It is not Susman job to tell us how much we will receive as it is the job of WMILT. Susman job is to help win the case, in this case it is shareholders getting the Estate after everybody is paid, and he advised the EC to accept it short of long and costly litigations that may yield nothing.
WMILT job is to liquidate the remaining of the Estate and return the proceed to those who signed release. Why is it taking so long? Your speculation is as good as mine and so I am not going to try.
But for simple things, we need to start with the law first. If the higher classes are not paid then we cannot be paid. One of the higher classes is employee claims. Why does it take so long to settle or dismiss? The story is complex and it involves also the FDIC.
End of story.
My predictions:
At least Feb 2019.
Around 15B to 20B
