...if THABJ asks the parties to settle...
...that's a BIGTIME win even with the BK wrangle...
...we believe Mr. Thomas J. Curry (new OCC chief) wants the OTS dirt settled anyway and has stated this publicly - even yesterday in the NYT...
...Guy will settle if the court gives the directive...he wants $500MM and a charter...the OCC tosses up $50MM cash only..............we compromise.......
...we contend that, in our opinion, the parties agree to settle for about $175MM, cash, with a charter.......................ultimate payola to shareholders is $75MM or $2.25 +/-...or hold long-term with the new bank.............all comments are IMO, Larry, and don't give me a $340/hr. scolding 'cause I don't G.A.D..........bank on the court-ordered settlement.................
