"In order to exit bankruptcy, you either have to restructure (screw shareholders) or liquidate (screw shareholders...most likely). The same has to happen to exit conservatorship. There is no other way around it."
Unfortunately, I think you are Right! ....The VERY CORRUPT US GubMent/Fed/FHFA/UST/Supreme Court (Because for All Intents & Purposes, these VERY CORRUPT Entities have 'Converged' Into 'The ONE' BUT Just Show 'A Different Face', based on the occasion to the Gullible US Public) has no Concept of "Justice' left anymore in its Body, its Rotten to the Bone AND Has NO 'respect' whatsoever for the Individual US Taxpayer/Shareholder and Has NO QUALMS of seizing their property....BUT the ONLY thing that is "Throwing a Spanner in your Argument/Thinking" is that the UST Has SO MUCH DEBT on its Balance Sheet that it 'cannot Afford to Take More Liabilities' onto its already F!@ked UP, RED Balance-Sheet ---Because ALREADY The "Auctions" of its NEW US DEBT Securities are Failing Left & Right, so much so that it is "Buying Its Own Debt Issuances" and BRAZENLY Claiming That the Auctions "Have been Very Successful"! So ,ONLY & ONLY For this Reason, I expect the UST/FED/FHFA will do a "Recap & Release"
