Again; WMI sued the FDIC for $307.2 Billion. About $8 Billion returned back to WMI from the Turnover (+3.9B) and the Exchange Event ($4B) from ‘purchases’ by JPM. Humor; “JPM made a $8 Billion contribution to the Debtor.” The FDIC valuation for WMB and it’s Assets is $299 Billion.
The numbers work! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The Deposit Base is the Definition of a BANK !!!!!
The deposits only become a liability as deposits are withdrawn to cover by the Bank. The deposits are Assets of the BANK for the other functions of the bank to make more money.
Furthermore; the deposit base was transferred to JPM with no losses to the FDIC! Therefore no exposure to WMI/WMB. But JPM needs to purchase the deposit base. That’s because the deposits are Assets.
Think about it; if transferring $188 Billion in liabilities to JPM, how could that have helped JPM? JPMC TEIR 1 rating was only 3.5 and WMB TEIR 1 rating was 7.8 from JPM own 10K. “WMI wasn’t clubby enough.” The FED isn’t Federal.
The Deposit Base is real money/assets and therefore ASSETS NOT LIABILITIES.
WMI/WMB was making a fortune from the ABS Trust that JPM derivative insurance contracts were covering. That is why JPM needed WMI’s money. Because JPM couldn’t cover. Hence; The Derivative Market Meltdown of 2008.
