Dime Bancorp Inc (fka DIMEQ)

[Adamantane]

But there is a brand new wild card in this deck, or appears to be to me, anyway. (Being a non-lawyer tends to lead me off in directions that people with more knowledge tend to avoid as dead ends.)

Namely that because of the tax adjustment issue, Judge Block suddenly has a dog in THIS fight.

Might that not open the previously closed door for Judge Block to weigh in on that bit, at least with respect to DIMEQ. Previously there was nothing in what came before him that legitimately tied to the mechanics of distribution or the WaMu bankruptcy. But now there is because it impacts his tax arrangements.

Just because it always has been completely outside the realm in which he had to operate, does not mean that Judge Block would have no opinions on the DIMEQ distribution matter. Knowing how reasonable he is, it's highly likely, I speculate, that he views this matter as we do, and perhaps now there is the opportunity for him to at least tangentially become involved here. And federal judges no doubt chat when their jurisdictions bump into one another.
