%2c000+is+still+on+the+table&d=4827552252966964&mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US&w=EI8pR-mHhMOTUXUDNfpnm0e6N-TpNEHI
Worth reading.
LBIE (In Admin) v. AGFP (Subsidiary of Assured Guaranty Ltd) is ongoing in the Quinn Emmanuel effort to get ISDA 1992 Swap Agreement entered for hundreds of millions even up to a few billion in unpaid CDS paid out in full, according to the ISDA 1992 agreement the parties entered into insuring Lehman's position in MBS (mainly) that should have triggered correct payment according to the ISDA 1992 standards and Quinn Emmanual's argument against the fact that AGFP did not use that for the first time in history of ISDA agreements and could forever wreck the entire derivatives mkt when it comes to CDS. IMO it's a no-brainer this appeal eventually is won by LBIE (in Admin) and Quinn Emmanuel for the good of LBHI since LBIE is on a consolidated balance sheet with LBHI (you can see my past posts on that with links to the 2011 report by examiners of LBHI's accounting practices). It's important to grasp.
Here is the ongoing (and stalled since 5/3/2024) appeal being fought by Quinn Emmanuel (LBIE's lawyers rep out interests in recovering a massive payment from AGFP on CDS' unpaid and really, for the future sanity and importance of all ISDA swap agreements and those currently in place - important not to allow AGFP to win and set a precedent for the agreement to be renegged on just because it didn't go in favor of AGFP in the end when the MBS and CDO markets cratered and LBIE (LBHI) was owed for years of premiums paid to insure against this scenario. Tough titties to AGFP.

Many of these interesting factors will be addressed and concluded by the time CH 11 is closed. I am hopeful and quite bullish as to the fact all these unusual instances surrounding the CH 11 exist to begin with. #MLehmanGA and #MAGA to yall
This post was brought to you by optimism, a much needed and well deserved feeling LBHCT PFD holders ought to have heading into the Nov 2025 deadline of wrapping up the UK Admin by PwC UK
Jersey for most polite user on ADVFN boards of 2024.
Kudos on the positive vibes. And yes, let us ride this ONGOING and very very potentially valuable process as it unwinds to the end of CH 11 and new beginning for folks guaranteed a nice payday (ya know like those ECAPS folks in the UK but better).
Save the best for last!
Only $2M coming in and $1M of it spent on operating expense.
Let's see what the next MOR shows.
I sure hope your right.
For everyone's sake.
All I can say is let's see in the end.
Thank you for your educated reply.
It's just conversation.
Get with it bro. Lol
😆 🤣
Jersey...its not a guess.Its knowing the process and involving in the process.$8 Billion in fee was paid by Lehman estates.There should be atleast $400 B in assets under current estates.IMO.And they have to resurrect.
FOR 16 YEARS
The old man from east coast is still confused.
Talk is talk and nothing more.
It's all guesses and just keeps this board alive.
Nice post, nice numbers
Everything will be known in the end.
Newflow, thanks for the words and GLTA
Talk is cheap. LBHI was 2 times WMI aka Washington Mutual, Inc. Anything people talk about $5 or $10 is cheap talk.As per third amended plan of reorganization(what is REORGANIZATION?), if class 11 or 12 gets 1 cent, CTs should be satisfied with interest around $45/share, IMO.
I will sell 10 k CTs for $5. If there is a buyer.
5 dollar signs…. Too much time on your hands! lol
I have heard every number that you can possibly hear. Staring from 0 to the sky's the limit, back interest and everything else. Without dreaming life would be dull. Everyone needs to dream.
When it happens it happens. All we can do is ride the wave.
GLTA....LETS SEE WHERE IT GOES.

there's a clue. Think on it.
Sixteen years is not a bankruptcy. It is a new birth. Where is the Justice for subordinated Creditors? The Debtors' were given a free pass. We are not interested in the Debtors' excuses. Show us our money. This is all part of the New American: Secret billion dollar Hugs and Kisses for a smaller well defined group.
The Legal System is being abused like the World has never seen in the past Century.
$1 Quadrillion Naked.
The Derivative Market is naked options.
The party writing the insurance policies doesn’t own/have the backing assets to cover the losses with assets like normal stock options.
A shell game. Compound fiat money.
That is why the derivative insurance contracts writer’s back in 2008 couldn’t cover their obligations.
Lehman’s lived on both sides of the fence regarding derivatives.
According to the US Treasury back in 2008 for residential mortgages was $13 Trillion of most where RMBS backed by derivative contracts to cover the losses of the insured bonds.
JPM wrote 57% of the derivative contracts.
From the WMB DB California we learn the loss ratio of 11.9% for the RMBS.
The Math (in Billions);
$13,000 x .57(57%) x .119(11.9%) = $881.79 Billion potential exposure for JPM to cover due to JPM’s derivative exposure.
s404; please go back and reread my posts

The more savvy guys I’ve met here so far on this board are hinting at an easy 20.00 range… I’m good with 10…. Anything over 20? I change my friends lives as well… I’m keeping tight lip for a while on this. US bankruptcy court is unpredictable (bad) and lenient for the right group! I think we are in the right space for a payout… if not it will rewrite corporate law! Is my take…
And that will create a new storm in the stock market and with my knowledge I will be able to capitalize on it also!
Let’s see what goes down ? Or up? lol
Us pessimists are totally good with 5 and we will ride this pale horse to the grave!
Speaking of ride!?! I hope your friend feels like sporting one of his Ferraris the day we do the garage tour… lol
Or we can take my ride to lunch…
All good in the Jersey hood!
Here is Gems Opinion... Not MIne. And solvanancy is unclear
But speaks for itsself at best its tangled and held at bay.
Gem: "Yes, the derivatives market is still very much in business. It's a massive global market estimated at over $1 quadrillion.
Here's a breakdown of your questions:
Derivatives Market:
The derivatives market is alive and well. It plays a significant role in various financial activities like hedging risks, speculation, and managing exposure to different assets.
ABS/RMBS Contracts:
Asset-backed securities (ABS) and residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) can be used as underlying assets in derivative contracts.
Whether these contracts perform depends on the specific terms of the contract and the performance of the underlying assets (ABS/RMBS) they are tied to.
GFC (Global Financial Crisis) and Derivatives:
The 2008 GFC exposed some issues with complex derivatives tied to troubled mortgage loans.
However, the derivatives market itself wasn't the sole cause of the crisis. It contributed by amplifying the losses.
Insurance Contracts and Resolution:
It's difficult to say definitively without more details on the specific derivative insurance contracts and the involved parties.
These contracts might have specific payout triggers linked to certain events or performance metrics of the underlying ABS/RMBS.
Potential Outcomes:
If the ABS/RMBS perform poorly and trigger the payout conditions, the insurance contracts might pay out to the solvent banks.
However, the contracts might have clauses that exclude payouts based on specific scenarios.
Here are some additional points to consider:
The situation likely involves complex legal and financial details.
Determining the outcome might require reviewing the specific terms of the contracts and the performance of the underlying assets.
If you're interested in learning more about this specific situation, it's advisable to consult with a financial professional familiar with derivatives and the circumstances surrounding the GFC. They can provide a more informed analysis based on the details."
Thats its opinion .. GLTU
But still interesting.
If JPM wrote 57% of an $83 trillion marketplace, then here's how we can approach the situation:
Market Size: We can calculate the total size of the marketplace that JPM participated in:
Marketplace size = ($83 trillion) / (57%) = $145.6 trillion (approximately)
Losses Covered by JPM: Unfortunately, you haven't provided the specific math regarding the losses JPM needed to cover. However, I can help you with different approaches to analyze the situation depending on the type of losses:
Market Downturn: If the losses represent a general decline in the market value of assets, then JPM's losses would be proportional to its 57% market share.
Example: Let's say the overall market value decreased by $10 trillion. JPM's hypothetical loss would be (57%) * ($10 trillion) = $5.7 trillion.
Specific Defaults: If the losses are due to defaults on specific assets, then JPM's losses would depend on the types and amounts of defaulted assets they hold.
We would need more information about the defaulted assets and JPM's exposure to them to calculate their specific losses.
Important Points:
It's important to understand the nature of the losses before calculating the impact on JPM.
A 57% market share doesn't necessarily mean JPM is responsible for 57% of all losses. It depends on the specific type of loss.
have any further details about the nature of the losses JPM needs to cover?
Also Math or Numbers don't Matter anymore .... Your politically(Family) connected or not. Is what it comes down to for SIB Systemically Import Bank.
Why? Threre are no more Reserve requirement for any SIB. National or Regional.
Debt is now irrelevent. The country is headed to Zimbobwae faster that then we can say Ohhh Sheet.
Disagree the only question is timing... for Which Corp how much. Sept 23 to hopefully recover ....or Sept 16 total panick and position liquidation.!!??
i am very hopeful we get paid pver $50, eventually. don't know when. time value of money.
my point was on jpm as jpm stock isn't taking a beating if they are in such a hole.
I would like 5 bucks. Let's see. Lol
Only in America
Hope everyone had a great 4th of July.
So you’re here and we’re here… do we get paid?
My gut says yes because you took the effort to post on the worst stock market holiday… say I’m wrong.
It’s good to analyze the surroundings…
Will we get 5.00?? Maybe more..
"JPM wrote 57% of a $83 Trillion market Place."
question is are they going to pay a dime? market says 'no'
Not Correct s404.
Lehman Brothers Special Financing Inc a sub of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("LBHI").
All regarding Swaps and Derivatives insurance that the Trustees is required to provide to protect the Bonds, or did the derivative contract writer fail to cover the ABS’s claims loss?
2008 was a Derivative Market Meltdown caused by the Community Reinvestment Act forcing banks to make very risky loans that the banks didn’t want to make.
CRA; A legislation crime.
JPM wrote 57% of a $83 Trillion market Place.
I have presented the math regarding the losses JPM needed to cover.
What JPM, BofA, WF…, did was slow pay the Swaps and deplete the cash flow of Swaps recipients like LB, WaMu, F&F, and Bear Stearns and forced them into bankruptcy, or a cheep sale.
Therefore throwing the Swaps payments into confusion.
LIBOR!
Ron
Just waiting for the Tears to stop HAHAHAH UGH!!!
I found it ....they recognize Sept 23 2008 as the official recognition of the bankruptcy and not Sept 15 2008 and the Paper work said Sept 22 2008
But the dockets says 11/04/11 the day it was recorded. Back dating is not allowed in court.

🎂 Lehman Brothers' Bankruptcy Sixteenth Birthday is on September 15, 2024. The CT Holders' back interest is a variable asset, in addition to the fixed $25 per share CT Holders' principal or liquidation amount.
The IRS argued they were the experts and they should get to decide what is income.
If I remember right the rule that discharged debit rule was created in 1993. They used Chevron as the reason they could create it.
The IRS lost most of their power to interpet the the tax code. Chevron gave federal agency unlimited power to expand what is income. The can now only use what the law says.
The IRS doesn't get to decide its income in a bankruptcy. The bankruptcy judge gets to. Solyndra is a good example. The is no law that says discharged debit is income just a IRS rule.
Soo much we Dont know. I Use youtbe for Trade education. Learning curve is shorter. IMO
Continued...
It's important to clarify that Chevron deference likely didn't directly determine that discharged debt is considered taxable income. Here's why:
Tax Code and Regulations: The Internal Revenue Code (IRC) defines taxable income and sets the framework for taxation. The IRS issues regulations to interpret the code and provide guidance.
Chevron Deference: This legal principle applies when courts review interpretations of ambiguous laws by federal agencies like the IRS. If a relevant IRS regulation regarding discharged debt existed and was challenged in court, Chevron deference might have come into play.
Possible Scenario:
Let's say the IRS issued a regulation stating that discharged debt generally counts as taxable income.
If a taxpayer challenged this regulation in court, arguing the IRC didn't explicitly mention discharged debt as income, Chevron deference could be relevant.
Under Chevron, the court would likely defer to the IRS regulation as long as it found a reasonable basis for considering discharged debt as income within the framework of the IRC.
Recent Development:
HAHAH
Realy.. I hope your right!!
but I Thought...
The case of Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo is a landmark Supreme Court decision issued on June 28, 2024, that has significant implications for Chevron deference. Here's a breakdown:
What is Chevron deference?
Chevron deference was a legal principle established in the 1984 case Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. It gave courts some deference to how federal agencies interpret the laws they're tasked with enforcing. Under Chevron, courts would generally defer to an agency's interpretation as long as it was reasonable and not inconsistent with the clear intent of Congress.
What did Loper Bright decide?
The Supreme Court, in a 6-3 decision, overturned Chevron deference. The Court argued that the plain text of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) requires courts to exercise their independent judgment when reviewing agency interpretations of law. They found that Chevron deference wasn't required by the APA and had become problematic in practice.
What does this mean?
The Loper Bright decision means that courts will now scrutinize agency interpretations of law more closely. Agencies will no longer be able to rely on Chevron deference to shield their interpretations from judicial review. This could lead to:
More litigation: Businesses and individuals may be more likely to challenge agency actions if they believe the agency's interpretation of the law is unreasonable.
Increased uncertainty: With less deference to agencies, there might be more uncertainty about how certain laws will be enforced.
Potentially more power for Congress: If courts are less likely to defer to agencies, Congress might have a stronger role in shaping how laws are implemented.
Overall, Loper Bright is a major shift in the balance of power between courts, agencies, and Congress. The long-term effects of this decision are still unfolding, but it's clear that it will have a significant impact on how federal agencies operate and how the law is interpreted and enforced.
....IMO
Summary
Deference applies in cases of judicial review, i.e., when a plaintiff accuses an agency of unlawful
action. In such cases, the court must decide whether the agency was authorized to act as it did.
However, Congress often passes broadly worded legislation that requires agencies to fill in the
details of rule-making and enforcement. The degree of interpretation is a direct function of
lawmakers’ imprecision in crafting statutory language.
Taxes are Taxes Yes/ No?? Or is your stance of interpretation only??.
what is the timeline on this that jpm ponies up?
We won Loper Bright Enterprise vs Raimondo. That means discharged debt is no longer taxable income. The NOLs are back in play.

USE YOUR SECOND GRADE MATH.
There is still “130 BILLION”unpaid debt and you are blaming JPM.
Thank you Ron

Paying all Legal Fees is Proof of Solvency.
Yes Lehman’s is a going concern.
Lehman’s only fell into bankruptcy because JPM ran out of money to pay Lehman’s on the evening of September 14, 2008.
JPM was and is bankrupt.
Too many derivative contracts exposure to cover. Back in 2008, JPM derivatives contracts exposure to cover losses was $700 Billion.
Please read my posting history.
I have explained it before. I mainly post on IHUB COOP MB.
I know the history.
Ron
All together, expenses for the Chapter 11 and SIPA proceedings add up to $7.26 billion.
Although the Chapter 11 proceedings are set to continue for some time, our figures include expected estimates for the remaining period of resolution, as reported by the Lehman debtors. Moreover, the SIPA resolution is essentially complete. Thus, the expenses reported in the chart above are likely a fair estimate of the total expenses from these resolutions. However, expenses for resolving other Lehman entities, such as its non-U.S. affiliates, are not available. As a result, our estimates should be viewed as a lower bound on the total expenses associated with Lehman’s resolution.
