Which just means the FHFA has to sign off on it with another amendment. This will happen, either that or it will be decades before a release becomes possible.
You and Barron need to come to grips with reality. The NWS is legal, done and over. That money ain't coming back. That money didn't pay down the LP either.
Good, I'm glad that has been established. All except the "stolen money" part. If you want to allege theft in a court go do it, otherwise it's just a fart in the wind.
How is it stealing from shareholders? Common shareholders will have just as many shares afterward as they did before. If the market value goes down as a result, well, that's just the risk a common shareholder takes.
Courts have ruled that the conservatorships, issuance of the warrants and seniors, and the NWS were not takings. A senior-to-common conversion doesn't stand any chance of being rule as one either.
I'm glad you included that last sentence. Why on earth would FHFA not allow it? Said conversion would instantly add $187B of core capital to FnF at zero cost. There is no downside at all to FHFA or FnF.
