Great information documented here, Fish!! Thanks for pulling it all together. This all starts to make more sense as more deeds are brought to light and the gaps begin to get filled.
I also feel the Bloomberg investigation into the Federal Reserve, which has been roadblocked, has pieces that fit with the JPM/FDIC illegal seizure. Too many key players tied through their alliance there to not have vital information about the WAMU takeover.
ALSO ... For months I've wished we had a corresponding "archiving" website to just save the really informative posts like your recent ones plus some from other longs that provide excellent explanations of what's at hand or determining WAMU value. I've bookmarked many but it's still hard to wade through thousands of posts to find those great ones ... and to build on them as more and more information unfolds.
