* Mr. Cooper (COOP) and WMIH share the same EIN (91-1653725) because COOP is the renamed public company that used to be WMIH Corp. (and before that WMI Holdings Corp.). That’s a straight name change / merger history, not a “smoking gun.”
* Paladin Acquisitions Corp. does not share that EIN (Paladin’s EIN is 86-2836057) and there’s no SEC/court record that Paladin succeeded the WMI Liquidating Trust (WMILT) or holds WMILT claims.
* WMILT finished with a final distribution in Jan 2020 and said no further cash or equity would be paid. Equity escrows are done.
What the EIN actually proves * COOP = former WMIH: EDGAR shows Mr. Cooper Group Inc. (CIK 0000933136) with EIN 91-1653725 and former names WMIH Corp. and WMI Holdings Corp. Keeping the EIN through renames/mergers is normal for a continuing SEC registrant. It does not collapse bankruptcy separations or revive old equity rights.
“Successor to WMILT / litigation claims” claim * Official WMILT filings list small residual litigation items (e.g., LIBOR/ISDAFIX class recoveries on the order of $25k–$1M potential), and then explicitly state that after the final distribution no more distributions will occur. No mention of Paladin as a successor or recipient. Bottom line * Same EIN (COOP/WMIH) = routine corporate continuity, not proof of hidden assets or liability “continuity.” * Paladin isn’t in the WMILT ? COOP chain in any official filing. * No basis for new cash to old WMI escrows via Paladin or an EIN theory—WMILT declared no further distributions.
