Let's Take a Closer Look

The Balance Sheet; "As of June 30, 2017, the Receiver had approximately $2.76 billion to distribute to holders of claims allowed by the receivership"

How can the FDIC-R pay all; "After paying JPMC in full, the Receiver made an interim dividend distribution on September 26, 2017, on all approved senior unsecured claims of the receivership, including the claims of DBNTC, general trade creditors, and the WAMU senior bondholders." with only $2.76B?

$6.45MM + $3B + other Stuff = is greater than $2.76B. The Math don't work.

"The resolution of WAMU through the P&A Agreement was completed at no cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund." can only happen if "the Final Payment" was made to FDIC-C, which happened on June 1st, 2017 but not reflected on the FDIC-R WaMu Balance Sheet.

The Balance for claims was paid from FDIC-C money transferred to FDIC-R within the Reporting dates of "As of June 30, 2017" and the next Reporting date.

"The Receiver anticipates that it will make a final distribution at a later date. It is unlikely that the Receiver will have sufficient funds to distribute to holders of receivership certificates issued to WAMU subordinate note holders or equity holders." This is a true statement "As of June 30, 2017". Distributions to "WAMU subordinate note holders or equity holders" happens in the following month.

FDIC - Status of Washington Mutual Bank Receivership UPDATE


Interim Dividend Distribution

As of June 30, 2017, the Receiver had approximately $2.76 billion to distribute to holders of claims allowed by the receivership, according to the priorities established in 12 U.S.C. § 1821(d)(11)(A). The most recent receivership balance sheet summary can be found at the following link: (WAMU Quarterly Receivership Balance Sheet Summary). After paying JPMC in full, the Receiver made an interim dividend distribution on September 26, 2017, on all approved senior unsecured claims of the receivership, including the claims of DBNTC, general trade creditors, and the WAMU senior bondholders. This distribution represented approximately 95% of the receivership’s remaining total current assets. The allowed senior unsecured creditors shared equally (on a pro rata basis) in this distribution. The remaining funds in the receivership are expected to be sufficient to cover future expected and potential losses and expenses.

The settlement did not resolve certain claims by the Receiver against JPMC, including the Receiver’s claims against JPMC relating to its alleged participation with other banks in manipulating certain benchmark rates and markets (LIBOR, interest rate swaps, ISDAfix, treasury securities, credit default swaps, and foreign exchange rates). It also preserves all claims of the Receiver against other persons who caused losses to WAMU prior to its failure, including claims relating to restitution orders and all regulatory and supervisory claims of FDIC-C. The Receiver anticipates that it will make a final distribution at a later date. It is unlikely that the Receiver will have sufficient funds to distribute to holders of receivership certificates issued to WAMU subordinate note holders or equity holders.

WAMU, which was the largest failure of an insured depository institution in the history of the FDIC, had $307 billion assets, $188 billion deposits, and over 2,300 branches in fifteen states when it failed. JPMC acquired substantially all of WAMU’s assets from the FDIC, paid about $1.9 billion, and assumed all of the deposits and “substantially all other liabilities” of WAMU. The resolution of WAMU through the P&A Agreement was completed at no cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund.
