AZ you claimed that WMIH's NOLs are gone. Now, caught making an obviously errant statement, you are pretending to have asserted something else, which btw is also wrong.
You are confusing things here. The abandonment of WMB stock was a capital loss (CL), which could have been offset only by capital gains in the year the losses occurred, or IMO carried forward only 5 years. They asked the IRS, and they allowed to treat the loss as ordinary loss (OL), which can be carried forward as NOLs for about 30 years.
We have to be happy that it was treated as OL and NOT as CL!
I remember this conversation on BP with sarge and AZ , sarge provided a 600 ph. Link where on page 243 the conversation in court describes exactly what AZ is saying... my 2 cents
