This an opinion...or more like an assumption of what really might have happened. I bet that meeting in judges chambers was to notify Sussman of the gravety of the situation with JPM and what might happen to our financial system if the outcome went as we beleive it should have gone. JPM needed WAMU in order to survive, we all know that. Had Sussman done what he could have done, we'd have been paid but it would have been financial Armageddon, when JPM went under too. I guess you can say our sacrifice saved the country...and maybe the world. So yeah. Sussman probably sold us out. All IMO .
