I don't think Treasury must settle suits to move forward.
If the action by Treasury helps shareholders they might just give up on the suits. Or if they continue, the courts might say that the damage or wrong alleged in the suit no longer exists. Or they continue and maybe Treasury owes or pays something - that would have happened anyway. I don't think a reasonably fair solution will hurt Treasury's standing with the courts.
However a bad solution that makes shareholders unhappy would not only continue the current suits - but start a new round of them.
Getting all the suits settled at once is like herding cats. However action by Treasury that makes shareholders happy would be like offering a big bowl of milk to all of those cats. They would all end up in the same place.
Admin fix will remove NWS and apply $290B towards $187B+10%
The removal NWS and application of $290B towards $187B+10% will make lawsuit gone in minutes. If plaintiffs cannot win any case with illegal NWS then there is no chance of win after NWS removed and extra applied based on original contract.
FNMA just met principle+10%. FMCC is $3B-$5B higher than principle+10%.
