I can say with confidence that any dollar amount awarded to Wamu over the price that the all mighty crooks JPM paid, would do nothing but prove that wamu was illegally seized. That would almost guarantee that any and the majority of lawsuits that Wamu filed against the FDIC and JPM were VALID. I can also say that if Wamu was to get any amount over what was paid for them, that you can expect that all classes of wamu stock will be paid. Keep in mind that this wont be any money out of Wamus pocket. This will all be courtesy of your friends at JPM and the FDIC. The scenario would be that Wamu gets the fair dollar amount of all their assets that were seized or they are to be returned to Wamu to do whatever they decided to. It would also mean that any damages awarded to Wamu would be paid to the shareholders and they can pocket the rest. As far as creditors go, the debts arent due immediately. The debtors will be happy to know that Wamu won their battle and gladly accept payment over time. JPM and the FDIC would be forced to pay any and all legal expenses that Wamu accrued. What is the net operating expenses for again? I am sure that would take care of some of the debt, if not all.
