JOMC seized the WMI records and corporate assets illegally. There was a Van Gogh, a 747, lots of cash in the ATMs, real estate brick and mortar bank locations, etc. Project West was JPMC’s plan to steal it. In my opinion, they created this crisis to execute this plan. They were denied the protection of the Do-Not-Short List by Hank Paulson, former CEO of Goldman Sachs, and Bush’s Treasury Secretary. Every surviving bank was on it. He picked the winners and the losers.
