Rotella may have had that on his mind in a letter sent to the media.
He called the lawsuit "unfair and an abuse of power. I believe this may be a way for the FDIC to collect a payout from insurers who provided officers and directors liability coverage for the time they worked at WaMu," said the letter.
Rotella needs to get up to speed on D&O insurance. They don't pay out on fraud charges and haven't since the S&L mess back in the 1990s.
The FDIC proves fraud in this civil case and he is on the hook imo.
