In a nutshell, Colonial BancGroup (CBCGQ) claims the FDIC illegally turned over it's assets to BB&T and as a result has taken legal action against the FDIC. (see link below)
Also, with the change in 'Net Operating Loss' rules (NOL), they can now carry back losses 5 years versus 2 years. Speculation has the estimated NOL to upwards of +$300 million with the 5 year carry back.
They could stand a chance at recouping some major money depending on the outcome.
