zeus, nothing can be totally proven because there is so much under seal and two months worth of mediation. Do you REALLY think they talked only about shares in Newco that had no proof of being worth anymore that a fifty cent shell company and a few billion in tax attributes? These people were forced to a trial that was deemed "colorable" even by this sham court which would have surely meant prison time had they not settled this to Susman/Willingham's favor.
Think about what Jesse James did with the loot when they robbed from banks. They took it back to their hideout and divided equally. So what do you think the Senior Noteholders and JPM did when they divided up over fifty billion in cash which included over a 350 billion dollar viable and solvent organization?
Do you really think they only took a few tax attributes that were not even available at that time or divided the stolen organization a little more evenly. When you understand this, then you will understand what the Senior Noteholders were REALLY after when they almost went to prison fighting for and I might add, yes, they lost to Susman/Willingham. Monies will be coming to escrow share account owners accounts before year end, assuming they do not move out the final closure of the P&A!
