Please enlighten the board on how escrows benefit. The POR specifically excluded the wmb stock from all the "debtors property" which was transferred to the liquidating trust. Same holds true for the Reinsurance company stock and wmiic , wamu capital trust, etc. The only difference is wmi abandoned the wmb stock to the fdic declaring its permanent relinquishment to obtain the nol. It is my understanding under Washington State Law abandonment does not equate to ownership transfer . I believe wmih as successor in interest to wmi could reclaim the stock or wmb property , but sacrifice the nol or part thereof as a result. I do not see how the LT can be said to have been transferred a cause of action over property to which it was never transferred. For example, say I have left a truck in my landlords yard. Although I have abandoned the truck to the landlord, the law in Washington ,requires the landlord or any other party to turn the property over to the State, and gives me the right to reclaim it. I have not transferred ownership to the landlord. Now say a neighbor torches the truck. Even though I have abandoned the truck I still own the cause of action against the neighbor. So I have a problem with the idea that the LT benefits when nothing wmb was transferred to the LT in the first place. Jmho
