Hier mal ein kurzer Ausschnitt vom 21. Juli, Tag 7 des CH
Vivek Melwani von Centerbridge wird von Howard Kaplan ( Anwalt der Trust preffered) verhoert.
Hierbei stellt sich fuer mich ganz klar heraus, das die Trader von Centerbrigde mehr oder weniger NUR auf Zuruf gebeten worden sind nicht zu traden.
Ich kann mich noch daran erinnern wie die Hedgies gross verkuendet haben sie haetten alle Regelwerke und wuerden sich dran halten....voll compliance
Es gibt laut Aussage von Melwani nichts schriftliches darueber, das sein Team waehrend der Handelseinschraenkungen nicht traden durfte. Er bestaetigt ebenfalls die Abteilung der Regelueberwachung nicht hinzugezogen zu haben.
Nur ein kleines Beispiel wie ernst die Regeln uebernommen wurden...
1 Q. And you see on July 1st, 2009, you received the summaries
2 of the April term sheets, correct? And Centerbridge then
3 bought some subordinated bonds?
4 A. Uhh --
5 Q. Senior subordinated bonds?
6 A. I see it on your graph but, obviously -- yes. I do see it
7 on your graph.
8 Q. Well, why don't we do this? Why don't you turn to AOC-54
9 which is in the binder with your name on it. This is the
10 trading records in case you have any questions.
11 (Pause)
12 A. What would be easier for me is if we went to the summary
13 page, if that's okay.
14 Q. What number is that, sir?
15 A. I don't know.
16 Q. 36.
17 A. 36.
18 THE COURT: Okay.
19 Q. Okay. Now I'm there. Right? So in senior
20 subordinated -- we're looking at C36 now, sir?
21 A. I am.
22 Q. Okay. And if we go to July, Centerbridge purchased a net <<<<<<<<<
23 of five million of senior subordinated bonds? <<<<<<<<<<
24 A. We did. <<<<<<<
25 Q. All right. And then in August, sir, Centerbridge
Page 39
1 purchased senior notes and senior subordinated bonds?<<<<<<
2 A. We did. <<<<<<
3 Q. Approximately sixty-one million face of senior notes and <<<<<<<<
4 approximately twenty-six million -- it says 26,500,000 face of <<<<<<<<<<<<
5 senior subordinated notes. <<<<<<<<
6 A. We did. <<<<<<
7 Q. Okay. And then in September, sir, you continued to <<<<<<<<
8 purchase senior subordinated bonds, almost fifty-three million <<<<<<<<<
9 face? <<<<<<<<<
10 A. We did. <<<<<<<
11 Q. And those appear to be the only purchases for those three
12 months, correct?
13 A. Again, yes. They weren't single purchasers but yes.
14 Q. Well, there were a number of trades. But those were the
15 only purchases made during those three months?<<<<<<<<<
16 A. They were the aggregate of the trades, the net aggregate
17 of the trades -- of numerous trades made during those months.
18 Q. But you didn't purchase any other securities during those
19 three months, correct? <<<<<<
20 A. We did not. <<<<<<<
21 Q. Now, sir, you suggested yesterday that you -- it wasn't
22 clear to me. Restricted trading I think is the word you used
23 on August 18th, 2009 after you received the debtors' proposal,
24 is that correct?<<<<<
25 A. Yes. We decided <<<<<

1 THE COURT: Can you speak up?
2 MR. KAPLAN: Oh, I'm sorry.
3 THE COURT: What did you say

5 tell me to speak up.

7 MR. KAPLAN: I'm sorry.
8 THE COURT: On what date? <<<<
9 MR. KAPLAN: August 18th, 2009.<<<<
10 Q. I think your testimony yesterday was after receiving the<<<
11 debtors' proposal, Centerbridge restricted its trading.<<<

13 Q. JPM's proposal.<<<<<
14 A. Once we received JPM's proposal, we decided not to trade.<<<<<<<<
15 Q. Well, now, was there a formal restriction in place at

20 manual, correct, for restricting trading of the phone? <<<<<<<
21 A. Yes. <<<< !!!!!!! <<<<<<<
22 Q. Did you implement that procedure? <<<<<<
23 A. The way we implemented that procedure was we would tell <<<????
24 everyone on the team that we were restricted including the
25 trader. And we decided not to -- my only point is when we
Page 41
1 talked about it then, it wasn't that we made the decision that
2 we were legally restricted. We decided that, to be
3 conservative, we shouldn't trade. <<<<<<
4 Q. Did you restrict under your policy, sir, formal
5 restriction of trading at Centerbridge?<<<<<<<<
6 A. Yes. <<<<<<
7 Q. Okay. And you followed all the procedures in your manual

10 that we were not trading in Washington Mutual securities at
11 this point. <<<<<< Haben dem Team gesagt zu dieser Zeit nicht zu traden..
12 Q. Did you follow your procedures, sir? Did you go through

23 the summary on July 1st, correct? <<<<<<<<<<<
24 A. Yes. We didn't view it as material.<<<<<<< Peng!! Sie haben es nicht als Material angesehen.
25 Q. But you didn't have that conversation? No restriction.<<<<<
Nachdem sie das April termsheet von JPM erhalten hatten, gab es ebenfalls nichts schriftliches darueber, das nicht gehandelt werden durfte. Auch nicht zusammengefasst am 1. Juli.
