I did speak with my attorney yesterday. His interpretation was that Weil has advised WMI to not list all the assets so that they can stay in Chapter 11 BK. Once they get the 4.4 Billion back, then they will start getting other assets back and the A > L for the reorg plan. He has done BK work for other companies and said Wamu is playing this perfectly.


EXACTLY!!!

This is exactly what Johnny and others are misunderstanding. $1.3 billion in liabilities is relevant of course for the time being, it puts WMI in protection of the BK court until it can get its deposit back and reorganization plan together. The liabilities that are shown currently on the MOR are merely an accounting tactic. If you read the 'fine-print' in the MOR you will see that this is exactly what is going on:
