plaintiffs understand: gvt can partially getAway with this, at least. It's also possible the gvt might entirely get away with it. A realist like any fund manager should be will understand that even though his entire wallet was stolen, he might eventually only get his driver's license and a few credit cards returned to him, while any cash he left in there will almost certainly never be returned. Also, if the plaintiffs push too hard for total relief, they'll get squashed by the corrupt machinery of gvt ultimately, and maybe in some indirect way later on, when they least expect it.
Most of the major plaintiffs probably understand who they're really up against here, when you dig deep enough. They're up against the most feared and powerful entities and families in the world, if one accepts that the TBTF are behind this entire scheme.
I agree entirely with you. I wouldn't stop fighting and I wouldn't accept the Moelis plan bc it basically sanctions the theft and asks the victims to play nicely from now on while they continue to get robbed. But...if I was managing billions of other people's dollars, i'd have to pursue settlement talks with the gvt. There's just too much of a risk that the SCOTUS would shut down any hope for justice and compensation, as obviously wrong as such a decision would be.
Basically, we've been watching up close how "they" really CAN "get away with it." We've seen all the delay tactics, the lies, even perjury, secret documents, efforts to steal and coopt the GSEs' "secret sauce" and give it away to the TBTF, the corrupt media aiding and abetting, the incompetent judges, the self-dealing, the stealing of settlement money, of private property. This is how "they" do it! It's an entire web of tactics, some very subtle, some not. It's like a tightly woven fabric found in a bullet proof vest. But the purpose here is theft, not protection. The many layers of deception and corruption make their theft almost bullet proof, almost untouchable, it seems.
