WMI/WMILT/WMI Escrow Marker Holders are "100% the rightful equity beneficial owners of all assets in DST which hold all the assets and non-banking assets (i.e. real estate, mineral rights, beneficial interests of certificate participation in MBS Trusts created by WMI subsidiaries)"


Who overlooks the trustee? I've heard stories of money funnelling, not wmi ,NOT our trustee but others. Just sayin, whos got the power here? We've got right to title but the trustee seemingly has ALOTof power. He reports to who,? Us, rightful owners of the property via Title? Right? Nope. So who's ae to cross check the trustee?? Just sayin

Hallo Dmdmd2020 I have always appreciated and followed your DD very much and found the last summary very interesting. Even if I don't understand everything I would be interested if you still believe in your calculation from Post #552515 (https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=145703453) and when you expect that the Escrows Class22 will see the first payments?

Thank you very much for all your efforts to inform us!

I still see your estimated $44 / U escrow coming in the near future. Surely hope it happens!

Thanks,

What’s to keep them from being transferred out of Delaware so that they fall out of protection?



...a beneficial owner's interest in a DST is protected from all judgment creditors of such beneficial owner so long as the trust assets are held in Delaware by a bank or trust company.”

Dmdmd2020, as always exceptional fact-finding and due diligence. Your information by far is and has been the best ever produced consistently on these forums. Thank you very much.

I too have been speaking of (DSTs) Delaware Statutory Trusts and how so much was transferred into these by opening a Delaware 1031 Exchange, dissolving Calif 1031 Exchange on 12/8/2017, dissolving WMIIC on 1/18/2018 then Long Beach, WaMu Capital Corp, WMMSC, WMAAC and one other WMB subsiderary merged with JPMC on 12/8/2017 as well.

I have often said the road to riches in this WaMu case is that “All Roads Lead to DSTs” and by tying this together the way you have proves several actions in my view and they follow.

1) Actions were taken end of year 2017 and beginning of New Year 2018 for tax attribute reasons

2) I believe JPMC paid for the aforementioned and billions placed in DSTs which would be in the court sealed documents we will never see

3) Monies the business has made from running the business since 2008 has been placed into the DSTs as well as our beneficial ownership rights by signing timely releases by 3/2012

4) The last link in chain-of-title to prove ownership are our Markers which show the DST Trustee with GOD-like powers is W. Kosturos which has ultimate authority over the processes and controls of the DSTs

5) I believe this also puts to rest anybody thinking COOP gets assets without paying for them as all of the former assets/cash are owned by Marker Holders which are controlled by the Delaware Statutory Trust

6) I do not believe we will see any LARGE STYLE monies until the Bk case is closed and then some several months thereafter which in my view puts our timeline to see monies between March and October 2020

Quote: "1) WMI owns 100% equity of WMIIC, not the assets of WMIIC. Thus WMILT/WMI Escrow Marker Holders owns 100% equity of WMIIC, not the assets of WMIIC."

Remember what the POR or the LTA stated???...that all assets of WMIIC were contributed to the WMILT, except for the equity interests. WMIH received 100% of the equity interests of WMIIC, not the assets. Could the LT have played some shenanigans with WMIIC assets by transferring them to DST's?, yes because it had no Creditors in bankruptcy. Unfortunately that scenario is quite a stretch.

Hello Dmdmd2020,

I'm sure you're very busy with your extensive research. I always like to read your excellent DDs. Nevertheless I would also be interested from time to time in your assessment of the amount of expected payments and the possible timing.

Of course I see this only as a pure estimation of your facts at the present time.

Thank you very much for your past and future efforts!

Per the Delaware Secretary of State website:

https://icis.corp.delaware.gov/Ecorp/EntitySearch/NameSearch.aspx

Thackeray III Bridge, LLC was incorporated: November 17, 2011.

Registered Agent: CORPORATION SERVICE COMPANY


IMO...my conclusions as of May 06, 2019:

1) Thackeray III Bridge, LLC is aka CSC Trust Company of Delaware (resident trustee)

2) Kosturos (liquidation trustee)

3) Beneficial owners of Thackeray III Bridge, LLC are the WMI Escrow Marker Holders

4) Thackeray III Bridge, LLC was incorporated in Delaware on November 17, 2011

5) POR 7 mediation didn’t start until December 2011.

6) WMIIC was able to transfer all WMI non-banking assets (i.e. retained interests in MBS Trusts created by WMI subsidiaries, mineral rights, CDS, real estate, etc) into a DST such as Thackeray III Bridge, LLC before WMIIC was dissolved in January 18, 2018.

7) Per DST Act of 2002:

Per the article by Morris James

https://www.morrisjames.com/newsroom-articles-292.html


“Bankruptcy Remote Characteristics.

A DST is a legal entity separate and distinct from its owners and managers, and this separateness lessens the likelihood that a bankruptcy court will consolidate the assets and liabilities of the DST with those of the trustor.

No creditor of a beneficial owner of the DST has any right to obtain possession of or exercise any legal or equitable remedies with respect to the property of the DST, and a beneficial owner generally has no interest in specific property of the DST.

A DST may not be terminated or revoked by a beneficial owner or other person except in accordance with the terms of its trust agreement. A DST has perpetual existence and will not be terminated or dissolved by the dissolution, termination or bankruptcy of a beneficial owner unless the terms of the trust agreement provide otherwise.

The contractual flexibility provided by the DST Act allows parties to restrict the ability of the DST to voluntarily commence bankruptcy proceedings through the designation of an “independent trustee”. This “independent trustee” may agree in the trust agreement to be responsible for making the determination to seek bankruptcy protection, and any fiduciary duties the independent trustee might otherwise owe to the beneficial owner can be contractually limited. Additionally, in appropriate circumstances, the power and authority of a DST may be limited (e.g., by limiting such power and authority to the preservation of the assets of the DST) so as to render the DST ineligible to file as a debtor under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

...

Insulation Of Trust Assets From Attachment

10 Del. C. §3502(b) ("Section 3502") provides that banks and trust companies are not subject to the legal remedy of attachment, therefore money and other assets in the custody and control of a bank or trust company are exempt from seizure by attachment

Case law has extended the protection of Section 3502 to equitable remedies sought by creditors ("[P]roperty, which is exempt from levy and sale under legal process . . . cannot be reached by a creditor's bill.")

Therefore, a beneficial owner's interest in a DST is protected from all judgment creditors of such beneficial owner so long as the trust assets are held in Delaware by a bank or trust company”

IMO...my conclusions from above article:

A) WMI non-banking assets transferred into a DST cannot be consolidated to the transferor’s (WMI/WMIIC) balance sheet

B) All assets in a DST is bankruptcy remote.

Overall conclusions:

1) WMI transferred all assets to a DST like Thackeray III Bridge, LLC (which are bankruptcy remote),

2) WMIIC was then dissolved on January 18, 2018 (without any assets upon dissolution),

3) assets within the DST will be returned to WMI Escrow Marker Holders when the BK cases are closed.

4) FDIC has no control of the assets in a DST such as Thackeray III Bridge, LLC.

5) it is true that the BK estate (WMI/WMILT) does not have any hidden significant amounts of assets because they are in a DST such as Thackeray III Bridge, LLC.


Draw your own conclusions!

I GUESS its just "WHEN" !!!!

IMO...conclusions as of December 08, 2018:

1) WMI owns 100% equity of WMIIC, not the assets of WMIIC. Thus WMILT/WMI Escrow Marker Holders owns 100% equity of WMIIC, not the assets of WMIIC.

2) WMIIC did declare assets

3) upon dissolution, WMIIC owned no assets.

So, why is this so important?

IMO...WMIIC was or it became a Special Purpose Vehicle/ Special Purpose Entity (SPV/SPE)

The following is a description of what a SPV/SPE actually is, and how it is required in securitizations of assets.

The following are cited from “Securitization: The Financial Instrument of the Furure” by Vinod Kothari (2nd edition 2006).

3) There was no accounting of any kind regarding the 115 Subs that were under the heading: "List of WAMU Subsidiaries that do NOT have a line item in the A/L Statement"

___________________

IMO...My conclusions as of 07May2019:

1) Take notice from above list:

"84) Thackeray Funding Corp.

85) Thackeray Funding Partners

86) Thackeray Holdings Corp."

2) The current State of Delaware Division of Corporations website:

https://icis.corp.delaware.gov/Ecorp/EntitySearch/NameSearch.aspx



Thackeray Funding Corp.
Incorporation Date: 12/1/2006
Registered Agent: Corporation Service Company
Address: 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE, 19808
Phone: (302)636-5401

Thackeray Funding Partners
Incorporation Date: 3/23/2007
Registered Agent: Corporation Service Company
Address: 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE, 19808
Phone: (302)636-5401

Thackeray Holdings Corp.
Incorporation Date: 2/9/2007
Registered Agent: The Corporation Trust Company Corporation
Address: Trust Center 1209 Orange St., Wilmington, DE, 19801
Phone: (302)658-7581

Thackeray III Bridge, LLC
Incorporation Date: 11/17/2011
Registered Agent: Corporation Service Company
Address: 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, DE, 19808
Phone: (302)636-5401


Two of the three previous WMI Subsidiaries (Thackeray Funding Corp., and Thackeray Funding Partners) share the same Registered agent address and phone number of Thackeray III Bridge, LLC.

IMO...I firmly believe that Thackeray III Bridge, LLC is the DST that holds the WMI non-banking assets (i.e. retained interests in MBS Trusts that WMI subsidiaries created, mineral rights, real estate, Credit Default Swaps, etc.) that were transferred beginning on November 17, 2011 and concluded all transfers of assets prior to dissolution of WMIIC on January 18, 2018.
