serious question for people who know alot about the current situation.
Here is a document about the whole situation from WIKIpedia.iscusses that Washington Mutual has an IRS tax liability of over 12 billion. they asked for some relief but who knows if this was granted. It is hard to determine exactly how many liabilites they have which is incredibly important. Even if there is a settlement -- How are we to know how big of a settlement is needed to pay off debt and all these other intangibles.
