To be honest, I don't know what I should believe. You know from previous conversations with me that I think the Escrows will benefit and WMIH was "the icing on the cake". But IMO the speech concerning the WMCT2001 is absolutely clear. Another interesting quote from the denied confirmation order for POR6

b. Treatment of PIERS as creditors
The Equity Committee and the LTW Holders argue that the PIERS Claimants should be classified as equity, not as creditors, because their rights included warrants to purchase WMI common stock (exercisable in 2041). (Ex. D-5 at 41.) The Plan Supporters disagreed, arguing that the PIERS claimants hold preferred and/or common stock in a trust, Washington Mutual Capital Trust 2001 (“WMCT 2001"), but that the Debtors have an obligation to WMCT 2001 based on Junior Subordinated Debentures issued by the Debtors to WMCT 2001. Further, they note that the PIERS’ warrants have not been exercised and they currently do not hold stock in WMI. Therefore, they argue that the PIERS claims represent debt.

However, the Debtor’s witness was not sure whether WMCT 2001 had been merged into WMI. (Hr’g Tr. 12/2/2010 at 147-48, 150.) 101
If WMCT 2001 was merged into WMI, then the PIERS claims could be
viewed as equity. If it was not, then they are properly treated
as creditors under the Plan because they do not hold stock in the
Debtors but only stock in WMCT 2001, which is a creditor of the Debtors. Consequently, the Court is unable to determine whetherthe PIERS are properly classified as creditors ahead of the equity security holders.



And page 78 and 79 of the DS:

WMI owns the common securities (the “PIERS Common Securities”) of such trust.



And the graphic on page 79

IMO a typical hen egg problem, isn't it??? The Debtor is insolvent, has an obligation to the WMCT2001 (which is NOT one of the 33 subs of the debtor), which makes WMCT2001 a creditor of the debtor. BUT the debtor holds 100% of the equity in the WMCT. Hmmmmmm.....

The WMCT2001 cannot be released UNTIL the debtors paid the obligations to the WMCT2001, but this can only happen if the other creditors got paid IMO

Your post:

In other words you believe the common shares of WMCT, meaning any remaining asset value wholly owned by WMI was transferred to WMIH (COOP)...correct?
