NDT, you have the priorities correct but you under estimate the Executives lust for power and money along with crazty egos.
The FDIC is not going to lose control of Safe Harbor assets especially when they have lost to the rules so they will use their egos, threats and intimidation to ensure the Executives do NOT distribute anything until they give the ok. This or the Executives who do will be blackballed from the industry never to get another related job period.
This is the ultimate control and believe me this is how it works or they are kicked out of theirs so called clubs.
