Remember, we have several PAID moles, crooks, ne'er-do-wells that are here to distract and lead us astray. They want us to just give up (give up shares too) and walk away
~ HEX, NO', Not To Worry ~
If your "class designated tracking markers", currently show in your personal account, all in proper form', ... You'll BE Completely Fine, as each of the Class Designated "Supporting Trusts", begin to release'. ...
The point I was making, was that in the same fashion as the Class 21's were completed, ... The WMI-LT will only be a "PASS-THROUGH" mechanism, ... and none of this, ... LTI's to be issue (Interests in the LT), load of WMI-LT ... "promoted and purposeful propaganda, meant to confuse" ... will make any difference at all', ...

~ Oberthal, ... Well ? Yes', BUT' ~
This is gonna get obviously sensitive to some of the "wishful thinkers" ? ... BUT', ... As I truly followed the D.C. ... "Dual Tracking Litigation" ... I tried to accomplish a number of things', ... after Plan 7's Implementation in March of 2012'
The First', ... after making sure my released tracking markers were secured, ... I personally contacted KCC, and was assured by, KCC' (our claims representative) that I would "Never" be in a position to "Ever" receive an actual "Interest" in the WMI-LT, referred to as an LTI', ... my document studies and dissections then seriously deepened' ...
The Second' ... was financial, ... and it became my decision to "accumulate" as much Tranche 5 Class 17 WMB Fixed Income Securities, as I was able to, ... while the D.C. Litigation was ongoing' ... (Yes, it was always difficult, however, as a US Investor, obtaining anything at all' FINRA allowed, beyond March 2016 actually then became impossible, the signing was in June 2016')
And Third', ... I tried to prepare everyone, with the dissection of the misleading language presented by the WMI-LT, ... WHICH WAS' ALWAYS MEANT TO CONFUSE' ... so, that by now, ... everyone would truly' ~ Know What They Own ~ and also be in a position to contact the specified "Trustee", ... regarding which securities that one originally owned ?, and released' ... and as individuals, be in a position to follow up on their individual ownership ...

Also, ... it appears to me that, The WMI-LT', is taking TWO' different and opposite' legal stands' depending on who the actual filer is ? ... If Struck needed to be filed against by the LT ?, ... then so should the LT have taken the exact same legal stance regarding ALL' of the Employee Claimants, for the same basic legal foundation' ...
and, ALL of the Employee Claimants should have ALSO' been filed against and subsequently ruled against' ? ... or', ... ALL' of them should have been paid' ... BUT there is definitely a lack of WMI-LT legal consistency going on' ...
(Did Smith Hire' Struck - Off - Of The List ?)
AZ
~ Bob, What I Believe ?, Isn't The Point ~
What I'm trying to present and properly piece together for the group, IS' ?, ... That the WMI-LT is riding BOTH' sides of the fence', ...
... If If If ?, ... (sorry, I can't help myself LOL'), ... but seriously, IF' ? the WMI-LT is truly the representation for the original Debtor & Debtor In Possession ?, ... (WMIIC & WMI) ... ? ...
Then, ... Either the CIC (Change In Control), issue', ... has been decided at the seizure "correctly" by the WMI BOD's, ... OR', ... It has not been decided, as the WMI-LT continues these litigating these CIC Issues, (employee claims) and their issue forward ...
The WMI-LT, CAN NOT ? / or SHOULD NOT, be allowed by the Court' to have it - BOTH' - ways' ...
... Since P. Struck was ultimately filed against by the WMI-LT ? and subsequently Ruled Against ?, ... Then the WMI-LT should show some legal consistency', ... and either FILE Against The remaining employee claimants, ?, ... as they did with Struck ?, ... OR', ... Pay Struck, along with all of the other employee claimants, for the same reasons' ...
(So, Smith Hires Struck, and he's removed from the list' ... ? )

~ Johnny, Are You Getting Used To Me ? ~
(hmmmm) LOL', ... I find a few of these, "overly secretive"' guys and their underlying need for the, "secrecy"' to be quite interesting', ... (all armor has chinks in it')
Yep, P. Struck is definately that', ... interesting', ... especially with his "accepted" position' offered to him by Smith' as now associated with WMIH-Corp ...
Obviously, after what ?, now some 37 months of nonsense', ? ... no one is straining themselves to "SEC RULES PROPERLY USE" ... the "Affiliates" Restricted "Cash" Provided (KKR), ... by the "Recipient" of the SEC Rules Controlled', Recipient (WMIH-Corp) ... especially with "Citi" being the designated "Escrow Agent" which has to legally control and account for all of the "Cash" ...
So enough of the nonsense already, ... The purpose for the "Affiliate" Provided "Cash", at least over the last three years now, has obviously been for the use of the pps controlling, ... "Embedded Derivative Function" ... mechanism' ... I just have a hard time believing that people at this level, would go out of their way to perpetrate', such a load of now three years full of, nonsense' ...
... WaMu', ... must truly be massive' ...
Back To Struck', ...
He originally ran WMMRC', ... and, his employee agreements appear to me at least to be in proper order, ... and, his denied claim, actually has become a curiosity ...
The WMI BOD's took the position that a CIC (Change in Control) had occurred at the seizure, ... Struck Filed his claim', ... but was denied', ... so hmmmm', ... ? ... Right ?
so, which is it ?, ... we currently have forward moving documents, yet to rule on the WMB CIC issue, ... yet, Struck gets his claim denied because the WMI BOD's said it had already occurred at seizure' ...
So, as WMI was originally a Consolidated Filer' ? ... which has now been carried forward to its reorganized version WMIH-Corp ?, ... I don't see how they' can have it both ways' ... what got seized ?, ... WMB or WMI', ... OR', AS IN VIOLATION OF THE 33' ACT ?, ... BOTH ? ...
And, ... Why did the LT' file against this guy ...
In My Opinion ?, ... Struck' should have been written a check for the $367 thousand, a very, very, long time ago' ...

Document 12456 Filed 02/02/2018
http://www.kccllc.net/wamu/document/0812229180202000000000001
After Grant Thornton demanded payment, the Liquidating Trust could have either remitted the Contingency Fee or sought relief from the Court. Instead, it simply withheld payment (refusing to comply with the Final Fee Order). Even after the Court ruled that the plain terms of the Postpetition Agreement entitled Grant Thornton to its Contingency Fee, The Liquidating Trust continued to refuse to pay, asserting mutual mistake as a justification for its position - in the face of Grant Thornton’s insistence there was no mistake. The Liquidating Trust’s conduct demonstrated an inexcusable disregard for the Court’s order and cannot be remedied by a pleading of good faith.
Because Grant Thornton had to file a motion to recover its contingency fee, the Court concludes that sanctions are appropriate in the amount of the costs associated with the filing and prosecution of its motion.
