The macroeconomic environment will have a huge impact on both when resolution occurs and what returns to satisfy claimants. IMHO the drive for liquidity during the upcoming financial strife will move the DB settlement. The bondholders (How much is owed to these guys anyway?) will follow suit. What really has me concerned then is if any assets will see the light of day after the implosion of the financial system. I can imagine that WMILT will be whitewashed along with FDIC and 30% of just about every savers net worth. We have to be down to weeks left before new risks enter the theater.G
