In my opinion, we stock holders have obtained the most beneficial position we could expect by simply investing money in this stock 3 or 4 years ago. Now, the natural course is to "follow the money". This FDIC guy, Shoppe, filed this insight into how f'd up the seizure and sale was from the inside: http://www.scribd.com/doc/112497024/Kelley-Case-Shoppe-Affidavit-2012-11-05-Case Sheila Bair didn't say anything about this in her book, did she? Amazing that a "deal" could go so well in her opinion, and so wrong a the very root of the deal: the written agreement spelling out what was sold! Anyway, follow the money -- holding long.
