See, this is what I have been saying. I believe many people try to "apply their own scale" on these settlement values. Yes, these settlement values are INSANELY LARGE amounts of money, but when you look at them from a retail point of view (scale), these numbers APPEAR INFLATED or IMPOSSIBLE.
If you think $40 BILLION dollars is outlandish, please try to remember that JPM/FDIC stole WAY WAY more than we are discussing here as a settlement! What about THOSE numbers? When JPM/FDIC started this debacle, you can imagine them saying: "Gee, we are going to steel a company worth $300 Billion dollars from these guys!" That is ALSO Billion dollars with a B!
So,...I guess my point is this:
If JPM/FDIC STOLE "Billion[s] of dollars with a B", why should WMI not expect reparations to also be "Billion[s] of dollars with a B"?
Good Luck C!
