Basically Mr Smith replied truthfully to your questions.
1) the FDIC has nothing to do with WMILT. And we already know without any speculation, that the FDIC pays according to the waterfall with the bank depositors at the highest and the SH ai the bottom below the bondholders. What remains will go to SH if there is anything left but WMILT has nothing to do with this.
2) WMILT has filed and disclosed what it has. Now it is up to speculation that WMILT does not have to disclose other assets that it does not have to disclose such as SH, or bankruptcy remote assets. It will be up to us to speculate how much that is but I warranty you that it is not in the hundreds of billions but more like 25B maximum according to the discrepancy in the balance sheet that Justice and HM had found.
I kept saying this but by conflating the FDIC and COOP in your questions, it made Mr Smith avoiding answering to your questions.
All what you need to do is to ask a simple question:
- Is there other assets that WMILT has not filed and disclosed in its SEC filings?
