New organization to aggressively grow middle-market presence through strategic acquisitions and investments


The goal of Alliant Americas is to create a new standard of excellence in middle market insurance solutions.

Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) January 09, 2014

Alliant Insurance Services (www.alliant.com/) , the nation’s largest specialty insurance brokerage firm, has launched Alliant Americas, signifying an aggressive growth strategy for its commercial business. The new organization will expand Alliant’s middle market presence through strategic acquisitions and investments.

This expansion strategy will be built upon the foundation of our existing middle-market business, which stands in a position of great strength.”

Alliant Americas’ acquisition criteria will place a high value on companies in populous areas throughout the United States with a proven history of growth and a strong management team. The organization will be led by Sean McConlogue, who will serve as President of Alliant Americas and be responsible for the strategic direction and leadership of the group.

The pieces are coming together nicely for them.

Night,

Do you know how much KKR paid for Alliant to Blackstone in 2012?  Blackstone paid 1.1 billion to purchase Alliant in 2007. I am curious to know how much is Alliant worth today? How much capitalization WMIH need to have to do this deal.
--------------------
Zitat Nightdaytrader9:
Since KKR announced they were acquiring Alliant Insurance in Nov 2012, Alliant has hired 12 Vice Presidents and acquired 3 other companies.  See Alliant Press Releases below, link from their website, at bottom.  

They also have several vacancies, "Director, Mergers & Acquisitions Business Development- Insurance Industry," also from their website..

Maybe nothing but looks like KKR's Alliant Insurance is really growing...

What is 'Mortgages held in Portfolio'?     http://www.brokeroutpost.com/reference/28593.htm

"Portfolio Loans

Portfolio loans are mortgages that are held as an investment by the lender. Usually they hold on to the loan because it doesn't fit the underwriting guidelines for investors on the secondary market.  (i.e. securitized, packaged and sold for secondary market)

There really is no advantage to having your mortgage held by a portfolio lender. The rates are usually the same the only difference is that the mortgage usually will not be sold off many times over the life of the loan.

Many times a portfolio lender will have programs or different guidelines that are not typical of loans that are sold on the secondary market which follow FNMA and FHLMC guidelines. Therefore you may be able to sometimes obtain a certain home loan program that you may not normally be able to obtain due to your certain situation, by going with a lender that offers a portfolio loan.

Portfolio loans are mortgage loans in which a lender will loan their own money and have minimal plans of selling the loan or transferring servicing to another bank or lender. Often times, portfolio loans will have something different to them that makes it unique to another bank such as the mortgage note being based on a different index.

Lenders that are portfolio lenders often have very conservative guidelines. This is because they plan on holding the loan for the long term.

Portfolio lenders are usually more flexible in their underwriting guidelines. When lenders hold and service their own loans, they have the ability to work outside the box and approve exceptions that typical lenders may not.

While portfolio lenders may be more flexible with their lending guidelines, they can be more conservative on things like: the types of properties they lend on, the Loan to Value (LTV) ratios, the appraisal and review. Since they intend to keep the loan, in the event they have to foreclose they want to make sure that the property will resell, quickly, and for at least what they lent on the property.

Using a broker is a big plus here because they can look at portfolio loans and non portfolio loans to find you the best deal along with the product you are looking for.

Portfolio loans are often kept in a banks "portfolio" because they are not readily marketable to Wall Street investors for one reason or another. Because banks take longer to recoup they capital with Portfolio Loans, this type of loans often carry higher interest rates than "cookie cutter" loans.



2) mortgage assets kept in FDIC 'Safe Harbour' during receiverships
'Safe Harbour'.....you must read this........especially the second link.

I found 2 areas where 1) the FDIC has the authority to securitize receivership loans and 2) FDIC provides safe harbor for mortgage pools OFF THE  BOOKS to banks in receivership to protect them from bankruptcy and receivership.  I smell the holy grail trail.

Here another puzzle piece.  It raises a lot of questions and points to new areas of DD.  No wonder there is no court record of Mortgage Pool balances for WMB or WMI - receivership safe harbor allows the bank to keep it off the books for 'protection' from bankruptcy or receivership.


1)     Apparently the FDIC Resolution Trust Corp (RTC) or its affiliates has had the authority to securitize pools of mortgages from receiverships.  History here:  fdic.gov/bank/historical/managing/history1-16.pdf


2)     Even more peculiar is that the FDIC isolates securitized loan pools from a receivership for safe harbor to protect it from bankruptcy/receivership and the Insured Deposit Institution (IDI) is allowed to keep it off
       the books. http://fdic.gov/news/board/10Sept27no4.pdf

"Treatment by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as Conservator or Receiver of Financial Assets Transferred by an Insured Depository Institution in Connection With a Securitization or Participation After September 30, 2010.............

The Rule continues the safe harbor for financial assets transferred in connection with securitizations and participations in which the financial assets were transferred in compliance with the existing section 360.6. The Rule also imposes further conditions for a safe harbor for securitizations or participations issued after a [receivership] transition period......

The Rule defines the conditions for safe harbor protection for securitizations and participations for which transfers of financial assets are made after the transition period; and clarifies the application of the safe harbor to transactions that comply with the new accounting standards for off balance sheet treatment as well as those that do not comply with those accounting standards. .........


The Securitization Rule provided a “safe harbor” by confirming “legal isolation” if all other standards for off balance sheet accounting treatment, along with some additional conditions focusing on the enforceability of the transaction, were met by the transfer in connection with a securitization or a participation. Satisfaction of “legal isolation” was vital to securitization transactions because of the risk that the pool of financial assets transferred into the securitization trust could be recovered in bankruptcy or in a bank receivership. If the transfer satisfied this condition, the Securitization Rule confirmed that the transferred assets were “legally isolated” from the IDI in an FDIC conservatorship or receivership. The Securitization Rule, thus, addressed only purported sales which met the conditions for off balance sheet accounting treatment under GAAP........

Statement FAS 166 provides that transfers of participation interests that do not qualify for sale treatment will be viewed as secured borrowings.....

An FDIC receiver generally makes a determination of what constitutes property of an IDI based on the books and records of the failed IDI. Given the 2009 GAAP Modifications, there may be circumstances in which a sale transaction will continue to be reflected on the books and records of the IDI because the IDI or one of its affiliates continues to exercise control over the assets either directly or indirectly. The Rule provides comfort that conforming securitizations which do not qualify for off balance sheet treatment will have access to the assets in a timely manner irrespective of whether a transaction is viewed as a legal sale.......

If a transfer of financial assets by an IDI to an issuing entity in connection with a securitization is not characterized as a sale and is properly perfected, the securitized assets will be viewed as subject to a perfected security interest. This is significant because the FDIC as conservator or receiver is prohibited by statute from avoiding a legally enforceable and perfected security interest, except where such an interest is taken in contemplation of insolvency or with the intent to hinder, delay, or defraud the institution or the creditors of such institution.....

The Rule also provides that in the event the FDIC repudiates the securitization asset transfer agreement, the FDIC shall have the right to discharge the lien on the financial assets included in the securitization by paying damages in an amount equal to the par value of the obligations in the securitization on the date of the appointment of the FDIC as conservator or receiver, less any principal payments received by the investors through the date of repudiation, plus unpaid, accrued interest through the date of repudiation......



3)  Purchase and Assumption Agreement section 3.1  -  "a"ssets within "A"assets  (certain assets of WMI subsidiaries not sold with the "whole bank")

It's been right there in the P&A for 6 years.  Section 3.1.  "Assets" sold versus "assets" not included in the sale.

The assets WITHIN EACH of the Asset subsidiaries of WMB were not part of the sale price.  One of a few valuable things this includes is mortgages held in portfolio throughout various WMB subs such as WAAC, WMMSC, WMBfa, WMBfsb, etc.  

This is not including and on top of any assets WMI holds, because we all know that holding company assets can't be illegally seized, but can be held in safe harbor by the FDIC per it's mandate, to protect those assets from creditors in bankruptcy.

also.....
WMBfsb is missing about $40B of money that wasn't retail customer deposits.....is that a "A" or "a"

Etc. etc.


4)  FDIC has plenty of third-party professionals to help reconcile the WAMU receivership

Here is an interesting list of every sub-contractor hired by the FDIC to handle all receivership assets such retirement plans, mortgage securities, loan servicing, overseers of loan servicers, REO, financial advisory of portfolio assets, FDIC financial compliance review contractors, etc.....  read these descriptions if you think nothing is going on.
https://www.fdic.gov/buying/goods/...ontractorContactInformation.html
To MB posters who say the FDIC isn't on top of reconciling receivership assets.....A LOT of eyes and big names and professional liabilities are on it.  It's not like Red Green and duct tape are running cleanup.

Furthermore, there's WMI's books prior to seizure, there's IRON MOUNTAIN data storage, etc.  I'd settle for values from WMI's 2007 filings.  There's plenty for SG/MW/WMILT to know when to open a can of subpoena whoop ass, if the cash register doesn't open far enough.



Good thing LT didn't release 'certain claims' against FDIC-R......

Glad to see your change of heart and mind.  Now as for your question.  If WMI-LT were the only entity involved, it wouldn't matter and assets can be discussed.  After all, escrow shares are signed, sealed and delivered...no trading.  However, if you discuss assets when other entities BESIDES WMI-LT are involved, especially entities that trade on a market....well that's material information right which amounts to INSIDER trading right?  Pretty hard to put up walls when you're chairman of the board and sitting on the LT too right?  That's why MW's lips are tightly sealed.  (ask AAOC, they weren't so good at putting up walls).  The connection is there, just a matter of taking advantage of it.  KKR and CITI are betting $600 million+ not on WMIH, or its NOLs, despite what anyone else says.
--------------------
Zitat dixdeau:
I hope that you are removing assets from your projections which need to be liquidated to meet FDIC-R's responsibilities to creditors superior to escrows.
--------------------
Zitat kinged:
Well, I am definitely not sure who may be superior to the escrows within the WMI-LT which represents the estate.  WMB bondholders likely have a claim to the $1.9b payment by JPM.  Beyond that, I am not sure.  If assets are deemed to be outside the reach of BK claimants and end up with the estate (that is, the WMI estate after BK emergence), it may be that these assets are outside the reach of WMB bondholders.  The only creditors that remain may be those within the payout matrix which is going to be a minor amount before reaching equity.

If there are even only $40b in mortgage value held in portfolio that are still left from the seizure, where will it go if JPM did not get it (as many of us believe now.)  It sure looks like it comes back to the estate.  What about the rest of those mortgages that may have been paid off, foreclosed upon, refinanced, etc.  Even if you call the rest even with no available cash, you are still talking about $40 BILLION.  This $40b could be $50b in total mortgages outstanding with $10b paid and $40b still owed on those loans.

Assuming limited liquidity, the fair value of those mortgages could be $30b (that is only 75% recovery rate on the balance of those loans.)  This could mean that WMIH issues notes to WMI-LT for $30b taking possession of assets that could be worth as much as $40b.  Plus, WMIH will be collecting interest on those loans as they mature.  Just taking this one example, WMI-LT escrows will likely get $30b over time from WMIH as the loans are converted to cash and WMIH itself stands to gain as much as $10b on the remainder plus interest.

In this "too good to be true" example, WMI-LT interests are looking at an unbelievable return.  This would amount to something like $3000 per P preferred share if my numbers are correct.  1000 P shares gets $3mm over time.  5000 P shares gets $15mm over time.  WMIH could end up with $5-10b just from this one transaction to handle these mortgages.  Even with 600mm shares outstanding, that is over $8 per share not considering WMIH operations otherwise.

I am having a difficult time processing this like many others.  Where are all those WMI mortgages held in portfolio.  If JPM did not "purchase" the actual mortgages, then they must be with FDIC-R.  Since we know that the mortgage industry recovered significantly and we have seen it first hand in WMMRC's performance as a reinsurer, we can be sure that this bundle of mortgages are worth quite a bit.  Can WMB bondholders lay claim to any value from these mortgages?  Remains to be seen.  If these mortgages are with FDIC-R as many of us suspect, then they must be returned to the estate in some way.  If the FDIC-R cannot liquidate them, then I am sure WMI-LT will gladly take them and shift them to WMIH in some kind of transaction that benefits both.  Enter KKR and others to provide liquidity to support these mortgages within WMIH and the expertise necessary to take WMIH to another level.
--------------------
Zitat dixdeau:
Claims that WMI as a creditor had on WMB were settled with FDIC in the GSA/POR 7. What is left are claims by WMI's successor based on stock ownership. The FDIC-R protocol is clear that such claims are last in line.

JPMC either took on the FHLB debt (with all other liabilities on the books at the time of seizure and not excluded by amendment to the PA&A) or they did not. If JPMC took on the liability then they took the collateral covering that liability. If JPMC did not take on the liability FDIC-R would be foolish to place themselves in a position of  having to pay $XX billions to FHLB and others from FDIC's own reserves. If FDIC-R has the debt then FDIC-R has the collateral.


Which ever way the non securitized mortgages are parsed there were more than enough assets in the subsidiaries to cover FDIC-R's other obligations with a large surplus for escrows.
--------------------
Zitat boarddork:
Someone forwarded this to me a while back.......I won't mention who unless they want to contribute.

JPM consolidated financials from 2013.  Page 127, first paragraph.
www.jpmorgan.com/cm/BlobServer/...ta&blobtable=MungoBlobs
In addition, from 2005 to 2008, Washington Mutual made
certain loan level representations and warranties in
connection with approximately $165 billion of residential
mortgage loans that were originally sold or deposited into
private-label securitizations by Washington Mutual. Of the
$165 billion, approximately $75 billion has been repaid. In
addition, approximately $47 billion of the principal amount
of such loans has liquidated with an average loss severity of
59%. Accordingly, the remaining outstanding principal
balance of these loans as of December 31, 2013, was
approximately $43 billion, of which $10 billion was 60 days
or more past due. JPMorgan Chase believes that any
repurchase obligations related to these loans remain with
the FDIC receivership.      

Why? because they are only the 'Servicer'?  Noone escapes $10b of repurchase obligations when they gain $165b of mortgage notes.  The only other option is if this $165b is the total of the 'securitized' mortgage portfolio that JPM is servicing.  Either way JPM never became successor in interest according to line 13. of the DOJ/JPM Settlement Agreement

__________________________________________________


This is indeed interesting stuff...my thoughts in blue.

Keeping in mind:   we have always had rights to WMB "assets" within the WMB "Asset" shells sold to JPM in the PA&A  Section 3.1 "Assets"   vs   "assets".  Whole bank is not the whole $320B company.  Also notable, is that the $1.9b JPM paid in 2008, is about 1% of the banking deposits, which seems par for these type of purchases.  I think JPM just bought the bank, anything else (mortgages, etc) they gotta pay book value for or leave with FDIC-R.


"In addition, from 2005 to 2008, Washington Mutual made certain loan level representations and warranties in connection with approximately $165 billion of residential mortgage loans that were originally sold or deposited into private-label securitizations by Washington Mutual. DD Washington Mutual Bank FA - There are some interesting theories that loans originated by WMBfa, which might be the majority of them, stayed with the bank and were never sold - the buyer of the security knew this and was just receiving a % of the shared income on the loan.Of the $165 billion I posted a link months ago from U.W. business school analyzing WMI 's 2007 books.  According to this there was actually $240 Billion in "mortgages held in portfolio" (and of this $25B was packaged but unsold and sitting in WMI before the receivership), so even if $165B complete were "sold" (what if a large % were just deposited in WMBfa as mentioned above, hmmm), where's the remaining $80B?  Is JPM not mentioning it here because that $80B in mortgages weren't sold to JPM? as they were assets of WMI Assets not sold to JPM per section 3.1 of the PA&A?, approximately $75 billion has been repaid WMI had about $80B in Freddie Fannie super liens that the govt has to collect on, so if this amount is repaid, maybe proceeds owed back to the originator, are then repaid against the lein against WMI for what it earlier borrowed.  If true, this is a good thing to get them and other creditors outta the way . In addition, approximately $47 billion of the principal amount of such loans has liquidated with an average loss severity of 59% (so this $47B at 59% loss is really a cash value as its now liquidated, at $30B plus). Accordingly, the remaining outstanding principal balance of these loans as of December 31, 2013, was approximately $43 billion, of which $10 billion was 60 days or more past due (so another $10B to be liquidated will yield another 10B at 59% will bring another $6B in cash).  This leaves an assumed $37B of performing mortgages that JPM is getting income servicing the loans - and the principle belongs to? JPMorgan Chase believes (LOL) that any repurchase obligations related to these loans remain with the FDIC receivership."

1)  $56B minimum? ($25B in unsold mortgage securities  + $36B in cash from liquidations)......just in mortgage value MINIMUM that JPM is claiming to hold, to our estate if JPM is only servicer and the "A vs a" 3.1 PA&A thing.....

2)  Where is the $79Billion in remaining mortgages held in portfolio ($244b per WMI - 165b  per JPM above  =  $79b + 6 years interest, appreciation, refi, purchasers, etc.)?  It's not with JPM as stated above, so it can only be with FDIC-R at this moment.....

1) 56b + 2) 79b =  $130 Billion minimum PLUS interest, appreciation, etc. due back to the LT, and ultimately to KKR/WMIH for leveraging into greater annual returns.

Will WMIH Remain on the OTC While the "B"s Convert ?

Zitat azcowboy:
I have been questioning, whether or not,  KKR & Citi will move to exercise their convertible "B" series preferreds while WMIH continues to remain on the OTC trading platform ?

... Once the 1/5/2015 Rights Offering designated and earmarked cash becomes active, then the B Preferreds convert to common securities in WMIH at what ever amount' is transitioned, either in part or the entire amount and at whatever share price has been determined ...

So, if that ends up being the extent of the plan moving forward, then basically KKR & Citi have injected some $400m and $200m dollars into an, Over the Counter Security' ... the' OTC ...  

Which means that KKR & Citi would now, along with existing shareholders, also be subject to, and invested large sums of money into, this manipulated trading platform along with us, as we have all experienced' ~ and technically, the manipulation allowed on this platform, could just suck their newly invested cash out of the computer controlled systems at will ... again, as we watch the single digit trades etc every day  

... ( I mean, why not just write "Stark" a check a be done with it ? ) ...

I believe there is substantially more to this "Big Picture" ... as I have said numerous times, I doubt the "we believe" disclosed NOL's are the reason for this involvement, IMO, the numbers are to big for that' ... I doubt we are actually going to outright "BUY" anything ... the numbers appear to be to small for that ...

and now, I find it a potentially poor investment future, for KKR & Citi to be investing these large sums of disclosed money into our currently "zero value, non operational, no service or product producing, shell of a company" which is currently being traded on the OTC' platform ...

In my opinion, The future for WMIH, is also multifaceted in the same fashion as our discussions regarding the separation of the WMI Bankruptcy being separate from the WMB seizure' ...

The ... timing ... appears to be to close together for numerous future events to be any coincidence' ...
--------------------
Zitat investorwad:
WMIH "shall" reincorporate to DE within 180 days and WMIH will use "reasonable efforts" to list on a national exchange.  So, listing on a national exchange is not mandatory or a contingency, but I certainly hope we do.
--------------------
Zitat kenwalker:
Were I KKR and believed enough in NEWCO to pour that kinda money into it, I'd take advantage of (OTC) where I was. They can't short, they have a 42.5% cap, and have some killer warrants that I'd use to buy the last of my 42.5%. You've got to assume they have an idea of where and when this is going and why it ain't happen yet ( feels like some kinda bump has been hit that needs a work out ). IT? ................... sorta like a stock repurchase plan, when you think about it that kinda / sorta IT.
---------------------
Zitat azcowboy:
Yep, agreed ... You followed my thought ...

... I have been breaking this down into a forward moving outline ...

"Who is involved"

"What tools do we have to work with"

"How much cash is readily available"

"What values are designated to be returned"

"Why WMIH ? "
--------------------
Zitat watsonmm:
May be why some analysts believe that KKR is about to be on the move despite Energy Exposure and recent miss.

For all these years we've all had a hunch that WaMu was an undervalued asset otherwise we've would have been gone long ago. I don't think folks like KKR / Citi work on hunches but with what has "formally disclosed" I don't see it. They do "see it" and I'm looking forward to seeing what they have been shown.

Ummm, AZ, without any magic or your mystery additional value whatsoever, KKR/Citi got 2/3 of WMIH with KKR's price at just under $2 (including Warrants) and Citi likely around $2.20.  So, we sold them a massive share of our $6B NOL for ten cents on the dollar ($600M) and we paid the fees.  THAT is why they are here. They don't need any additional magic. They got in real cheap, my friend.

Question for you...it's been put out there a few times, but would appreciate your thoughts.  Is there any possibility that the old WaMu charter has somehow been retained by WMIH going forward?  If by any chance possible, that may be one of the things that holds real value on our part and could be a significant contribution to this marriage of sorts.

Yes, I still believe, that will be part of the process, as we move forward on many levels ... we can now see the Bankruptcy and it's forward movement being addressed basically within Disputed Claim Reserves ... Now, as I have posted and provided the linked information, ... when "R" returns to a debtors estate' ~ it returns right above "general unsecured" or in our case Tranche 5' ... R' then takes into consideration any creditor classes that have remained impaired' ... (many of us have researched and dissected these mandates') ...

I still believe this Federal Bankruptcy Court will ... NOT' ... be precedent setting, in that ultimately there was an error' ... and that the ~ "assets really DID exceed the liabilities" ~ Nope there are multiple issues going on within a multi track system' The BK is only one of a few currently' ...

I hope that helped

Back within the end of 2011 thru to the first quarter 2012 ~ there was a lot going on ... One Of' ... the worst things going on at that time' was poorly researched and incomplete information being placed on the internet' by emotional and inexperienced people ... This entire issue was substantially more involved than WMI's Plan 7 settlement, as one recently admitted to on another MB' ... An obvious legal error ? ... Yep ... An error that will cost that individual financially ? obviously YES ... IMO' those choices were two fold ... One wrong, and Two costly'

Real and innocent people followed that internet information and IMO' also made severe financial errors ... NO ONE' to my recollection actually secured a true legal analysis of the dual track' movement of the time ... OUR first indication of the dual track was the examiners inability to access what was WMI's ... While everyone was focused on the WMI BK ? ~ The FDIC was following the law regarding a seized banking structure and its existing agreement with their receiving bank for the seizure of WMB' ...  

the FDIC's mandate, upon the seizure of WMB' ... The literal meaning of an intact PA&A agreement between the FDIC and its receiving Banking Structure ... and the separation of WHAT could be considered within the literal WMI Bankruptcy ... NO ONE' ...

I have no magic ball' ... like everyone, I was given all the same options and / opportunity ... I chose to TRUST ~ Mike W, Equity, and the S&G Law Firm ... not the suggestions by some to do this or that' ...

... I don't want anyone to make any errors' ... currently what is done is done' ... YES' one either received their markers or they did not ... however, there is meaning in the research of WHAT was actually going on ? and accomplished'

Re: WMIH Highlights by Ali Meshkati

Zitat lottosorteo:
If the reference is in regard of recovering the mortgages from FDIC-R, I thought that they would be handled to WMILT and not to WMIH.

From an old (2012) report of T11 Capital : 8 pages
small peace

"What little information is available on WMMRC is available through bankruptcy filings:

www.kccllc.net/documents/0812229/0812229100326000000000009.pdf
WM Mortgage Reinsurance Company, Inc. WM Mortgage Reinsurance Company, Inc.
(
previously defined as “WMMRC”), a Hawaiian corporation and non-debtor,
wholly-owned subsidiary
of WMI
, is a
captive reinsurance
company, created to reinsure the risk
associated with residential
mortgages that were originated or acquired by WMB. Mortgage
insurance for WMB-originated or acquired loans had historically been provided by seven
mortgage insurance companies (collectively, the “Mortgage Insurers”), although currently
WMMRC is party to mortgage reinsurance agreements with only six mortgage insurance
companies. WMMRC entered into reinsurance agreements (the “Reinsurance Agreements”)

Zitat investorwad:
Good observation, Lotto. The problem with the theory that WMIH will somehow profit from the theoretical assets (mortgages?) coming to the LT from the R are many.

-They are separate entities with no existing legal mechanism to allow such a transfer.

-The LT is obligated to LTI holders and not WMIH.

-The LT has several options to outsource the management/liquidation of assets if by some miracle they were to appear.

-By now many converted WMIH holders have already sold out so this idea that miracle assets returned to the LT would not benefit their LTIs is absurd. Sounds like a far fetched WMIH pump.

-I suppose the LT could sell WMIH the miracle R assets, but there would most likely be a bidding process to assure an arm's length transaction.


Hey, Gallagher's mortgage experience would also benefit WMIH in the reinsurance business. We know that many reinsurance businesses are Bermuda and Cayman based and already U.S. tax exempt, but maybe there are changes coming as this administration seeks more "revenue" and a legally federal tax exempt entity makes sense.  What we first acquire will likely foretell our future.

Zitat goldcanyon340:
WMIH currently has a very small number of employees running it's operation.  One investment site indicated two employees.

If the company is going to execute it's plan, it will need a "platform", another words an operating company to execute the strategy it is about to embark on.  JPM took the majority of the Washington Mutual employees with it back in 2008 and thus those employees are no longer available to handle the WMIH future operations.

I tend to concur with AZ that the WMI Holding Company assets the FDIC-R has been overseeing under the P&A will be returned via WMIH and those assets will be liquidated over time for the benefit of the WMILT escrows along with KKR/CITI.   A close examination of the Wamu 10-Q for June 30, 2008 gives an indication of the On Balance Sheet and Off Balance Sheet assets that were held in the non-banking subsidiaries (those that did not go to JPM).  Over the last 6 and 1/2 years much has changed and some many of those assets have been liquidated.  But we are talking about a very large base of assets, something of the size that would be attractive to KKR/CITI.

But the first step is to secure a platform capable of handling assets of a size the FDIC-R will be returning.  Capmark is such a company.  It has a current market cap of just over $612 million and has the capability of handling assets of the size the FDIC-R could be returning.

All that said, we are coming up on a long three day holiday weekend.  Ironically, Capmark (CPMK) has not opened for trading today.
I am sure Gene Davis could speak to the reason why his company's stock is not trading.  Perhaps all this is just speculation on a Friday afternoon.

Zitat goldcanyon340:
The FDIC filings for WMI show positive stockholders equity of $24.37 billion as of June 30,2008.  In the December 19, 2014 8-K (the KKR/Citi investment of $600 million announcement) , WMIH referred to the current NOL's of $7.54 billion.

Taking $24.37 billion and subtracting $7.54 billion ($24.37- $7.54 = $16.83)leaves $16.83 billion of remaining stockholders equity.  This $16.83 billion does not reflect the time value of money, because the $24.37 billion figure is a 2008 number and the $7.54 billion is the Dec 19, 2014 number.

Also note that the $7.54 billion includes the $5.96 billion write off for the stock abandonment in WMB.  

The question then is why hasn't WMI recognized the remaining $16.83 billion write off?  There are two possible explanations: 1) The $16.83 billion will be returned,  2) or the $16.83 billion will require an additional write off.  

Is this the correct way to look at this?

**************************************************
December 19, 2014 8K  page 14

"As of December 31, 2012, WMIHC and its subsidiaries had U.S. federal NOLs of approximately $7.54 billion, of which approximately $5.97 billion was allocated to that portion of 2012 after the ownership change described in the offering memorandum that, if unused, will begin to expire in 2029. We have determined that, as of December 31, 2013, WMIHC and its subsidiaries had NOLs not subject to limitation under Section 382 of the Code of approximately $5.96 billion. Both WMIHC and WMMRC have caused a 100% valuation allowance to be recorded against the deferred tax assets. "

WMI has already written off its investment in WMB with the stock abandonment  The $16.83 billion represents WMI equity in subsidiaries outside of the WMB bank.

The FDIC could be holding assets in excess of the $16.83 billion.  For example, there could be a $40 billion mortgage portfolio that would have $23.17 billion in debt against it  ($40 billion - $16.83 billion = $23.17 billion debt.)  Just using $40 billion as an example here.

WMIH in position to leverage its resources?

Zitat from: myh1668 on February 11, 2015, 12:20:44 PM
Wad I fail to see why we will have a problem buying a company with $500 mil a year profit with just a $2Bil market cap. Maybe u are looking at the profit of those company after tax. A company with a before tax profit of $500 mil is equal to net after tax (assuming 35%) profit of $325 Mil, with us their whole $500 mil is tax free which will result in a gain of 35% profit in year 1. The NOLs is huge.
--------------------
Zitat kinged:
Myh - First, find a company that has a market cap of $2b that is generating profits of $500mm.  That is a valuation of only 4x profits that could be interpreted as a PE of only 4.  Companies with a PE of only 4 are typically in high distress situations meaning that the debt may be unmanageable as one example.  More typically, a company will be valued at 10-12x or even higher.

So, to "acquire" a company generating $500mm in annual profits, you will likely have to pay at least $5-6 billion with a wide range of variance based on that companies overall assets and liabilities/debt and its growth situation.  Using $5b as the cost to WMIH to purchase a company with $500mm in annual profits creates some big problems.

You need to go back and research the restrictions related to NOLs.  Based on discussions quite a while back, it was determined that WMIH could not just be acquired by another company to use those tax benefits by the acquiring company.  Even if WMIH was much larger, it would have to be shown that the NOLs were not the primary or maybe even secondary reason for such a transaction.

WMIH could not just go out and acquire a company to use the NOLs either without meeting certain guidelines.  I believe one of these guidelines had to do with only buying a company up to equal size (fair market value that may be based on market cap, for example.)  This means that if WMIH is valued at $400mm, they cannot just go out buy a company worth $5b.  If WMIH was to do a capital raise, other guidelines come into play which may have to do with not creating an ownership change (greater than 50% change in stock ownership) to protect the NOLs.  There are also restrictions related to how capital is raised.  I remember the discussion that WMIH may have to issue pure preferred shares to raise the capital necessary such as the $5b discussed here as the $5b would increase the market value of WMIH since it is not debt and not convertible.  OTOH, the capital provided by KKR and other investors was a convertible preferred which increases shares outstanding and triggers potential ownership changes.

I am no expert here and others have dug up some nice research about all of this soon after WMIH emerged from BK with those $6b in NOLs.  My financial scenarios showed pure preferred shares as the only feasible way to purchase a reasonably sized company to make use of at least a reasonable amount of the NOLs that would be beneficial to existing shareholders since it avoided huge costs of debt and serious dilution.

Expect that WMIH's target is likely a company that will be valued at less than $600mm and possible as little as $400mm.  Also, expect that this company is unlikely to be creating profits that will do much to use up the NOLs.  More likely, this first acquisition is a step towards a future for WMIH which is likely in the mortgage, distressed assets, reinsurance, and/or similar financial sector.  This first acquisition is necessary to put the foundation and organization in place to move forward to create a "real" company.  After this big step, then it may become more clear as to what WMIH has planned.  Whether it includes a set of follow on acquisitions, buy up distressed assets, or even getting assets from FDIC-R via the WMI-LT remains to be seen.
--------------------
Zitat deekshant:
imo, the key to a target is the leverage as we cannot explore capital intensive business from the amount we have in possession. Online Payment Processing (First Data), Reinsurance comes to mind

In a very simplistic way with zero expense, lets assume we buy/manage an asset worth $100,000 returning $3000 a month as net profit. This means we manage/own 6000 of these units returning annually $216 million dollars a year as net profit with NOLs. Assuming there are 600 million outstanding shares, it commutes to $.36 as EPS. If the stock is trading at a multiple of 20X, then the going stock price amounts to $7.20. Bring the asset down to $50,000 per unit and see to what extent will it trade at ($14.40)

I found this when I was looking into tax free mergers and the >40% jumped out at me.

"The COI (Continuity of Interest ) requirement for tax-free reorganizations requires that 40% or more of the consideration be stock of the acquiring corporation (or its affiliate). In some cases, the parties may want to use less stock consideration but still desire tax free treatment for the stockholders receiving stock consideration."

NOL's are a big deal but I'm thinking that's only one part in this. At any rate NOL's are lost by not paying attention to the rules and looks like our guys are paying attention.
--------------------
Zitat  investorwad:
Sorry, Jay, I must have missed that press release/filing.  

While I do believe debt is about our only mechanism to buy significant EBIT and we have the right partner in KKR to provide said debt, I do not believe it comes before our first acquisition nor does it come without a price.  If the debt does not come before a first acquisition, we can only later add debt within a reasonable ratio of the value of assets we have.  So, if we buy something for $600M for example, we won't be selling billions in debt.  I can see why you are hoping we secure significant debt prior to an acquisition because that would indicate an LBO of a much larger magnitude than our equity offering proceeds could provide, but until WMIH tells us about this debt, it doesn't exist.

There is still about $400M remaining in the $1B equity offering that I hope they don't sell and dilute us even further as that would bring the shares outstanding closer to 800M and leave our original shares worth 1/4 of what they were.  We can spin the dilution any way we like, but at  the end of the day, our shares lose value.  Let's hope we're done with that and WMIH/KKR start pumping in some value after taking so much.
--------------------
Zitat jaysenese:
Here, I'll help you.  It was in the most recent WMIH press release dated January 5:

www.nasdaq.com/press-release/...s-b-convertible-20150105-01067

Quote
Tagar Olson, Member and Head of KKR's Financial Services team, stated .... " we believe that WMI Holdings is well positioned as an acquiror and we believe it is capable of leveraging its resources to drive value as it executes on its acquisition strategy."

Remember, this comes from the WMIH press release, so it qualifies as being "what the company is telling us".

Now, let's read between the lines.   For example, what "resources" might WMIH have available to leverage.    It is a very short list:

1)  money
2)  people / expertise

... and WMIH's Michael Willingham addressed that topic in the same press release:

Quote
Michael Willingham, Chairman of WMI Holdings said ... " With this capital, we intend to continue to pursue opportunities for acquisitions of companies with operations that are complemented by the experience and expertise of our board and management team."

=========================================

Then, as you do repeatedly and recklessly, you simply MAKE STUFF UP and present it in the context of a 'scholarly' post to give it credibility.  You say:

Quote
If the debt does not come before a first acquisition, we can only later add debt within a reasonable ratio of the value of assets we have.  So, if we buy something for $600M for example, we won't be selling billions in debt.
 

No, no, no, that is not what KKR does.   Don't you get this?  Please take the time to read up on what KKR does.   We all remember vividly that you, investorwad, did not even know who KKR WAS when they first appeared here working alongside WMIH, so I can safely assume you are probably still under-educated on what a leveraged buyout firm does, and how they do it.   There have been multiple discussions here of this topic, and many links.  You might have to visit threads started by someone other than yourself to find them.

Jeezus.  I mean, simply, jeezus.  Are you the best they have to throw at us this month?
--------------------
Zitat investorwad:
Sorry, Jay, but as much as you want to read more into these fluff quotes, one can just as easily interpret them for what they are.  "Resources" and "Capital" are pretty generic terms and simply reflect the current resources and capital we now have. Plus Tagar said, "we believe", so according to AZ, that means it can't be factual.  Your interpretation is no better than the footnote cultists. Sorry.

I am glad to see you and the Bop are at least talking about debt and she's dropped the silly magic preferred finally. Thanks for at least keeping it somewhat real.

Wad, if you go back and read my post that started this thread, you have hit upon part of the reason I actually wrote it.  It is really up to interpretation to understand what is meant by WMIH being able to leverage its resources.  Are those resources now KKR and other investors?  That seems contradictory because the investors are supposedly investing because of this as opposed to saying that they are investing to "provide" these resources.

This brings me back to the question of exactly what they were talking about.  Other than investment capital provided by these investors, what else could be considered a resource of WMIH that could be leveraged?

I spent quite a bit of time researching the value of our NOLs quite a long time ago.  I also considered the restrictions that are imposed that limit the ability to build a company that can use those NOLs.  As you and I both did, I believe, was to evaluate the use of debt and cost of that debt to also try to shape a company that could benefit from the NOLs.  Even if you simply raised capital from pure preferred shares to buy a company that was large enough to utilize the NOLs over a number of years, you had to consider the dilution, the interest expense of those preferred shares, and then the present value of the NOLs based on time, cost of money, and tax bracket of WMIH.

It was difficult to find a value greater than about $1 billion for the NOLs in a perfect world.  That was that magic $5 per share based on 200mm shares outstanding inclusive of considering dilution for the "sharing" of the NOLs either with the company that was acquired or the investor providing that capital.  As you can see, based on the deal in front of us, we are not even close to a perfect world situation.

I have not run all the calculations, but one could easily question how KKR and Citi are going to get the kind of returns they desire based on the influx of capital we are talking about here.  No way can WMIH even come close to using the NOLs without much more debt, dilution, and more.  That not only limits our (shareholders) recovery, but the appreciation for the big investors.

I have been puzzled about WMIH for quite some time as to how the company can appreciate in any meaningful way for several more years at a minimum.  Too many steps to go that will include pain in the form of debt and/or dilution.  So, why would KKR and Citi be here unless they see a path forward that is superior to mine?  This, of course, leads me back to the possibility that the FDIC-R has major assets to unwind that belong to WMI, the estate, which is WMI-LT.  The connection with WMIH presents itself as a likely way for both the estate and WMIH to benefit from liquidation of these assets over time.

Zitat myh1668:
Wad, this is exactly why u and I got different valuation. U used the company's profit after tax to calculate the PE which is good but not related to what I am trying to say. We have NOLs that we needed to use up and we need a company with $500Mil BEFORE TAX profit to use the NOLs. I am saying apples and u are saying oranges lols
From what I understand, u are using the PE to demonstrate profits to be used but PE is calculated with AFTER TAX profits.
My company of $2Bil needs to generate $500Mil before tax profits which is $325Mil after tax profits. That's more like PE of approx. 6.15.
Once again, think this thru with me please. We want to buy a company to use up the NOLs. That NOLs is used against BEFORE TAX profits. If u use PE (which is after tax profit) to make ur calculations..... then yes the company will have to be $4-$5Bil.
It doesn't make sense to me to use after tax profits to calculate the advantage of having the NOLs.

A target company with a profit of $500Mil will result in $325Mil after tax profit (assuming a 35% tax rate) last year. If all numbers stay the same, except now that company has NOLs to off set that tax, then the actual company profit is $500Mil, a gain of $175mil/$325mil is 53%....

I can be wrong, just that using whatever PE for our purpose seems misleading. Instead of PE from stock quotes, using before tax number from the earning reports is much better.
--------------------
Zitat kinged:
Myh, I do not know if you are trying to respond to myself or Wad.  Anyway, I understand what you are saying.  Quite some time ago when I discussed valuation for WMIH, I qualified those valuations as not based on a PE ratio and rather on the market cap value of the two entities based on the original value of WMIH, the purchasing value of the acquired company, and the value provided by the NOLs.  From a stock price standpoint, the PPS of WMIH could be more reliant on the profits.  Before digging in further, you have to understand that many stocks have a PPS that does not incorporate a very meaningful PE ratio because of potential growth (FB) or debt risk (OTEL.)

Assuming you have a company that has $500mm in annual profits (completely tax sheltered with the NOLs) and a little over 600mm shares outstanding, you have an EPS of about .80 per share.  A PE of just 10 lends itself to a WMIH share price of $8 and a 15 lends itself to a PPS of $12.  Sounds great!

Now, here is my concern and problem, how in tarnation are you going to acquire or grow a company into one that has $500mm in profits?  Taking a share price of only $8 (PE of 10) means that WMIH has a market cap of close to $5 billion!  How did WMIH get to be a $5b company?  Right now, they only have maybe $600mm in cash to purchase another company.  To be able to buy a company with a market cap of $3.5b (combined with WMIH mc of $500mm and valuing NOLs at $1b to reach a $5b overall market cap after acquisition), you need more than $600mm in cash.  You would need to issue debt of 1.8b and maybe issue 600mm WMIH shares to the acquired company to "pay" for their $3.5b market cap.  A very loose example, but only to prove a point.

Now, WMIH has a $5b company with those $500mm in profits.  However, WMIH now has 1.8b in debt outstanding, almost no cash, and 1.2 billion shares outstanding.  Back out the debt from the $5 billion in market value results in equity valued at $3.2 billion.  In other words, the "enterprise" value of WMIH is $5 billion made up of $1.8 billion in debt currently valued at 100% of face and $3.2 billion in equity figuring no cash in this scenario.  $3.2b / 1.2b in shares outstanding is a WMIH share price of only $2.60 per share.

Here is another issue.  $1.8b in debt will result in AT LEAST $100mm (just over 5% per annum) in interest expense to start until it is paid down.

Now there is only $400mm in profits.  Looking at it your way, $400mm in profits divided by 1.2b shares outstanding is about .30 per share.  At $3.00 per share for WMIH, you have a PE ratio of 10.  So, this whole transaction gave shareholders about a 40% increase in the value of their shares based on current PPS.  That is quite impressive if you think about it.  Plus, the generation of $400mm in profits over time will allow the share price to move higher as debt is paid down and the company continues to grow.  Of course, PPS is severely limited based on 1.2 billion shares.  Even 600mm is quite a bit.

Myh, I provide "real" forecasts and analysis, not some BS pie in the sky numbers that cannot possibly work.  I will say that Wad, as much as some posters dislike him, at least tries to look at it all from a neutral perspective and evaluate the situation for what it is for WMIH.  I am not saying that I know it all and surely there are going to be differentiations in the way this whole thing evolves.  Yet, I am sure that my numbers are very close what will happen here.  A PPS for WMIH of $20 or even $10, for example, is incredibly unlikely considering 600mm shares outstanding with more dilution possible over time.  Of course, if you want to consider that FDIC-R has billions of non-cash assets that are returned to WMI-LT and flow to WMIH in some beneficial transaction to both, then my forecasts are meaningless because this presents a whole different set of possibilities.

This all brings me back to the argument that KKR and CITI sees something beyond NOLs.  If they are looking for 300-500% returns or greater, they are not going to come from WMIH acquisitions over time to use up some NOLs.  There has to be something more.  If they are looking at maybe 100% returns over time an are trying to form a company as a tax shelter, then WMIH moving to $3-4 over time is all they are after and the type of scenario I presented makes sense even though it will likely be in steps to get there.

Kinged, it really is the NOLS that has their interest. KKR will have almost a 50% interest in an entity that is Federal tax exempt for up to 6 BILLION of taxable income. Doesn't happen every day.

And, how much did they pay for said interest?  Yeah, at that price, it really is the NOL.

Kinged: "This all brings me back to the argument that KKR and CITI sees something beyond NOLs"

People need to ask themselves, were it truly "it is what it is" and you were KKR / Citi would you have bought into NEWCO? Do you think KKR / Citi didn't do their homework?

No matter the numbers you still have to deal with percents. You have to share 57.5% to get 35% tax write off.


KKR did their homework, that I sure of. What I'm not sure of is just what they "found" that made this deal a go. I've pointed to hidden value "unicorns" for years, KKR sees this - most likely been shown - what we've suspected. That's all I'm saying other than you can't make the math work without adding in additional / hidden / magical / unicorn value. I see it, it been shown and linked buy a number of folks and those that want to read along are seeing it also and were that just delusional thinking then KKR / Citi needs to be added to the duped list.

Zitat deekshant:
King, I'm taking your words out of context and raising a question to all with regards to a possibility that "non-cash assets returned to WMILT will flow to WMIH" given that KKR+Citi have a plan with respect to that.

Are we saying that one of them (Mike Willingham, Rosen, Sussman, FDIC, Blackstone...) communicated this info on behalf of WMILT to the benefit of WMIH to solicit capital/merger/acquisition to KKR, Citi and others. I seriously doubt this ever took place to generate interest of our partners. I think this is going way beyond insider info because this fact doesn't yet exist on paper and even if an outsider is privy to that info, he wouldn't speculate and invest $600 million on this unproven knowledge.

The purpose is to assume that it is true and then question if it is possible. I'm not negative at all but at the same time I want to question everything thats plausible to see if it makes sense

e: WMIH in position to leverage its resources?

Zitat kinged:
Deek

Look at it this way.  If the FDIC-R did seize value that belongs to WMI that was not part of BK proceedings, then all of the insiders would have known of this.  The FDIC-R did not necessarily "illegally" seize these assets by the way that the procedures are written.

The debtor represented by Rosen, etc., and AAOC surely knew what was taken and what went to JPM, what may have belonged to WMI, what was left with WMI, and what was sitting with the FDIC-R.  They did NOT want the amount sitting with FDIC-R to ever get exposed because they wanted it for themselves by getting the estate.  This is why they tried so hard to prove that equity was never in the money.

Mike Willingham and Susman, etc. had to piece it all together not having access to what the debtor and AAOC may have known.  I believe that they figured it out because they tried to work their way towards these assets.  However, the examiner and the Judge did not have jurisdiction to access this information to even place a value on anything within the receivership for the benefit of the estate.  As I have put it, anything within the receivership that did not go to JPM involving an exchange of value ($1.9b for x assets/liabilities) was outside of BK jurisdiction.

This put more pressure on equity.  They had to prove that they were in the money without the benefit of the value that may be sitting behind the curtain within the receivership.  Equity ultimately won via a major concession by AAOC to share WMIH and the estate (WMI-LT) with equity.  TPS that fought for only a paltry 5% more may prove to be a huge difference over time.  At the time, many of us thought that the 5% concession was very weak.  Did TPS receive any information as to why the deal may have been a good deal and that just getting another 5% made it a much better deal?

Anyway, back to your question about how WMIH fits in here and how KKR and Citi could be basing their investment decision on that fit.  MW obviously knows more than all of us on this message board.  He was there shaping this result whereby the WMI-LT would represent the emerging estate and WMIH would be the emerging company from the former WMI.  The WMI-LT and WMIH are connected at the hip.  Just look at the structure of the RON's.  Heck, they even share office space.

We can only guess that discussions have occurred behind closed doors as to how the FDIC-R will unwind assets after the closing of the P&A agreement with JPM.  A plan may already be in place that involves the FDIC-R, WMI-LT, and WMIH.  If you believe any of this, you have to believe that MW would have discussed this in confidentiality with KKR and Citi as potential investors.  Regardless, there is still risk as to the outcome because of uncertainty as the amount of non-cash assets that the FDIC-R may be holding for the estate, the risk of a reasonable agreement finalized between WMI-LT and WMIH to handle those assets, and the organizational and financial structure that needs to be in place within WMIH itself.

Heck, Deek.  If we can see so much of this just from the surface, imagine what all those you mentioned can see with insider positions, access to better information, and expertise in this area.

I just cannot believe I gave up hope at some point.  We were so beaten down that we gave up on what was taken by the FDIC-R that was not given to JPM.  We were told there was nothing for equity and it took an amazing effort just to get shareholders claims to Newco (WMIH.)  Those escrow shares seemed like an afterthought.  Thanks to some here that keep arguing that there is much more, I have been reinvigorated about what I always believed was true in that the FDIC-R took away things from the WMI shareholders that were rightfully theirs.  I just did not understand the "process" to make sense of it - that we could be waiting years and years for everything to unfold.

We all have to remember that this seizure was not a typical seizure of a bank that was illiquid.  It was something completely different.  Their is residual value here that will have to come back to the estate.  How much is anybody's guess.  How WMIH benefits from this is also a guess at this point.  I am sure that KKR and Citi are not here for WMIH and its NOLs.  There is more to the story...

PS - I will never forget about THMJW discussing how she would have concern about the estate being worth, let's say, $10 billion and that it could go to just the Piers holders as the last impaired class considering that their claim for for so little.  I am sure she knew more as well.
--------------------
Zitat deekshant:
Thanks King/Liquid..., I'm still in on the speculation and wanted to touch the subject from a different angle
--------------------
Zitat kinged:
You sure that those assets don't exist?  If you look at the receivership statement, it only includes items related to WMB.  Boarddork and a couple of other posters clearly showed that the mortgage assets are in "safe harbor" and are not recorded within those books at all.  There are mortgages that had not been securitized and sold.  This is likely where the most value lies.

Wad, I already explained how WMIH could end up with the non-cash assets that need to be liquidated for the trust (WMI-LT.)  It is quite simple when you compare it to the RON situation between WMI-LT and WMIH.

Again, WMI-LT passes over these assets to WMIH for "fair" value which is discounted based on risk, time value, etc.  If the total value of those non-cash assets could be $40b over a period of years, the current "fair" value may be $30b.  WMI-LT would get notes for the $30b while WMIH could stand to get $40b if everything went perfectly.  More importantly, these assets now within WMIH will allow it to leverage itself to grow by issuing new business in the mortgage sector.

Go back to 2008 Wad.  Put a value on WMI including all of its subs.  JPM paid $1.9 billion for WMB banking deposits and other assets.  What did they get?  Where is everything else?  It is with FDIC-R, that is where.  So, you are going to tell me that there is nothing left.  You are going to tell me that they did not even have money to pay out much to the WMB bondholders and nothing to the WMI estate.  You are going to tell me that adding the $1.9 billion received from JPM shareholders that the FDIC-R only had about another $1 billion or so to go to the WMB bondholders.  What was WMI's book value in 2008 at the time of the seizure?  To be honest Wad, your argument that the FDIC-R has nothing is the one that does not make sense (unless JPM got everything which we know is not true when just looking at the fact that they only received servicing rights to the mortgages.)
--------------------
Zitat dmac4_2:
I’m not sure why people think JPM only purchased the servicing rights.  IMO they purchased the servicing rights to the mortgages sold to 3rd parties, and the HFI (held for investment) and HFS (held for sale) portfolios.  WMB was trying to sell as much of their HFS portfolio as possible in 2007/2008 but in the end got stuck when the market dried up.  When JPM states in court they only purchased the servicing rights they are talking about a particular loan or group of loans that were sold to 3rd parties with the servicing rights retained by Wamu and subsequently purchased by JPM from the FDIC.  The HFI and HFS portfolios don’t have servicing rights attached.  If a loan is sold from these portfolios it can be sold servicing retained or servicing released.  If sold servicing retained that creates the servicing rights, i.e. the loan was sold but the seller continues to service the loan for a fee but remits the principal and interest payments to the purchaser of the loan. Wamu consolidated most (if not all, other than Ahmanson) of its HFI, HFS and servicing rights into WMB.  I’m not sure what mortgages could have remained on WMI’s books.

What     mortgage assets kept in FDIC 'Safe Harbour' during receiverships

'Safe Harbour'.....you must read this........especially the second link.

I found 2 areas where 1) the FDIC has the authority to securitize receivership loans and 2) FDIC provides safe harbor for mortgage pools OFF THE  BOOKS to banks in receivership to protect them from bankruptcy and receivership.  I smell the holy grail trail.

Here another puzzle piece.  It raises a lot of questions and points to new areas of DD.  No wonder there is no court record of Mortgage Pool balances for WMB or WMI - receivership safe harbor allows the bank to keep it off the books for 'protection' from bankruptcy or receivership.


1)     Apparently the FDIC Resolution Trust Corp (RTC) or its affiliates has had the authority to securitize pools of mortgages from receiverships.  History here:  fdic.gov/bank/historical/managing/history1-16.pdf


2)     Even more peculiar is that the FDIC isolates securitized loan pools from a receivership for safe harbor to protect it from bankruptcy/receivership and the Insured Deposit Institution (IDI) is allowed to keep it off
       the books.
fdic.gov/news/board/10Sept27no4.pdf
"Treatment by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as Conservator or Receiver of Financial Assets Transferred by an Insured Depository Institution in Connection With a Securitization or Participation After September 30, 2010.............

The Rule continues the safe harbor for financial assets transferred in connection with securitizations and participations in which the financial assets were transferred in compliance with the existing section 360.6. The Rule also imposes further conditions for a safe harbor for securitizations or participations issued after a [receivership] transition period......

The Rule defines the conditions for safe harbor protection for securitizations and participations for which transfers of financial assets are made after the transition period; and clarifies the application of the safe harbor to transactions that comply with the new accounting standards for off balance sheet treatment as well as those that do not comply with those accounting standards. .........


The Securitization Rule provided a “safe harbor” by confirming “legal isolation” if all other standards for off balance sheet accounting treatment, along with some additional conditions focusing on the enforceability of the transaction, were met by the transfer in connection with a securitization or a participation. Satisfaction of “legal isolation” was vital to securitization transactions because of the risk that the pool of financial assets transferred into the securitization trust could be recovered in bankruptcy or in a bank receivership. If the transfer satisfied this condition, the Securitization Rule confirmed that the transferred assets were “legally isolated” from the IDI in an FDIC conservatorship or receivership. The Securitization Rule, thus, addressed only purported sales which met the conditions for off balance sheet accounting treatment under GAAP........

Statement FAS 166 provides that transfers of participation interests that do not qualify for sale treatment will be viewed as secured borrowings.....

An FDIC receiver generally makes a determination of what constitutes property of an IDI based on the books and records of the failed IDI. Given the 2009 GAAP Modifications, there may be circumstances in which a sale transaction will continue to be reflected on the books and records of the IDI because the IDI or one of its affiliates continues to exercise control over the assets either directly or indirectly. The Rule provides comfort that conforming securitizations which do not qualify for off balance sheet treatment will have access to the assets in a timely manner irrespective of whether a transaction is viewed as a legal sale.......

If a transfer of financial assets by an IDI to an issuing entity in connection with a securitization is not characterized as a sale and is properly perfected, the securitized assets will be viewed as subject to a perfected security interest. This is significant because the FDIC as conservator or receiver is prohibited by statute from avoiding a legally enforceable and perfected security interest, except where such an interest is taken in contemplation of insolvency or with the intent to hinder, delay, or defraud the institution or the creditors of such institution.....

The Rule also provides that in the event the FDIC repudiates the securitization asset transfer agreement, the FDIC shall have the right to discharge the lien on the financial assets included in the securitization by paying damages in an amount equal to the par value of the obligations in the securitization on the date of the appointment of the FDIC as conservator or receiver, less any principal payments received by the investors through the date of repudiation, plus unpaid, accrued interest through the date of repudiation......



WHERE  Purchase and Assumption Agreement section 3.1  -  "a"ssets within "A"assets  (certain assets of WMI subsidiaries not sold with the "whole bank")

It's been right there in the P&A for 6 years.  Section 3.1.  "Assets" sold versus "assets" not included in the sale.

The assets WITHIN EACH of the Asset subsidiaries of WMB were not part of the sale price.  One of a few valuable things this includes is mortgages held in portfolio throughout various WMB subs such as WAAC, WMMSC, WMBfa, WMBfsb, etc.  

This is not including and on top of any assets WMI holds, because we all know that holding company assets can't be illegally seized, but can be held in safe harbor by the FDIC per it's mandate, to protect those assets from creditors in bankruptcy.

also.....
WMBfsb is missing about $40B of money that wasn't retail customer deposits.....is that a "A" or "a"

Etc. etc.


JPM only purchased the servicing rights of WMI,WMB, WMBFA, WMBfsb, Long Beach, WAAC, WMMSC, etc per the WMB P&A and further confirmed in the DOJ settlement agreement   Line 13. of www.justice.gov/iso/opa/resources/51720131119202421482972.pdf
Whereas certain mortgages held in portfolio were not sold to JPM.

Re: The Platform

Zitat goldcanyon340:
WMILT is a Liquidating Trust.  It's purpose is to distribute funds to the beneficiaries.  If it has assets that are in a non liquid form, it needs a business that is capable of managing those assets until they are turned into cash.  WMIH in its current form does not have the infrastructure in place to handle that task.  Both WMILT and WMIH want to maximize returns for their beneficiaries(WMILT) and their stockholders (WMIH).

I have concluded the reason FDIC-R took all the assets is because the employees that managed these assets were going to JPM anyway.  There would have been no management/employee structure left to service the assets.  JPM took the WAMU employees and then signed a service agreement with the FDIC for managing the non-bank assets using those same WAMU employees that had been managing them previously.
 
The attractive part of this for WMIH is that they should be able to acquire the FDIC-R assets without having to pay the premium which they would have by making acquisitions in the public market.  When WAMU set these assets up originally, they also set up financing for the mortgage pools and credit card pools.  The FDIC-R took the WMI Parent assets and the financing liability associated with those assets.  That original financing is probably still in place on the non liquidated portion of the assets.  Therefore, WMIH may not need to do extensive debt raising when acquiring these assets.

The time is near, $600 million was put on the balance sheet for a purpose other than to collect 3% interest.  It is unusual for a company to raise this much capital prior to an acquisition.  The requirement for WMIH to have a platform will probably conclude fairly rapidly.

The reason I mention Capmark is that they have many of the same players... Gene Davis, Centerbridge Partners, KKR, CITI.

Once again this is just Friday afternoon speculation.

Its demands are backed by the "source-of-strength doctrine" which the Federal Reserve Board issued nearly three decades ago and requires bank holding companies to support their banks financially. "

WMI was meeting FDIC's "source-of-strength doctrine" through Project Fillmore and 'The Letter' dated September 24, 2008, s.wsj.net/public/resources/documents/...sive-e-mails092810.pdf
The difference between WMI-WaMu and other banks was that WMI-WaMu had the cash on hand to be a "source-of-strength doctrine" to WMB as required. The FDIC did not have a "source-of-strength doctrine" argument against WMI-WaMu due to the funding proposed. The $4Billion SJ capital infusion, plus the $6.5 Billion in liquidity contributions. The D&O are ... stop...  'Stay Motion' for the $500MM.

The Tax sharing agreement was stealth-ed into a 'give away' to JPM/FDIC in the 363 Sale that awaits distribution to LT/Escrows with BK closure just like the CRAs.

I'm sure Owlcreek, Holdco Advisors and Vik Ghei, and many other learned the other side of a "source-of-strength doctrine" after reviewing the cash WMI-WaMu was advancing to WMB.

Due to the "source-of-strength doctrine" and WMI's cash on hand, I believe AAOC figured out the 5AT.

Hence, footnote 2; Fifth Amendment Taking. Do I need to re-post Footnote 2?
Ok, I will because I love reading it;
"In its capacity as a creditor, WMI claimed, among other things, that (i) the FDIC dissipated WMB’s assets by selling substantially all the assets of WMB to JPMC rather than liquidating WMB’s assets, and thus the FDIC breached its statutory duty to maximize the net present value return of such assets, and therefore owes damages to WMI; (ii) the FDIC’s wasting of WMB’s assets constitutes a taking for property without just compensation in violation of the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution; (iii) the FDIC’s refusal to compensate WMI for the property taken in the receivership constitutes a conversion of WMI’s property, actionable under  federal law; and (iv) the FDIC’s refusal to compensate WMI of property taken in the Receivership constitutes a conversion of WMI’s property"

Subject: American Banker on HoldCo/Vik Ghei & Misha Zaitzeff/Corus


Hedge Funds Outwit FDIC in Fight for Failed-Bank Assets
www.americanbanker.com/issues/178_136/...assets-1060622-1.html
Seen this article about Holdco Advisors and Vik Ghei who are involved with the Corus proceedings.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has been engaged in a running battle over the past three years with unsecured creditors over rights to assets owned by the holding companies of dozens of failed banks.

The disputes would be unremarkable except for one surprising fact: the unsecured creditors are beating the pants off the feds.

The assets at issue are essentially table scraps left behind by bankrupt banking companies. They include tax refunds, miscellaneous cash balances and claims against management. In some cases these scraps amount to hundreds of millions of dollars.

When the FDIC takes over a failed bank, it typically lays claim to such assets with the holding company. Its demands are backed by the "source-of-strength doctrine" which the Federal Reserve Board issued nearly three decades ago and requires bank holding companies to support their banks financially.

In a recent twist, however, hedge funds have led a group of debt holders in buying up billions of dollars' worth of failed-bank debt at pennies on the dollar. Then they have challenged the source-of-strength doctrine's validity in bankruptcy court with remarkable success.

Their victories have exposed a costly flaw in the FDIC's failed-bank resolution process that threatens its ability to recoup billions of dollars in assets. In the meantime, the FDIC has been relegated to settling some claims for far less than full value and appealing bankruptcy cases it has lost to higher courts. As with the original cases, it appears to face an uphill battle.

"The FDIC has had a hard time convincing the bankruptcy courts that the source-of-strength doctrine meets the requirements of the bankruptcy code," says Paul Lee, an attorney at Debevoise and Plimpton in New York City who represents large domestic and international banks and has written extensively on the doctrine.

The FDIC said it does not comment on ongoing legal matters.

Source of Weakness

The FDIC's right to seize failed-bank assets from their former holding companies has been disputed since the source-of-strength doctrine was first issued. For twenty years, however, it had rarely been challenged. Then the 2008 financial crisis brought the issue back into bankruptcy courts.

In what appears to be the most recent hedge fund victory, a federal judge in May awarded to the company's creditors a $30 million tax refund left behind by the bankrupt Imperial Capital Bancorp. The FDIC has said it may appeal the case to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

To prevail, it will need to convince appeals court judges to make a ruling that contrasts with the victories achieved by hedge fund-led creditors in the bankruptcies of IndyMac, BankUnited, AmFin and others.

The FDIC's argument is straightforward: If a bank was responsible for most or all of its holding company's revenue, its tax refunds should rightfully be the property of the bank and in bankruptcy be granted to the FDIC.

For the bank overseer, the catch is that such cases are decided on the basis of the precise wording of tax-sharing agreements between the holding companies and their banks, which differ slightly in each instance. In cases where the agreements fail to specify that a holding company must return refunds to a bank, bankruptcy judges have been ruling that the assets are rightfully the property of the holding company's creditors and not the FDIC.

These agreements "could easily have said that any refund received by the parent company belongs to the bank. Anylawyer worth his salt could have written it that way," says hedge fund partner Vik Ghei. "They did not say that, and in fact they said the opposite."

Ghei, a 31-year-old New York City native, has invested in the holding companies of over 70 failed or distressed banks. HoldCo Advisors, the fund he co-founded two years ago, has been involved in "virtually every community bank restructuring since the 2008 financial crisis," it said in a bankruptcy court filing last month. It has also outflanked the FDIC in several high-profile bankruptcy court cases in which it has sponsored creditor-friendly liquidations.

Currently, HoldCo owns $1.5 billion of debt in the parents of bankrupt or distressed financial firms. That makes it the largest creditor in IndyMac and owner of debt issued by Imperial Capital, BankUnited and Corus Bancshares.

Ghei's reputation as one of the most aggressive and successful investors in the business has garnered the ire of regulators and state agencies. An FDIC attorney characterized the fund as "a speculator whose views are entitled to no deference" and called its principals "gamblers" in a U.S. bankruptcy court filing. In another case, an attorney for the state of Michigan described the hedge fund's business as "buying up severely distressed debt for deep discounts and picking over the bones for scraps of flesh."

Beginning at WaMu

Ghei's career in dead-bank investing began with the Washington Mutual bankruptcy. Ghei was an analyst at the hedge fund Owl Creek Asset Management looking for investment opportunities in WaMu in September 2008 as financial markets were collapsing.

With a limited background in the field, he was tasked with investing in distressed banks based on his previous work with distressed companies at a private equity firm and as a Goldman Sachs analyst covering financial institutions.

The debt of Washington Mutual Inc., the holding company for the operating bank, was organized in a complex, multi-tranche structure and was trading at deep discounts. Ghei studied the company's corporate structure and realized that behind the debt was more than $4 billion of cash, as well as projected tax refunds.

"The holding company, in theory, was supposed to have nothing," Ghei says. "That's what I think people assumed. People did not realize there were so many assets, or who owned what."

The FDIC seized WaMu on September 25, 2008 after a nine-day bank run and sold it to JPMorgan Chase. On the morning of its failure, its holding company's approximately $4 billion of senior bonds were trading at pennies on the dollar of face value. Ghei had spent the previous night in the office analyzing the company and decided to pounce.

By that evening, the value of the debt he'd acquired had risen to around forty cents on the dollar. Over the next several months, Owl Creek increased its holdings in other types of WaMu debt, eventually becoming one of the holding company's largest creditors.

After one of the most complex bankruptcies in history, WaMu's creditors were repaid at par, plus accrued interest. That made Ghei's trades hugely lucrative for Owl Creek, which earned hundreds of millions of dollars and turned him from an analyst into a partner, Ghei says.

The WaMu bankruptcy also gave Ghei a crash course in how the bankruptcy process works for a bank holding company. He realized that he could potentially replicate the trade that had worked so spectacularly for Owl Creek with the hundreds of banks that had failed during the financial crisis.

Ghei decided to leave Owl Creek to invest in distressed financial firms at Tricadia Capital Management, the hedge fund famous for pioneering the CDO-squared. A year and a half later, he set up HoldCo, with Misha Zaitzeff, a former Tricadia analyst. Despite the large number of bank failures at the time, and bank holding companies with large amounts of debt, Ghei had a tough time convincing potential investors that his investment thesis was viable.

"People said 'Look, the FDIC is never going to let you get this money,'" Ghei recalls. "We were buying things that we thought had a lot of value but the market was basically laughing at us."

Brett Jefferson, who runs the hedge fund Hildene Capital, had serious doubts before investing with HoldCo. "At first I didn't trust him," Jeferson says of Ghei. "Everybody was trying to figure out ways to get something out of these deals, but he's already gotten us some recoveries."

More are likely on the way, if court decisions to date are any guide.

Creditors have prevailed over the FDIC in case after case. In March, a federal judge in Ohio rejected the FDIC's claim of rights to a $195 million tax refund due to AmFin Financial Corp., the holding company for AmTrust bank in Cleveland, which failed in December 2009. That decision followed a September ruling in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit denying the FDIC's claim to $765 million from AmFin's estate.

Separately, a U.S. District Court judge for the Central District of California ruled last year that IndyMac Bancorp's creditors, and not the FDIC, were entitled to its $55 million tax refund.

In 2011, a U.S. bankruptcy judge in Florida awarded the creditors of BankUnited Financial Corp., the holding company for the Florida bank that failed in 2009, the company's $45 million tax refund. In the case of NetBank, the U.S. bankruptcy court for Florida affirmed that the company's $6.2 million tax refund belongs to the creditors. The ruling was later upheld by a U.S. district court in Florida.

A $1 Billion Appeal

The legal scrum over large tax refunds harks back to a 2009 law permitting companies to use losses incurred in 2008 and 2009 to offset taxes paid during the previous five years. All told, more than $1 billion worth of tax refunds are at stake in cases in which the FDIC is either awaiting a ruling or appealing a bankruptcy court verdict.

The agency's victories have been few. In 2011, a U.S. district court in Georgia awarded the FDIC more than $10 million in tax refunds from the estate of Integrity Bancshares. Unlike with many other banks, the tax-sharing agreement between Integrity and its holding company clearly granted ownership to the bank.

In cases where tax agreements fail to stipulate that holding company assets belong to the creditors of failed bank subsidiaries, the FDIC has marshaled a range of legal arguments. They include the claim that the agreements are ambiguous or flawed, and the invocation of decades-old case law involving nonbanks and in which tax agreements are absent.

Bankruptcy judges have rarely been persuaded and delivered some stinging rebukes. In the IndyMac opinion, Judge Sheri Bluebond of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for Los Angeles said the agency was, in essence, throwing up a legal smokescreen through the "sheer number of arguments and theories" it advanced, in order to complicate a straightforward case.

With AmFin, Judge John Adams of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio wrote that the company's tax-sharing agreement "unambiguously" grants the refund to the holding company, and that "the remaining arguments raised by the FDIC," have already been rejected by "numerous other courts."

As the case law against the FDIC mounts, hedge funds holding claims against failed bank holding companies have become bolder in pressing courts to reject the agency's arguments.

That boldness has even involved financing litigation against the FDIC. Owl Creek and two other hedge funds last year agreed to lend the estate of Colonial Bancgroup $15 million to fund legal expenses in the dispute with the FDIC. At stake: over $610 million in tax assets and other claims. One of the loans was structured to pay the hedge funds 15% annually in interest; the other involved the hedge funds receiving between 27.5% and 100% of the estate's litigation recoveries, depending on how much they recoup.

The FDIC objected on the grounds that the estate's case against the FDIC had been dormant for nearly eight months before the hedge funds stepped in. Judge Dwight Williams of the U.S. bankruptcy court for the Northern District of Alabama permitted the loan to go through, and litigation is ongoing.

Among cases where the FDIC could still prevail: the Corus litigation over a $250 million tax refund and the Downey Financial case involving a $374 million refund.

Some observers expect more losses for the FDIC. Creditors "are likely (though not certain) to prevail in all of the publicly tradable cases," wrote CRT Capital Group analyst Kevin Starke, who specializes in failed banks' debt.

The FDIC officials have "a bad argument," and have been losing these cases "because they should be losing them," says an attorney who asked to remain anonymous because he is involved in litigation against HoldCo.

There are signs that the FDIC is softening its stance, having concluded that expensive litigation offers less hope of recovery than do settlements.

In April, it agreed to a 50-50 split of a $3.3 million tax refund owed to Team Financial, which went bankrupt in 2009. Ghei, who helped negotiate that settlement, calls it a "fair" split and says he's hopeful that the FDIC will be willing to strike deals in other cases.

Beyond the current lawsuits, reforming the resolution process before the next round of bank failures is a major issue for the FDIC.

Strengthening the source-of-strength doctrine would require a legislative change and could take years. The banking industry would likely object, arguing that changing the law would make it harder to raise capital. Meanwhile, the FDIC has yet to propose any legal reforms, say lawyers involved in related litigation.

Another possible route for the FDIC would be to pressure banks to sign capital-maintenance agreements. That would involve requiring the directors of the holding companies for viable banks to pledge that they will use the parent's capital to support the bank, even in bankruptcy.

Even Ghei admits that such a move could solve the agency's problems.

"Guarantee agreements are written all the time and are enforceable," he says. "You can do that in a one-page agreement. You can probably do that in two sentences. But it didn't happen."

"Wenn die FDIC einen gescheiterten Bank übernimmt, es erhebt in der Regel Anspruch auf solche Vermögenswerte mit der Holding-Gesellschaft.

Der Unterschied zwischen WMI-WaMu und anderen Banken war, dass WMI-WaMu das Geld zur Verfügung, um eine "Quelle der Stärke Doktrin" zum WMB als benötigt werden. Die FDIC hat keine "Quelle der Kraft-Doktrin" Argument gegen WMI-WaMu aufgrund der Finanzierung vorgeschlagen. Die $4Billion SJ-Kapital-Infusion, plus die $ 6,5 Milliarden in Liquidität Beiträge.

Die Steuerteilenabmachung war Heimlichkeitshrsg. in ein 'Weggeben' zu JPM/FDIC im 363 Verkauf, der Vertrieb dem LT./ÜBERTRAGUNGSURKUNDEN mit dem BK Verschluss gerade wie der CRAs erwartet.

Hedge-Fonds überlisten FDIC im Kampf für gescheitert-Bank Vermögenswerte
www.americanbanker.com/issues/178_136/...assets-1060622-1.html
Gesehen dieser Artikel über Holdco Advisors und Vik Ghei, die mit den Verhandlungen von Corus beteiligt werden.

Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. ist mit einem laufenden Gefecht im Laufe der letzten drei Jahre mit ungesicherten Gläubigern über Rechte auf das Vermögen beschäftigt gewesen, das von den Holdingsgesellschaften von Dutzenden von erfolglosen Banken besessen ist.

Die Streite würden abgesehen von einer überraschenden Tatsache unbeachtlich sein: Die ungesicherten Gläubiger schlagen das Keuchen vom feds.

Das strittige Vermögen ist im Wesentlichen von bankrotten Bankverkehrsgesellschaften zurückgelassene Tabellenstücke. Sie schließen Steuerrückzahlungen, verschiedene Barguthaben und Ansprüche gegen Management ein. In einigen Fällen belaufen sich diese Stücke auf Hunderte von Millionen von Dollars.

Wenn der FDIC eine erfolglose Bank übernimmt, legt er normalerweise Anspruch auf solches Vermögen mit der Holdingsgesellschaft. Seine Anforderungen werden durch die "Doktrin der Quelle der Kraft" unterstützt, die der Bundesreserveausschuss vor fast drei Jahrzehnten ausgegeben hat und verlangt, dass Bankholdingsgesellschaften ihre Banken finanziell unterstützt haben.

In einer neuen Drehung, jedoch, haben Hedgefonds eine Gruppe von Schuldhaltern im Aufkaufen von Milliarden des Werts von Dollars der Schuld der erfolglosen Bank an Pennies auf dem Dollar geführt. Dann haben sie die Doktrinengültigkeit der Quelle der Kraft im Konkursgericht mit dem bemerkenswerten Erfolg herausgefordert.

Ihre Siege haben einen kostspieligen Fehler im Entschlossenheitsprozess der erfolglosen Bank des FDIC ausgestellt, der seiner Fähigkeit droht, Milliarden von Dollars im Vermögen wiederzugewinnen. Inzwischen ist der FDIC zum Festsetzen einiger Ansprüche auf viel weniger verbannt worden als voller Wert und ansprechende Bankrottfälle, die es zu höheren Gerichten verloren hat. Als mit den ursprünglichen Fällen scheint es, einem harten Kampf gegenüberzustehen.

"Der FDIC hat harte Zeiten gehabt, die Konkursgerichte überzeugend, dass die Doktrin der Quelle der Kraft den Anforderungen des Bankrottcodes entspricht", sagt Paul Lee, ein Rechtsanwalt an Debevoise und Plimpton in New York City, der große Innen- und Außenbanken vertritt und umfassend über die Doktrin geschrieben hat.

Der FDIC hat gesagt, dass er sich über andauernde gesetzliche Sachen nicht äußert.
Quelle der Schwäche

Das Recht des FDIC, Vermögen der erfolglosen Bank von ihren ehemaligen Holdingsgesellschaften zu greifen, ist diskutiert worden, seitdem die Doktrin der Quelle der Kraft zuerst ausgegeben wurde. Seit zwanzig Jahren, jedoch, war es selten herausgefordert worden. Dann hat 2008 Finanzkrise das Problem in Konkursgerichte zurückgebracht.

Worin scheint, der neuste Hedgefondssieg, ein Bundesrichter zu sein, der im Mai den Gläubigern der Gesellschaft eine durch die bankrotte Kaiserliche Hauptstadt Bancorp zurückgelassene Steuerrückzahlung von $ 30 Millionen zuerkannt ist. Der FDIC hat gesagt, dass er der Fall an das US-amerikanische Revisionsgericht für den Neunten Stromkreis appellieren kann.

Um vorzuherrschen, wird es Berufungsgerichtrichter überzeugen müssen, eine Entscheidung zu machen, die sich von den Siegen abhebt, die von hedgefondsgeführten Gläubigern in den Bankrotten von IndyMac, BankUnited, AmFin und anderen erreicht sind.

Das Argument des FDIC ist aufrichtig: Wenn eine Bank für die meisten oder alle Einnahmen seiner Holdingsgesellschaft verantwortlich war, sollten seine Steuerrückzahlungen das Eigentum der Bank rechtmäßig sein, und im Bankrott werden dem FDIC gewährt.

Für den Bankvorarbeiter ist der Fang, dass solche Fälle auf der Grundlage von der genauen Formulierung von steuerteilenden Abmachungen zwischen den Holdingsgesellschaften und ihren Banken entschieden werden, die sich ein bisschen in jedem Beispiel unterscheiden. In Fällen, wo die Abmachungen scheitern anzugeben, dass eine Holdingsgesellschaft Rückzahlungen in eine Bank zurückgeben muss, sind Bankrottrichter Entscheidung gewesen, dass das Vermögen rechtmäßig das Eigentum der Gläubiger der Holdingsgesellschaft und nicht des FDIC ist.

Diese Abmachungen "könnte leicht gesagt haben, dass jede von der Muttergesellschaft erhaltene Rückzahlung der Bank gehört. Seinem Salz werter Anylawyer könnte ihm diesen Weg geschrieben haben", sagt Hedgefondspartner Vik Ghei. "Sie haben nicht gesagt, dass, und tatsächlich sie das Gegenteil gesagt haben."

Ghei, ein 31-jähriger Eingeborener von New York City, hat in die Holdingsgesellschaften von mehr als 70 erfolglosen oder beunruhigten Banken investiert. Berater von HoldCo, der Fonds er co-founded vor zwei Jahren, sind an "eigentlich jeder Gemeinschaftsbank beteiligt worden, die seit 2008 Finanzkrise umstrukturiert", hat es in einem Konkursgericht gesagt, das im letzten Monat ablegt. Es hat auch vom FDIC in mehreren bemerkenswerten Konkursgerichtfällen umfasst, in denen es gläubigerfreundliche Liquidationen gesponsert hat.

Zurzeit besitzt HoldCo $ 1.5 Milliarden der Schuld in den Eltern des Bankrotteurs oder hat Finanzunternehmen gequält. Das macht es den größten Gläubiger in IndyMac und Eigentümer der Schuld ausgegeben durch das Reichskapital, BankUnited und Corus Bancshares.
Der Ruf von Ghei als einer der aggressivsten und erfolgreichen Anleger im Geschäft hat den Zorn von Gangreglern und Staatsagenturen gespeichert. Ein FDIC Rechtsanwalt hat den Fonds als "ein Spekulant charakterisiert, dessen Ansichten zu keiner Achtung betitelt" und seine Rektoren "Spieler" in einem US-amerikanischen Konkursgerichtfeilstaub genannt werden. In einem anderen Fall hat ein Rechtsanwalt für den Staat Michigan das Geschäft der Hedgefonds als beschrieben, "streng gequälte Schuld für tiefe Preisnachlässe aufkaufend und die Knochen für Stücke des Fleisches durchsehend."

Anfang an WaMu

Die Karriere von Ghei in der TotBank-Investierung hat mit Washington Gegenseitigen Bankrott begonnen. Ghei war ein Analytiker von der Hedgefondseulenbachvermögensverwaltung, nach Investitionsgelegenheiten in WaMu im September 2008 suchend, als Finanzmärkte zusammenbrachen.

Mit einem beschränkten Hintergrund im Feld wurde er mit der Investierung in beunruhigte Banken beschäftigt, die auf seiner vorherigen Arbeit mit beunruhigten Gesellschaften an einem Private-Equity-Unternehmen und als ein Analytiker von Goldman Sachs gestützt sind, der Finanzinstitute bedeckt.

Die Schuld von Washington Mutual Inc., der Holdingsgesellschaft für die Betriebsbank, wurde in einem Komplex, Mehrtranchenstruktur organisiert und handelte bei tiefen Preisnachlässen. Ghei hat die korporative Struktur der Gesellschaft studiert und hat begriffen, dass hinter der Schuld mehr als $ 4 Milliarden des Bargeldes war, sowie Steuerrückzahlungen geplant hat.

"Die Holdingsgesellschaft, in der Theorie, hat nichts haben sollen", sagt Ghei. "Es ist, was ich denke, dass Leute angenommen haben. Leute haben nicht begriffen, dass es so vieles Vermögen gab, oder wer sich was bekannt hat."

Der FDIC hat WaMu am 25. September 2008 gegriffen, nachdem eine neuntägige Bank führt und es JPMorgan Chase verkauft hat. Am Morgen seines Misserfolgs handelten etwa $ 4 Milliarden seiner Holdingsgesellschaft von älteren Obligationen an Pennies auf dem Dollar des Nennwerts. Ghei hatte die vorherige Nacht im Büro ausgegeben, die Gesellschaft analysierend, und sich dafür entschieden sich zu stürzen.

Vor diesem Abend hatte sich der Wert der Schuld, die er erworben hatte, zu ungefähr vierzig Cent auf dem Dollar erhoben. Im Laufe der nächsten mehreren Monate hat Eulenbach sein Vermögen in anderen Typen der Schuld von WaMu vergrößert, schließlich einer der größten Gläubiger der Holdingsgesellschaft werdend.
Nach einem der kompliziertsten Bankrotte in der Geschichte wurden die Gläubiger von WaMu zum Nennwert plus aufgelaufene Zinsen zurückgezahlt. Das hat den Handel von Ghei ungeheuer lukrativ für den Eulenbach gemacht, der Hunderte von Millionen von Dollars verdient hat und ihn von einem Analytiker in einen Partner gedreht hat, sagt Ghei.

Der Bankrott von WaMu hat auch Ghei einen Intensivkurs darin gegeben, wie der Bankrottprozess für eine Bankholdingsgesellschaft arbeitet. Er hat begriffen, dass er den Handel potenziell wiederholen konnte, der so eindrucksvoll für den Eulenbach mit den Hunderten von Banken gearbeitet hatte, die während der Finanzkrise gescheitert hatten.

Ghei hat sich dafür entschieden, Eulenbach zu verlassen, um in beunruhigte Finanzunternehmen an Tricadia Capital Management, den Hedgefonds zu investieren, die berühmt sind, wegen für das CDO-karierte den Weg zu bahnen. Eineinhalb Jahr später hat er HoldCo, mit Misha Zaitzeff, einem ehemaligen Analytiker von Tricadia aufgestellt. Trotz der Vielzahl von Bankmisserfolgen zurzeit und Bankholdingsgesellschaften mit großen Schuldenbeträgen hat Ghei überzeugende potenzielle Anleger kein leichtes Los gehabt, dass seine Investitionsthese lebensfähig war.

"Leute haben gesagt 'Schau mal, der FDIC ist nie dabei, Sie dieses Geld bekommen zu lassen'", ruft Ghei zurück. "Wir kauften Dinge, die wir gedacht haben, hatte viel Wert, aber der Markt lachte über uns grundsätzlich."

Brett Jefferson, der das hedgefonds Hildenekapital führt, hatte ernste Zweifel vor der Investierung mit HoldCo. "Zuerst habe ich ihm nicht vertraut", sagt Jeferson von Ghei. "Jeder versuchte, Weisen auszurechnen, etwas aus diesen Geschäften zu bekommen, aber er hat uns bereits einige Wiederherstellungen bekommen."

Mehr ist unterwegs wahrscheinlich, wenn Gerichtsentscheidungen bis heute ein Führer sind.

Gläubiger haben über den FDIC im Falle dass nach dem Fall vorgeherrscht. Im März hat ein Bundesrichter in Ohio den Anspruch des FDIC von Rechten auf eine Steuerrückzahlung von $ 195 Millionen wegen AmFin Financial Corp., der Holdingsgesellschaft für die Bank von AmTrust in Cleveland zurückgewiesen, das im Dezember 2009 gescheitert hat. Diese Entscheidung ist einer Entscheidung im September im US-amerikanischen Revisionsgericht für den Sechsten Stromkreis gefolgt, der den Anspruch des FDIC auf $ 765 Millionen vom Stand von AmFin bestreitet.
Getrennt hat ein US-amerikanischer Bezirksrichter für den Hauptbezirk Kaliforniens im letzten Jahr entschieden, dass die Gläubiger von IndyMac Bancorp und nicht der FDIC, zu seiner Steuerrückzahlung von $ 55 Millionen berechtigt wurden.

2011 hat ein US-amerikanischer Bankrottrichter in Florida die Gläubiger von BankUnited Financial Corp., der Holdingsgesellschaft für die Bank von Florida zuerkannt, die 2009, die Steuerrückzahlung von $ 45 Millionen der Gesellschaft gescheitert hat. Im Fall von NetBank hat das US-amerikanische Konkursgericht für Florida versichert, dass die Steuerrückzahlung von $ 6.2 Millionen der Gesellschaft den Gläubigern gehört. Die Entscheidung wurde später von einem US-amerikanischen Landgericht in Florida hochgehalten.

Eine Bitte von $ 1 Milliarde

Das gesetzliche Gedränge über große Steuerrückzahlungen geht auf ein 2009 Gesetzerlauben Gesellschaften zurück, Verluste übernommen 2008 und 2009 zu verwenden, um während der vorherigen fünf Jahre bezahlte Steuern auszugleichen. Alles in allem, der Wert von mehr als $ 1 Milliarde von Steuerrückzahlungen stehen in Fällen auf dem Spiel, in denen der FDIC entweder eine Entscheidung erwartet oder ein Konkursgerichturteil appelliert.

Die Siege der Agentur sind wenige gewesen. 2011 hat ein US-amerikanisches Landgericht in Georgia FDIC mehr als $ 10 Millionen in Steuerrückzahlungen vom Stand der Integrität Bancshares zuerkannt. Unterschiedlich mit vielen anderen Banken hat die steuerteilende Abmachung zwischen Integrität und seiner Holdingsgesellschaft klar Eigentumsrecht der Bank gewährt.

In Fällen, wo Steuerabmachungen scheitern festzusetzen, dass Holdingsgesellschaftsvermögen den Gläubigern von erfolglosen Banktochtergesellschaften gehört, hat der FDIC eine Reihe von gesetzlichen Argumenten aufgestellt. Sie schließen den Anspruch ein, dass die Abmachungen zweideutig oder, und die Beschwörung von mit den Jahrzehnten alten Fallrechtbeteiligennichtbanken fehlerhaft sind, und in dem Steuerabmachungen fehlen.

Bankrottrichter sind selten überzeugt und einige stechende Rügen geliefert worden. Nach der Meinung von IndyMac hat Richter Sheri Bluebond vom US-amerikanischen Konkursgericht für Los Angeles gesagt, dass die Agentur hauptsächlich eine gesetzliche Tarnung durch die "bloße Zahl von Argumenten und Theorien hochwarf", ist es vorwärts gegangen, um einen aufrichtigen Fall zu komplizieren.

Mit AmFin hat Richter John Adams vom US-amerikanischen Landgericht für den Nördlichen Bezirk Ohios geschrieben, dass die steuerteilende Abmachung der Gesellschaft "eindeutig" die Rückzahlung der Holdingsgesellschaft gewährt, und dass "die restlichen durch den FDIC erhobenen Argumente", bereits von "vielen anderen Gerichten" zurückgewiesen worden sind.
Als das Fallrecht gegen die FDIC-Gestelle sind Hedgefonds, die Ansprüche gegen erfolglose Bankholdingsgesellschaften halten, kühner in drückenden Gerichten geworden, um die Argumente der Agentur zurückzuweisen.

Diese Unerschrockenheit hat sogar Finanzierungsstreitigkeit gegen den FDIC eingeschlossen. Eulenbach und zwei andere Hedgefonds im letzten Jahr sind bereit gewesen, den Stand von Kolonialen Bancgroup $ 15 Millionen zu leihen, um gesetzliche Ausgaben im Streit mit dem FDIC finanziell zu unterstützen. Auf dem Spiel: mehr als $ 610 Millionen im Steuervermögen und den anderen Ansprüchen. Eines der Darlehen wurde strukturiert, um den Hedgefonds 15 % jährlich im Interesse zu bezahlen; anderes beteiligtes der Hedgefondsempfang zwischen 27.5 % und 100 % der Streitigkeitswiederherstellungen des Stands, abhängig von wie viel sie wiedergewinnen.

Der FDIC hat protestiert mit der Begründung, dass der Fall des Stands gegen den FDIC seit fast acht Monaten schlafend gewesen war, bevor die Hedgefonds eingetreten sind. Richter Dwight Williams vom US-amerikanischen Konkursgericht für den Nördlichen Bezirk Alabamas hat dem Darlehen erlaubt durchzugehen, und Streitigkeit ist andauernd.

Unter Fällen, wo der FDIC noch vorherrschen konnte: Die Streitigkeit von Corus mehr als eine Steuerrückzahlung von $ 250 Millionen und der Fall von Downey Financial, der eine Rückzahlung von $ 374 Millionen einschließt.

Einige Beobachter erwarten mehr Verluste für den FDIC. Gläubiger "sind (obwohl nicht sicher) wahrscheinlich, in allen öffentlich tradable Fällen vorzuherrschen", hat Analytiker von CRT Capital Group Kevin Starke geschrieben, der sich auf die Schuld der erfolglosen Banken spezialisiert.

Die FDIC Beamten haben "ein schlechtes Argument", und haben diese Fälle verloren, "weil sie sie verlieren sollten", sagt ein Rechtsanwalt, der gebeten hat, anonym zu bleiben, weil er an der Streitigkeit gegen HoldCo beteiligt wird.

Es gibt Zeichen, dass der FDIC seine Positur weich macht, beschlossen, dass teure Streitigkeit weniger Hoffnung auf die Wiederherstellung anbietet, als Ansiedlungen tun.

Im April hat es einem Spalt 50-50 einer Steuerrückzahlung von $ 3.3 Millionen zugestimmt, die zu Team Financial geschuldet ist, die 2009 Bankrott gemacht hat. Ghei, der geholfen hat, diese Ansiedlung zu verhandeln, nennt sie einen "schönen" Spalt und sagt, dass er hoffnungsvoll ist, dass der FDIC bereit sein wird, Geschäfte in anderen Fällen zu schlagen.
Darüber hinaus die aktuellen Klagen Reform der Auflösungsprozess, bevor die nächste Runde von Bankenzusammenbrüchen ein wichtiges Thema für die FDIC ist. Stärkung der Quelle der Stärke Lehre wäre eine Gesetzesänderung erforderlich und könnte Jahre dauern. Das Bankgewerbe würde wahrscheinlich Objekt, argumentieren, dass das Gesetz ändern Kapital zu erschweren würde. In der Zwischenzeit sagen die FDIC hat noch rechtlichen Reformen vorschlagen Anwälte damit verbundenen Rechtsstreitigkeiten beteiligt. Eine weitere mögliche Route für die FDIC wäre zu Druck auf die Banken, Kapital-Wartungsverträge zu unterzeichnen. Das würde bedeuten, erfordern die Direktoren der Holding-Gesellschaften für lebensfähige Banken zu verpfänden, dass sie des Elternteils Kapital nutzen werden, um die Bank auch in Konkurs zu unterstützen. Sogar Ghei räumt ein, dass ein solcher Schritt der Agentur Probleme lösen könnte. "Garantieverträge werden ständig geschrieben und durchsetzbar sind", sagt er. "Sie können in einem einseitigen Vertrag dies. Sie können wahrscheinlich dies, in zwei Sätzen. Aber es ist nicht passiert."

Unless all that was settled during the BK is by some miracle overturned, it is highly unlikely. The FDIC was definitely in uncharted waters when it took WaMu and dumped it to JPM on the cheap-cheap, but they got through the BK process unscathed with the help of JPM, SNHs, Examiner and of course THJMW.  It's such a shame THJMW would not break the GSA after the EC was formed and allow us negotiate in good faith. There was so much available had just a few things gone our way such as the TPS NOT converting to preferred or the examiner finding (and stating) the seizure/sale/bid process itself or GSA negotiation had significant enough flaws to convince THJMW at least rule the GSA null and void. This all still haunts many of us who lived and breathed this fiasco each day. Oh, what COULD have been.

I think what Ron is missing is that if by some miracle some Court or Congress were to rule the WaMu seizure itself was indeed a 5AT, it would likely benefit preseizure holders of the various securities, but then what do they do about the SNHs almost $4B windfall and of course JPM's massive windfall. A real mess indeed, but I'd love to see the FDIC/JPM squirm.  Sadly, there have been and are no suits filed challenging the seizure/bidding process except ANICO and all they want is their WMB Bonds made whole.  Short of some miracle, the FDIC itself is not just going to one day say, "We f%^@*ed up with WaMu", and make it right.

I'd love to hear a theoretical scenario by Ron as to how this 5AT process could unfold and who he believes would benefit.

Hey, Nlu.  I've been investorwad ONLY on Y and Ghost since day one because I was a 50,000 share WM bagholder on that fateful Thursday in '08. Remember my stupid (funny?) fake phone call posts on Y between Dimon, Sheila, etc.?  I never went to court and was not directly involved with the board heavies, but did fund Mason a couple times to help pay for his trips to DE. Please don't tell me that was a scam.

Here's a question: Has anyone here tried to contact the LT and ask if there is ANY potential recovery from the FDIC or R or possibility of WMI assets coming back? Asked Doug, Rosen (he'd remember Catz), Edgar, Kosturos, or anyone directly that may at least be able confirm or deny the possibility?  Since there is no litigation between the LT and FDIC it doesn't seem as though someone couldn't minimally comment to help put us unwashed masses at ease.

First, thanks Ron for capturing this. What it tells me through this is that we were hitting our claim from multiple angles. Regarding "Taking", I looked at Tucker Act under which "Suits may be brought for Constitutional claims, particularly taking of property by the government to be compensated under the Fifth Amendment

tive review process, and (d)(13)(D) withholds judicial review
unless and until claims are so routed.  Their wording, howev-
er, creates a difficult interpretative problem:  the jurisdiction-
precluding language of (d)(13)(D) can accommodate quite a
broad reading--broad enough to cover contracts between
private parties and the FDIC as Receiver for a failed deposi-
tory institution.  But (d)(6)(A) is quite narrow--it allows
judicial review, after administrative determination, of "any
claim against a depository institution for which the Corpora-
tion is receiver."  Thus, for claims that are not "against a
depository institution" but that do fall within (d)(13)(D), the
effect of the two sections, on a plain language approach,
would be not to impose an administrative exhaustion require-
ment but to foreclose judicial jurisdiction altogether, a result
troubling from a constitutional perspective and certainly not
the goal of FIRREA.  See generally, e.g., Hudson United
Bank v. Chase Manhattan Bank of Connecticut, 43 F.3d 843,
848-49 (3d Cir. 1994) ("Congress did not intend FIRREA's
claims process to immunize the receiver, but rather wanted to
require exhaustion of the receivership claims process before
going to court.");  Homeland Stores, Inc. v. RTC, 17 F.3d
1269, 1273-74 (10th Cir. 1994) (assuming that "Congress
intended those 'claims' barred by s 1821(d)(13)(D) to parallel
those contemplated under FIRREA's administrative claims
process").  A claim based on a contract with the FDIC as
Receiver for a particular depository is one of the types of



actions that fall into the gap.  Such a contract might be either
(1) one entered into in the first instance by the FDIC as
Receiver, or (2) one inherited from a depository institution
and accepted by the receiver, rather than being rejected
pursuant to s 1821(e)(1) and (2).  Such claims, particularly of
the first sort, do not appear to be claims "against a depository
institution" but they would, superficially, be ones "relating to
any act or omission of ... the Corporation as receiver."  How
should a court resolve the problem?  The obvious solution is
to read (d)(6)(A) and (d)(13)(D) to apply to the same
"claims." 2  We have called this a "plausible" method of
reconciliation, Nat'l Trust for Historic Preservation v. FDIC,
995 F.2d 238, 240 (D.C. Cir. 1993), vacated 5 F.3d 567,
reinstated in relevant part 21 F.3d 469 (D.C. Cir. 1994), and
other courts agree.  See, e.g., Rosa v. RTC, 938 F.2d 383, 394
(3d Cir. 1991) (stating that (d)(13)(D) bar applies only to
claims "susceptible of resolution through the claims proce-
dure");  see also Henderson v. Bank of New England, 986
F.2d 319, 321 (9th Cir. 1993) (same, quoting Rosa).

    There are two possible ways to produce such a harmonious
reading of "claims".  One may either read (d)(6)(A) broadly,
ignoring the phrase "against a depository institution," or read
(d)(13)(D) narrowly, implying the phrase "against a deposito-
ry institution" on the basis of the statute's general focus on
such claims.  See Office and Professional Employees Inter-
national Union v. FDIC, 962 F.2d 63, 68 (D.C. Cir. 1992)
("OPEIU").  The circuits have split on which approach to
take.  Compare Stamm v. Paul, 121 F.3d 635 (11th Cir. 1997)
(applying s 1821(d)(6) to claim against receiver);  Home Capi-

__________
    2 Even such a harmonious reading would not necessarily limit the
net effect of (d)(6)(A) and (d)(13)(D) to the imposition of an exhaus-
tion requirement on a specific class of suits against the FDIC.  For
example, it may well be that Congress intended entirely to prevent
parties from maintaining declaratory judgment actions against the
receiver, see Nat'l Union Fire Insurance Co. v. City Savings, 28
F.3d 376, 385-86 (3d Cir. 1994); cf. Nat'l Trust for Historic Preser-
vation v. FDIC, 21 F.3d 469, 471-73 (D.C. Cir. 1994) (Wald, J.,
concurring) (discussing operation of anti-injunction provision of
s 1821(j), and noting existence of claims procedure as alternative to
injunctive relief).



tal Collateral, Inc. v. FDIC, 96 F.3d 760 (5th Cir. 1996)
(same);  Hudson, 43 F.3d at 848-49 (same) with Homeland,
17 F.3d at 1275 (holding administrative review process inap-
plicable to claims accruing after RTC's appointment as receiv-
er).

    Our circuit has not taken a position on the issue, although
we have indicated that bankruptcy law is a useful aid in
understanding FIRREA.  See OPEIU, 962 F.2d at 68.  A
bankruptcy-modeled approach would draw a distinction be-
tween claims against the depository, which accrue before the
appointment of the receiver and are subject to administrative
determination,3 and claims against the receiver, which accrue
after appointment and are not.  See, e.g., Matter of M.
Frenville Co., Inc., 744 F.2d 332, 335 (3d Cir. 1984) (noting
that post-petition claims are not subject to automatic stay);  
11 U.S.C. 361(a)(1).  But this case does not require us to
decide how far the bankruptcy distinction should guide us in
interpreting FIRREA.  Section 1821(d)(13)(D) cannot apply
to Auction Company's suit regardless of how broadly "claim"
is read.

    Section 1821(d)(13)(D)(ii), as discussed, bars jurisdiction
(except as otherwise provided in subsection (d)) over "any
claim relating to any act or omission of such institution or the
Corporation as receiver."  Whatever may be the scope of
"claim," we think it is clear that the reference to "the
Corporation as receiver" in (d)(13)(D)(ii) means the Corpora-
tion as receiver for such institution (i.e., a particular institu-
tion of the sort referred to in (d)(13)(D)(i)).  Omitting this
restriction would change s 1821(d)(13)(D) from an exhaustion
requirement to a grant of immunity for all claims arising from
acts the FDIC takes "as receiver"--except to the extent that
those claims could be handled by an administrative process
open only to claims "against a depository institution."  We

__________
    3 Claims based on contracts rejected by the receiver pursuant to
s 1821(e)(1) and (2) would fall into this category.  Cf. 11 U.S.C.
ss 365(g), 502(g) (providing that rejection of an executory contract
by bankruptcy trustee is treated as breach occurring immediately
before filing of bankruptcy petition).



are confident that Congress did not intend such a result,
which would raise serious constitutional questions.  See, e.g.,
Nat'l Union Fire Ins. Co. v. City Savings, 28 F.3d 376, 390
n.16 (3d Cir. 1994).

    In this case, however, the FDIC did not act as receiver for
any particular depository.  The contract it entered into relat-
ed to the assets of an unspecified number of unnamed deposi-
tories and provided that the assets could be unilaterally
withdrawn at any time up to 48 hours before the auction.  We
refuse to conceive of this arrangement as a contract between
Auction Company and the FDIC as Receiver for a quantum
flux of probabilistic depositories whose identities are revealed
only by the filing of a lawsuit.  A federal receivership is not
Schroedinger's cat.  If the FDIC enters into a transaction
whose economic realities are impossible to square with the
notion that the FDIC is acting as receiver for a particular
depository, liability for its acts will run to the FDIC directly,
unmediated by exhaustion requirements governing claims
against depositories.  If the FDIC acts as a generic receiver,
it must expect to be sued as such."

JP Morgan Chase starting to buy Capmark

Zitat Nightdaytrader9:
I know it's not a huge amount but looks like last quarter 2014, JP Morgan Chase started buying some Capmark (CPMK).

Also, if you look at recent CPMK chart for the first Qtr of 2015, they had some huge volume days.  On January 15th, 5.7M shares traded, on Jan 30th, over 10.0M shares traded, and there are already a few days in Feb where 1-2M shares traded... Interested because their outstanding (136M) number of shares is less than WMIH...

Restrictions on Sale of Assets by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
www.federalregister.gov/articles/2014/10/...rance-corporation
A Proposed Rule by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on 10/24/2014
Action

Notice Of Proposed Rulemaking.

Summary

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is proposing to amend our regulations. Part 340 implements section 11(p) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Under section 11(p), individuals or entities whose acts or omissions have, or may have, contributed to the failure of an insured depository institution cannot buy the assets of that failed insured depository institution from the FDIC. The proposed revisions to part 340 will help to clarify its purpose, scope and applicability, and will make it more consistent in our regulations, the parallel provision in the FDIC's Orderly Liquidation Authority regulations  that implements section 210(r) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act by placing restrictions on sales of assets of a covered financial company by the FDIC. Sections of part 340 became effective on July 1, 2014

Re: "Source-of-Strength Doctrine" = 5AT
Zitat Sgtofarmsone:
I don't think it will be much if anything.  There seems to be some possible benjis  in the coffers of the pool in what seems like the never ending litigation reserve.  With the employee claims litigation pushed into next year already and the LT extended three more years, the litigation might eat up any potential excess flowing to equity.  As for the "R" theory, I appreciate the DD by many, and as much as I would like to see it happen, I don't count on a single penny flowing back to the LT.  It just seems to me, as in this thread, folks are trying to re-litigate the 5th amendment taking challenge that was eventually settled by the parties.  Now the "R" theory has some merit IMO, but I just think the parties during the BK would have identified other assets taken by the FDIC and would have exploited that during the BK to get some traction.  Seems like Nate was the hail marry for equity and we eventually received our portion of WMIH with almost 6 Billion in NOL's to utilize.
---------------------
Zitat WithCatz:
Two simple questions:

1) Wasn't this claim of a 5AT settled as part of the final POR/DS?

2) Who's filing the "Tucker Action" suit or otherwise?
--------------------
Zitat ron_66271:
Yes. 5AT was already settled in the GSA.

You are missing the obvious. The FDIC/Government settled, to settle the 5AT as agreed to in the GSA.
Now JPM just makes that payment for assets purchased due to the closure of the P&AA. Furthermore FDIC-"R" can make 'dividend' payments for WMI assets held in the receivership, and we are settled. Pretty simple don't you think?. Nothing from stopping the "R" from making that 'divided' payment real soon. Six years of PtC interest.   + BIG  

Too bad you missed the Sub-ROSA discussions. Try the search function in the upper right-hand corner too come-up to speed in the discussion with the rest of us.
www.usbanklocations.com/...junction-branch-financial-info.html
Can JPM afford what JPM purchased? We will see...
Payment is pass due because the P&AA is closed.


'cooking' .....
--------------------
Zitat myh1668:
My question about this is...since the article deal with tax refunds of the bank instead of the holding company, do we have any tax refund of WMB that we know of that the FDIC is keeping? The POR deals with tax refund of WMI is that not true? So if we can claim WMB's tax refund into WMI's LT we will share that money?
--------------------
Zitat Sgtofarmsone:
WMI had tax sharing agreements with all/or most of it's subs prior to the takeover.  Those tax benefits were divided up regardless of the fillmore project and any other capital infusions by WMI to WMB and fsb.  The settled POR divi'd up WMI's portion back to JPM and the FDIC according to the settlement.  This was all disclosed several years ago during the BK process, disclosure statements, and POR's.  

I think one of the reasons the EC was even formed (not discounting Joyce's and others efforts) was due to legislative changes allowing more advantages for companies to utilize additional carryback NOL's (at least that was the impression I got when I spoke with Mr McMahon before he left).
---------------------
Zitat investorwad zu User ron_66271:
So, it sounds like your theory is that even though 5AT was settled via the GSA/BK proceedings, you believe that JPM must/will still pay more and the FDIC must/will pay dividends to the LT for WMI assets held in receivership?  Wouldn't any proceeds theoretically paid by JPM go to pay the FDIC's BILLIONS in certified claims (WMB Bonds)?  As soon as someone finds these WMI assets and shows the FDIC acknowledges them as such OR the LT acknowledges even potential payments from the FDIC, they simply don't exist.  

You've been beating this 5AT mule all this time and it comes down to JPM paying more and/or FDIC holding WMI assets?  What does 5AT have to to with that?  Are you saying the FDIC will attempt to avoid 5AT problems by getting more for the taken bank assets? Who/what is holding their feet to the fire?
--------------------
Zitat amd4001967:
But what has JPM really paid for all the assets received and the releases provided in this case ?, more than 95% of the distributions made on the effective date came from the 4B deposit and the tax refunds, so , basically they are going to paid "0" ?
--------------------
Zitat investorwad:
Yes, we all know JPM got a helluva sweet deal and they still have indemnification claims AGAINST the FDIC which COULD mean the FDIC will actually wind up paying them to take the bank. As hard as this is to fathom even after 6+ years, it REALLY DID HAPPEN.  Further, the DB action liability is still being fought between the FDIC and JPM and it's anyone's guess as to how that gets ruled. We have a long way to go still before all the smoke clears just between those two, but if they're still fighting, when do we think the FDIC is going to drop the PAY US BILLIONS MORE bomb on JPM?  Since the PAA has been closed, as reported by AZ, didn't the FDIC lose it's contractual leverage to up the purchase price?

Yes, we all want our escrows to get something, but doesn't it seem reasonable that the likely outcome of the fight between JPM/FDIC is a compromise between the two that makes THEM happy?  I don't think WMI/LT is remotely on their radar and hasn't been since THJMW let stand the GSA. Watch the LT quarterlies for new language or line-item reflecting something/anything from the FDIC. Short of that, don't hold your breath.
--------------------
Zitat vitellom:
Considering that the PAA is officially closed, is the 'long version' still being kept hidden? WHY?
--------------------
Zitat Scott Fox:
So very glad this was filed........."In its capacity as a creditor, WMI claimed, among other things, that (i) the FDIC dissipated WMB’s assets by selling substantially all the assets of WMB to JPMC rather than liquidating WMB’s assets, and thus the FDIC breached its statutory duty to maximize the net present value return of such assets, and therefore owes damages to WMI; (ii) the FDIC’s wasting of WMB’s assets constitutes a taking for property without just compensation in violation of the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution; (iii) the FDIC’s refusal to compensate WMI for the property taken in the receivership constitutes a conversion of WMI’s property, actionable under  federal law; and (iv) the FDIC’s refusal to compensate WMI of property taken in the Receivership constitutes a conversion of WMI’s property".
-------------------
Zitat WithCatz:
Two questions:

1) Who filed it?

2) Is it still an active claim, or was it settled as a matter-of-law, with prejudice, in the POR/DS?
--------------------
Zitat Scott Fox:
Catz, pretty sure you read it. This can be used later against the FDIC if needed, no release for them. We won't have to if they followed procedure.

Catz,

Am trying to reconcile the Mellon accounts but looks like only one account appeared at the beginning of the monthly operating reports (account XXXXX0301 in the amount of $81). All other account balances never appeared....

There is one account at WM Investment Corp XXXXX3053 in the amount of $2.9 million but it was nver on the initial list of seized bank accounts.

It was closed in December 2008

May be AZ's court registry fund theory is not so far-fetched after all as the American Savings Litgation funds appeared from nowhere (no account number, no transfer document). And may be that's why Mary W. called the settlement fair and reasonable - I guess we find out we she closes her case.

And IF there are large sums residing in the BNY Mellon accounts - what could be the reason why they weren't yanked?! Simple answer: Like JP Morgan their house was on fire in 2008!!! And they were a systemically important institution administrating trillions of dollars (the largest custodian of public pension plans).

And because of its pension roles - all troubled banks considered it a safe harbor. So what did they do?! They shifted all their money into BNY Mellon accounts. Please take a look at the FDIC website and you will see how their deposits increased from June 30th, 2008 until September 30th, 2008 by a whopping $73 billion - that's a seismic shift. The bank is also the master custodian for the TARP funds, hired by the Treasury to handle accounting and record-keeping for the program.

Now please go figure....

Zitat kenwalker:
Look at some of the numbers ............ plus ........... 10,000 additional employees.
------------------
Zitat doo_dilettante:
Ken, the number of employees could be related to the post merger integration of Mellon and Bank of New York. The financial numbers however I cross-referenced in the BNY Mellon 2008 Annual Report. And the data matches the FDIC numbers. The banking world of September 2008 must have looked like a zoo.....
www.bnymellon.com/_global-assets/pdf/...financial-section.pdf
"In the second half of 2008, the size of our balance sheet increased significantly, reflecting a large increase in client deposits as clients reacted to the volatile markets by seeking a safe haven for their deposits. Asset levels peaked at $267.5 billion on Sept. 30, 2008. At Dec. 31, 2008, total assets were $237.5 billion, compared with $197.7 billion at Dec. 31, 2007. Deposits totaled $159.7 billion at Dec. 31, 2008 compared with $118.1 billion at Dec. 31, 2007. Total assets averaged $210.0 billion in 2008 compared with $148.6 billion in 2007. Total deposits averaged $127.0 billion in 2008 compared with $88.0 billion in 2007.
The higher level of client deposits received during the second half of 2008 were placed in liquid funds with either the Federal Reserve and other central banks or in short-term deposits with large global banks. As a result, our percentage of liquid assets to total assets increased to 44% at Dec. 31, 2008 from 25% at
Dec. 31, 2007. At Dec. 31, 2008, we had approximately $47 billion of liquid funds with large global banks and cash of $58 billion (including approximately $53 billion on deposit with the Federal Reserve and other central banks) for a total of approximately $105 billion of available funds. This compares with available funds of $50 billion at Dec. 31, 2007."

And then you see Maciel filing his stupid monthly operating reports for WMI and quarterly Liquidation Trust reports. These reports are NOT audited and have a huge disclaimer header that basically gives him the right to write and file poems if he pleases to do. Not worth the paper it is written on....it's not only the report that is limited in scope - I think it includes the preparer as well.

Interesting Lawsuit - JPM (former Wamu) testifies no transfer of loan ownership

www.boardpost.net/forum/index.php?topic=6964.msg92328#msg92328

Zitat kevins3021:
Very interesting link to testimony of JPM lawsuit where former Wamu employee states there are no documents showing any transfer of ownership of loans.

August 2012

No there is no assignments of mortgage. There’s no allonges. There’s no — in the thousands of loans that I have come into contact with that were a part of this purchase, I’ve never once seen an assignment of mortgage. There is simply not — they don’t exist. Or allonges or anything transferring ownership from WAMU to Chase, in other words. Specifically, endorsements and things like that.

The subsidiaries reporting gets funnier every year:

Annual Report 2008 included the State and the percentage of shareholding.
Since the Annual Reports 2009 it included only the State where the entities were incorporated.

Now it only shows the country - that's what I call transparency.....

Zitat boarddork:
What do you think the name  "private-label securitization by Washington Mutual" means?    Possibly a tracking name from the FDIC Resolution Trust Corp (RTC) when they create their own MBS from portfolio mortgages taken in receivership, from the IDI (Insured Deposit Institution in receivership), and put into safe harbour?   Of course JPM servicing this for the FDIC for the time being.....

          "1)  the FDIC Resolution Trust Corp (RTC) or its affiliates has the authority to securitize pools of previously unsecuritized mortgages held in bank portfolios, taken in receiverships.
                History here: www.fdic.gov/ba /historical/managing/history1-16.pdf "
Also,  WMI Quarter Ending 6/30/2008, there was $222B in WMI mortgages held in portfolio.  (An additional $19B in prior sold MBS).  So if approx $222B - 165B = $57B remaining.................well hot dog dammit, $57B is the number owed to FHLB as a liability as of quarter end 6/30/2008.   The numbers link up, I think we're getting pretty damn close.....Now leverage $38B 10x's or more    


And this is just mortgages..........what else is returning?


That is an amazingly short and get ready to cover-your-a$$, overly simplified list, compared to all the years prior 10-k's I analyzed in my objections to the court.  Rosen="hiding the sausage"

Pretty easy to hand the 'sausage' back to 'somebody' without a paper trail.......you know, that thing where you pretend you bought the luxury car, but you were really just leasing.  Sure is almighty interesting coincidental where JPM is saying they can no longer keep $100B in 'banking deposits' from certain depositors.
www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-24/...needs?cmpid=yhoo
Like certain $78B in refinance proceeds, 6 years percentage share of servicing fees, interest, etc.

Zitat Scott Fox:
Private Label. Some private institutions, such as subsidiaries of investment banks, financial institutions, and home builders, also issue mortgage securities. When issuing mortgage securities, they may issue either agency or non-agency mortgage passthrough securities; however, their underlying collateral will more often include different or specialized types of mortgage loans or mortgage loan pools that do not qualify for agency securities. The transactions may use alternative credit enhancements such as letters of credit. These non-agency or so-called private-label mortgage securities are the sole obligation of their issuer and are not guaranteed by one of the GSEs or the U.S. Government**. Private-label mortgage securities are assigned credit ratings by independent credit agencies based on their structure, issuer, collateral, and any guarantees or other factors. - See more at:
www.investinginbonds.com/...56&id=134#sthash.TbUz1YU3.dpuf
---------------------
Zitat boarddork:
private-label mortgage securities are the sole obligation of their issuer............so would the FDIC Resolution Trust Corp (RTC) use its securitization creation powers to create securities based on Washington Mutual issued mortgages?  Seems like a possibility to me.

What's also interesting about this definition, is when you read that "underlying collateral will more often include different or specialized types of mortgage loans or mortgage loan pools that do not qualify for agency securities".........this is the exact description of what a mortgage 'held in portfolio' contains in the definition I've posted mutiple times recently.....REMEMBER WMI's 6/30/2008 Quarter Ending reports $222 Billion in portfolio loans...........separate from an additional $19 Billion in MBS



Again,  What is 'Mortgages held in Portfolio'?
www.brokeroutpost.com/reference/28593.htm
rtfolio Loans

Portfolio loans are mortgages that are held as an investment by the lender. Usually they hold on to the loan because it doesn't fit the underwriting guidelines for investors on the secondary market.  (i.e. securitized, packaged and sold for secondary market)

There really is no advantage to having your mortgage held by a portfolio lender. The rates are usually the same the only difference is that the mortgage usually will not be sold off many times over the life of the loan.

Many times a portfolio lender will have programs or different guidelines that are not typical of loans that are sold on the secondary market which follow FNMA and FHLMC guidelines. Therefore you may be able to sometimes obtain a certain home loan program that you may not normally be able to obtain due to your certain situation, by going with a lender that offers a portfolio loan.

Portfolio loans are mortgage loans in which a lender will loan their own money and have minimal plans of selling the loan or transferring servicing to another bank or lender. Often times, portfolio loans will have something different to them that makes it unique to another bank such as the mortgage note being based on a different index.

Lenders that are portfolio lenders often have very conservative guidelines. This is because they plan on holding the loan for the long term.

Portfolio lenders are usually more flexible in their underwriting guidelines. When lenders hold and service their own loans, they have the ability to work outside the box and approve exceptions that typical lenders may not.

While portfolio lenders may be more flexible with their lending guidelines, they can be more conservative on things like: the types of properties they lend on, the Loan to Value (LTV) ratios, the appraisal and review. Since they intend to keep the loan, in the event they have to foreclose they want to make sure that the property will resell, quickly, and for at least what they lent on the property.

Using a broker is a big plus here because they can look at portfolio loans and non portfolio loans to find you the best deal along with the product you are looking for.

Portfolio loans are often kept in a banks "portfolio" because they are not readily marketable to Wall Street investors for one reason or another. Because banks take longer to recoup they capital with Portfolio Loans, this type of loans often carry higher interest rates than "cookie cutter" loans.



GET IT, GOT IT, GOOD.  and Yeehaw.

KKR is going to supersize our BigMac, any day now.

Check out the R-45

The fair value option provides an option to elect fair value as an alternative measurement for selected financial assets, financial liabilities, unrecognized firm commitments, and written loan commitments not previously carried at fair value.

The Firm has elected to measure certain instruments at fair value in order to:

Mitigate income statement volatility caused by the differences in the measurement basis of elected instruments (for example, certain instruments elected were previously accounted for on an accrual basis) while the associated risk management arrangements are accounted for on a fair value basis;  

Eliminate the complexities of applying certain accounting models (e.g., hedge accounting or bifurcation accounting for hybrid instruments); and/or  

Better reflect those instruments that are managed on a fair value basis.

The Firm has elected to measure the following instruments at fair value:

Loans purchased or originated as part of securitization warehousing activity, subject to bifurcation accounting, or managed on a fair value basis.  

Securities financing arrangements with an embedded derivative and/or a maturity of greater than one year.  

Owned beneficial interests in securitized financial assets that contain embedded credit derivatives, which would otherwise be required to be separately accounted for as a derivative instrument.  

Certain investments that receive tax credits and other equity investments acquired as part of the Washington Mutual transaction.  

Structured notes issued as part of CIB’s client-driven activities. (Structured notes are predominantly financial instruments that contain embedded derivatives.)  

Long-term beneficial interests issued by CIB’s consolidated securitization trusts where the underlying assets are carried at fair value.

The following describes how the gains and losses included in earnings that are attributable to changes in instrument-specific credit risk, were determined.

Loans and lending-related commitments: For floating-rate instruments, all changes in value are attributed to instrument-specific credit risk. For fixed-rate instruments, an allocation of the changes in value for the period is made between those changes in value that are interest rate-related and changes in value that are credit-related. Allocations are generally based on an analysis of borrower-specific credit spread and recovery information, where available, or benchmarking to similar entities or industries.  

Long-term debt: Changes in value attributable to instrument-specific credit risk were derived principally from observable changes in the Firm’s credit spread.

Resale and repurchase agreements, securities borrowed agreements and securities lending agreements: Generally, for these types of agreements, there is a requirement that collateral be maintained with a market value equal to or in excess of the principal amount loaned; as a result, there would be no adjustment or an immaterial adjustment for instrument-specific credit risk related to these agreements.

The confusion must be helpful?
That muddling has been a constant. No one seems to know, care or want to differentiate WMB from WMI in public communications.

Zitat doo_dilettante:
Watson, it is very clear what "Washington Mutual" is - please read the JPM annual report....page 291 and 298

In addition, from 2005 to 2008, Washington Mutual made certain loan level representations and warranties in connection with approximately $165 billion of residential mortgage loans that were originally sold or deposited into private-label securitizations by Washington Mutual. Of the $165 billion, approximately $78 billion has been repaid. In addition, approximately $49 billion of the principal amount of such loans has liquidated with an average loss severity of 59%. Accordingly, the remaining outstanding principal balance of these loans as of December 31, 2014, was approximately $38 billion, of which $8 billion was 60 days or more past due. The Firm believes that any repurchase obligations related to these loans remain with the FDIC receivership.
For additional information regarding litigation, see Note 31.


Note 31
Mortgage-Backed Securities and Repurchase Litigation and Related Regulatory Investigations. JPMorgan Chase and affiliates (together, “JPMC”), Bear Stearns and affiliates (together, “Bear Stearns”) and certain Washington Mutual affiliates (together, “Washington Mutual”) have been named as defendants in a number of cases in their various roles in offerings of mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”). These cases include class action suits on behalf of MBS purchasers, actions by individual MBS purchasers and actions by monoline insurance companies that guaranteed payments of principal and interest for particular tranches of MBS offerings. Following the settlements referred to under “Repurchase Litigation” and “Government Enforcement Investigations and Litigation” below, there are currently pending and tolled investor and monoline insurer claims involving MBS with an original principal balance of approximately $41 billion, of which $38 billion involves JPMC, Bear Stearns or Washington Mutual as issuer and $3 billion involves JPMC, Bear Stearns or Washington Mutual solely as underwriter. The Firm and certain of its current and former officers and Board members have also been sued in shareholder derivative actions relating to the Firm’s MBS activities, and trustees have asserted or have threatened to assert claims that loans in securitization trusts should be repurchased.
