Da kann man ja mal paar Randnotizen loswerden
Zumindest bis December 2012 war auf der SG Seite der WAMU Fall nur spaerlich erwaehnt. Lediglich bei Nelson wurde erwaehnt, das er in 2010 Anwalt der Woche wurde, da er bei Mary alle Antraege durchgebracht hat , den Fall in ein Chaos gefuehrt haette und wohl eine Wende herbeigefuehrt haette.
Ansonsten wurde WAMU nirgends erwaehnt.
Hab heute mal auf der SG Seite geschmoekert, und siehe da, nu wird auch bei Sargent der WAMU Fall erwaehnt.

Zuerst eine Lobeshymne von Willingham.
I cannot say enough about Edgar’s skill at trial, from his presentation to his insight and anticipation of the opposition’s thoughts he is the complete trial lawyer. Indeed one rarely experiences the shear raw intelligence that Susman Godfrey’s trial lawyers possess. If I find myself at trial in a bankruptcy case or any other high stakes litigation, Edgar and Susman Godfrey will be at the top of the list.
--Michael Willingham, Chair of Washington Mutual Equity Committee
Er koenne gar nicht genug Sargents Faehigkeiten vor Gericht betonen, von seiner Presentation bis zu seinem Verstaendniss zum Vorrausschauen der Gedanken der Gegenseite. ist er ein umfassender Rechtsanwalt. Falls er sich mal vor Gericht finden wuerde, waere Sargent und SG ganz oben auf seiner Liste.

Sargent has been litigation counsel to the estate or to major claimants in a number of the largest bankruptcies in the country over the past ten years. These cases include Washington Mutual (representing the Equity Committee), Hostess (the baker’s union), Tom Petters’ Ponzi scheme (major creditors), Chrysler (the estate), Lehman Brothers (Lehman’s European brokerage), Metropolitan Mortgage/Summit Securities (the estate), and Boston Chicken (D&O insurer).
Sargent’s successful representation of Washington Mutual’s Equity Committee was widely reported in the press, including Reuters, Blooomberg, and the Wall Street Journal. In two multi-week plan-confirmation hearings, Sargent served as co-lead trial counsel, opposing plans that would have wiped out shareholders. Although both plans were supported by the debtor and by all major creditors, the Court rejected both plans after the trials. Sargent then negotiated terms of a new plan that distributed over $100 million in value to shareholders, including 90% ownership of the reorganized debtor.
Sargent has represented bankruptcy estates in litigating audit malpractice, fraudulent conveyance, officer and director liability, and breach of contract claims. He has led investigations by estates into potential claims in each of these areas as well as securities violations and other causes of action. He has litigated matters in bankruptcy courts across the United States, including Arizona, Washington State, Delaware, and the Southern District of New York.
With a team of Susman Godfrey attorneys led by Steve Susman, Mr. Sargent represented a consortium of eighty financial institutions in claims against a big-four accounting firm. Mr. Sargent's clients had loaned $2.1 billion to fund a merger and later learned that the borrower's financial statements had been inaccurate. The case settled the day before jury selection was to begin on terms favorable to Susman Godfrey's clients.
Bla, bla ………Ueber Sargents erfolgreiche representation des EC,s wurde weitreichend in der Presse (inclusive Reuters, Bloomberg, Wall Street Journal) berichtet.
Er haette 2 PORS, die die Shareholder ausgeschlossen haetten erfolgreich wiedersprochen,
Und haette dann an dem neuen Plan erfolgreich mitgearbeitet….bla, bla
