JMO, the pre shareholders had/has a lot more to lose than the post shareholders. If a settlement has been reached for Shareholders period, why would they be sealed?
A Share is NOT a Share , is NOT a share, as you put it. NOT in the case.
Yeah that's what i have been thinking and i believe Bop has eluded too, if you sold (pre takeover shares) you need to file against JPM/FDIC. If you have not sold...pre or post doesn't matter. In some ways, post shares purchased actually had a larger risk , ie; buying a BK stock.
