Steven Mnuchin. Calabria used "Mnuchin" and "Treasury" interchangably in that part of his book, making it clear that Mnuchin was the one he was negotiating with.
Now Treasury has to be an author for you to accept what they said? That's a stretch, even for you. Treasury was a source.
Here's the quote from the book:
Your persistent refusal to accept the clear evidence might very well prove disastrous.
Treasury said a writedown was illegal. You refuse to believe that claim for whatever reason. Your belief, or lack thereof, will have no bearing on what Treasury actually does with the seniors.
For the sake of argument let's say you're actually right and that a writedown really is legal. If Treasury disagrees and insists on converting the seniors to commons anyway (because from their perspective writing them down would be illegal), how does that help you? It would be quite the Pyrrhic victory on your part.
All you are really arguing here is that if the cash NWS starts again in the future then shareholders could be owed money damages. You don't seem to grasp the fact that the jury verdict did not alter a single letter of any contract or agreement, either retrospectively or prospectively. In addition neither the trial nor the verdict had anything at all to do with the senior prefs or their liquidation preference, so your theory that Treasury could use the verdict as cover to write down the seniors is full of holes. The reason that the NWS breached the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing was that it lay outside of investors' reasonable expectations. A senior-to-common conversion, on the other hand, is a perfectly reasonable expectation now because Calabria's book is publicly available, it was discussed in the CBO report, and it happened with AIG.
