If true, what this tells us is the the Hedge Funds did indeed participate in underhanded trading and do not want to be investigated. If I am reading this correctly, I do not think either JPM nor the FDIC are on board with this currently and that is what the litigation fund is for.
For now, we have to remain calm. If this is as huge as it appears to be on the face, I cannot understand why we are still trading at the current level, or for that matter trading at all. You would think there would be a temporary halt until further details are made public.
