Where is your $40B hypothesis coming from? According to the WMIIC Bankruptcy filing (on page 1) WMIIC's estimated assets were between "$500,000,001 to $1 billion." http://www.kccllc.net/wamu/document/0812228080926000000000001 Since WMI was 100% owner of equity in WMIIC wouldn't that make it an asset to have been included in it's own bankruptcy liquidation process? Or is it possible that these $500M to $1B assets were allowed to grow and/or mature for 8 years?
