Wise Man. Your dictionary definition of conservertorship is spot-on. The reason it has taken 12 years to finalize the escape route for F&F is that the lawyers have been looking for just the right clause in the FHA legalese that can be deliberately misconstrued to give the term a totally opposite meaning. They will write up a motion to the courts and ppfffettt! the 'conservertorship' changes its meaning to 'confiscationtorship'. And that's how it's done in the US court system!!!
