The judge allowed the EC in only as a 3rd party to the suit. Common shareholders in reality are the low man on the totem pole in a BK proceeding.
I went round and round with some Wamu shareholders on the JPM board here. I pointed out that at the end of the day they would not see a dime out of the suit.
I also pointed out that I don't own either stock. So the basher stuff is rather funny.
The turnover proceeding has not been settled nor has it been dismissed. The proceeding cannot be voluntarily dismissed by the holding company without a hearing unless all parties agree. The bondholders were allowed to intervene and their lawyer has now said that the proposal is unacceptable. So I would expect that the bondholders will put the matter on the docket again for judgment to be rendered since a global settlement was not reached. And once the ec is made a party by intervention motion being granted, the ec will do the same. Thus, the pressure can and will be put on JPM and the fdic once again to reach a better settlement.
