Correct. The Obama Administration knows they will lose against shareholders and want to keep the price as low as possible so Obama has to pay shareholders less.
The idea is, after the NWS is ruled a "taking", the government will have to repay shareholders for property "taken". This way, the government can argue..gee, ok, we "took" shares that are only worth $4.27 times 1.1 billion shares..or about $5 billion dollars.
Not bad..for the government. You steal 50 billion, get caught, and only repay 5 billion. Banks did the same thing. They robbed FNMA of hundereds of billions, (by lying about the quality of the loans) got caught, and only had to repay pennies on the dollar.
Im not buying it one bit, and neither is Trump. John Carney, or what ever tabloid author is writing trash for WSJ THIS time, can keep their BS.
