Thanks for posting the Update from LBH. The LBH here is referring to LBH PLC, not to be confused with LBHI, the Holding co of which US CTs are 'connected to
. BUT, since now for the First Time, LBH PLC is 'Officially' stating that the 'Subordinated Debt Securities' will make a 100% Recovery (they are referring to ECAPS here, per my interpretation) and because per the US CTs 'Prospectuses' from LBHI, we 'Are At Par or Senior in Priority to any other Subordinated Debt issued by LBHI affiliates', shouldn't this now mean US CTs have to be 'Made 100% Whole' by LBHI, prior to closing BK OR as part of the 'BK Close;'? Because LBH PLC has made its Subordinated Debt '100% whole' during 'the BK Close'...TIA & GLTU!

Without getting into any Political, let me assure you that the Market Crash today or in coming months has nothing to do with some 'Leak' might have Or NOT Occurred....Instead, it has everything to do with 'Free-loading' every 'constituent' of your 'voting population' with "Free stuff' and then 'loading the Debt' on Future generations of Americans And then 'foolishly' thinking that "Increasing the Debt-Limit' is just "going to make the Debt Problem Disappear"...The US Gub'Ment (Both Dems as well as Repub Administrations) may think they will "Keep on Issuing NEW DEBT" But the World has long gotten a Whiff of the Fact that the US Finances are a "Pack of Cards' , are VERY Suspicious of US Treasuries and China, Japan and Now Europe have started UNLOADING the US Treasuries they had already bought previously...So, WHO is Going to BUY the NEW DEBT? AFRICA?? In the Next few Months, the 10-Year Treasury Bond will just explode above 5% and that is the proverbial 'Canary in the Coal Mine'....Every FREE Benefit will have to be Cut and in the end they'll start cutting our Social Security too -Courtesy, the "Baby Boomer Generation' - the Most RECKLESS , Irresponsible, Weed-smoking Bums who only knew How to 'Free-load' and have been using up the whole "Social Security Pile, while having contributed only "Peanuts' towards that Pile...

After five years of litigation and a trip to the highest court in the land, Weil won a decisive victory in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit for the Sears Liquidating Trust. The Court of Appeals held that the Trust retains ownership of a 100-year lease to a 160,000 square-foot property in the iconic Mall of America, which the Mall had tried to claw back.

Lehman Brothers Holdings PLC Update - February 2025
The administrators of LBH would like to provide creditors with an updated, illustrative financial outcomes for LBH.
In summary, based on certain predictions and assumptions and subject to the usual and important caveats which creditors should bear in mind, we continue to calculate that in all illustrative scenarios, LBH would be able to pay their remaining statutory interest obligations to unsubordinated creditors in full, and there would be a return for LBH’s subordinated creditors. 👉️Any variance in the final outcome for LBH’s subordinated creditors would continue to be largely driven by the outcome of the remaining LBIE asset recoveries (largely in respect of its 👉️ US tax refund claim filed with the Internal Revenue Services as well as claims into two overseas insolvencies).
Capitalised terms in this announcement take their meaning from previous announcements which are available on LBH’s website.

My Posts on FNMA, COOP/WMI.
The Lehman’s, WaMU, F&F names are interchangeable.
We are all in this together.
If the Derivative Market wants to be a legitimate market then the contract writer’s must pay for the ABS losses as agreed to.
*********
If the Government is Privatizing F&F.
Then why would F&F stock/warrants be used for SWF?
Makes no sense.
IMO TBTF is the one placing stock/warrants into the SWF.
The Main constituents of TBTF regarding outstanding derivatives contracts are;
JPM at 57%
BofA at 30%
The overall market was ~$83 Trillion in notables in 2008 of Derivative Contracts.
$13 Trillion in residential mortgages of most were in ABS/RMBS and insured.
Now add in the Commercial loans. Also mostly insured by Derivative Contracts.
In general; TBTF owes
$1.5 Trillion to cover the losses using the Globic Litigation’s 11.9% loss ratio.
$13T*11.9%= $1.5T.
TBTF FAILED.
Hint;
SWF for TBTF.
Not F&F. F&F is a recipient from TBTF like the other 20 banks in FDIC LIBOR Litigation.
***************
Very Few Understand the Derivative Market.
In 2008, the Derivative Market Writers couldn’t cover all the paper they had written.
F&F, WMI/WMB, Lehman’s are the recipients of the Derivative Contracts insurance policies.
Yes TBTF FAILED.
************************
The Property Trustee is Required to Insure.
In WMI/WMB’s case, DB (Globic) as the Trustee is required by the Prospectus to insure the ABS (RMBS , CMBS, Other) or DB is libel for the losses.
AIG was a broker in Derivatives contracts that just put the parties together.
Example;
WaMu went to AIG with their securitized notes and AIG found a writer for the contract as the insurer.
TBTF still has to finish and close the contracts.
But TBTF can’t afford their obligations and needs government help from the SWF.

"All LBHCT III-VI issued Trust PFD Shares will be receiving full back paid suspended quarterly cash distributions since suspension on 09/17/2008 to the day CH 11 is closed for LBHI. Mobility will allow LBHI to make necessary procedural moves to have the property trustee at Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. in New York City send the back-pile of cash + reveal value underlying our shares for whatever properties/sub debentures LBHI writes (from securitizing them) and has been maintained by Chase's property trustee, their own legal team if needed since 08 to collect payments or participate in litigation and then also see where we're headed going fwd as say - Phuket Thailand luxury hotels bought from 2000's to prior to bankruptcy or CRE like the last purchase for a 2.8B EUR luxury CRE skyscraper in Paris still would have whatever part Fuld had held and securitized in the Trustee account at chase."
Thanks Real Mellon777 for responding to my post and your Very VALUED INSIGHTS!
Till Now (and even now, even after reading your above message) I do not know the clear difference of the 'Property Trustee' (which seems to be JPMC, as far as the LBHI created 'Trusts' for the CTs are concerned) VS. the 'Indemnity Trustee' (which seems to be BNY Mellon, for the Lehman CT Securities, and which filed the 'Claims'; on behalf of the CTs, in the BK proceedings before the Court)...
Going by your Reply, I am now surmising JPMC is 'administering/taking care of processing' of ALL the payments that are coming from the various 'holders' of the CRE Debt securities (underlying our LBHI CT Securities) into the various CT Trusts, and even though the "Interest Payments for CTs' 'got suspended' by LBHI, due to the 'Automatic Stay' that came into force on the 'Filing of the BK by LBHI', that all those "payments' are in fact being Collected by JPMC and are 'being Held for our Accounts' of the various Trusts connected to each of the 4 LBHI US CTs. Am I Correct?
And Going by your response, I am now 'deciphering' (because even though I learnt a lot in my MBA Finance, this subject of the various 'types' of Trusts, was never really delved into) that An 'Indemnity Trustee' which BNY Mellon is, in our case, has an Administrative Function that purely has to do with 'taking part/Filing Claims' in any 'Legal Proceedings' arising out of a Company 'Filing for BK' or 'Company Re-organization' as such as 'a Custodian' of those Securities....This, I am surmising because, even though you haven't specifically touched in your response, I had worked for more than 5 years on Wall St at BNY Mellon and though on the Technology side, I was building systems that were doing Middle office/Back Office for Companies' M&A, "Re-org/Restructurings' etc.
I would Appreciate VERY MUCH if You can Describe/provide your Valuable Insight of the Role that a 'Property Trustee' (JPMC in our Case) VS. An 'Indemnity Trustee' (BNY Mellon, in our case) are playing in our LBHI Bk Case. Also, just curious, as a side-bar, do you have any family connection with the Mellon Family? TIA & GLTU & GLTA!

Ron I just made new posts. Sorry I've been dealing with my Dog's cancer pretty hard but also getting him all treated up. I decided since this weekend began - regardless if we get the LBIE v AGFP ruling CORRECTLY and justly fixed/paid out according to the terminology of how to value the position from the moment the two parties signed and entered into the 1992 Master Agreement ver of the ISDA and began the AGFP dealing and LBIE buying of CDS in 2005.
I have HAD IT with lawfare, politicized attacks not just by judges on President Trump unraveling all these abuses that came to light in Q3 2008 but have been far worse since and it HURTS the American economy, the people, and they're messing with the recovery back to the global trade and capital markets WE DESERVE TO EXPERIENCE that they stole and suppressed until Trump got back in office to resume - this time with a super hero cabinet, private sector advisors from John Paulson making phone calls to the WH and our Commerce Sec Lutnick admitted the Trump GOLD CARD allowing $5M payment for perm residency was Paulson's idea - which Lutnick says the details roll out in a week but he had sold 1,000 already for $5 BILLION per the 3/20 All-In Podcast.
So we have a big chance here to win all the way. We're going to recover and then continue with whatever value (immense) that Fuld's company put into these Chase Manhattan property trusteee managed accounts full of sub debentures that are for properties - luxurious - revenue driving ROI and cash cows where the money and ownership sits waiting for CH 11 to end and fully raid proof from the creditors who don't own these special hybrid TPS with issuance using the DST set up for issuance to keep all that value SAFE for the entirety of the 2052-2054 maturity dates on each of the 4 PFDs prospectus writeups.
But even without the LBIE v AGFP ruling - I am livid. I see this as another SAME DISTRICT AS NY V TRUMP SAME HACK JUDGES THAT WILL THROW A GRENADE WHENEVER POSSIBLE TO GIVE THE FINGER TO CAPITALISM IN THE USA AND IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR'S CONTROL - reversing back the drunken power these people in the courts have held since the GFC 2008 and are now realizing they have less power thanks to President Trump and the movement that has uncovered so much. Rossman and Quinn Emmanuel went all the way, Deutsche Bank AG sent their amicus brief filing so their expert could fight this in support of LBIE and the ISDA terms - and we had an NYU professor who since the 70's had been into the present called dozens of times to provide expertise on these types of contractual agreements on private parties and also including the ISDA Master Agreements. I read the briefs.
These judges approved them to be heard. Then they all without any explanation denied LBIE's appeal to have their own say and a last look at this expecting surely the top court of this system that is the epicenter of the world of finance and capital markets/derivatives trades would make the common sense decision.
Then they said quietly - denied as if WTF are you all gonna do about it?
I say we start with ISDA. I will do it alone - it's got nothing to do with recovery of funds. Personally I believe these securities after the CH 11 exits anyhow will bring a windfall that will allow the bulk of you to live happy ever after. I'm not crusading.
But I wanna escalate until I get a meeting with the ISDA. I will not be gaslighted or told this is not important. This is an attack on our country and its capitalist free market core values that began with the Constitution and I'll be damned if the USA is going to be a place that allows - without explanation! A ticking time bomb to sit embedded in the global derivatives markets because these people either hate President Trump for ending their power/grift/insider club wealth and prosperous times from 2009-Nov 5, 2024/Jan 20, 2025 that came from being okay with stealing the opportunity, wealth, and American dream from normal everyday - just as important as any other American, hard working people's. I won't stop this. This CANNOT be allowed.

No pain then no gain, you sound like you are in the Revolutionary War Battle of Kings Mountain, in the Carolina's. Those soldiers' were already equipped with thick skin, after fighting in the Indian Wars. You are just now getting your mind right, after all these years. The tide of this Bankruptcy is about to change with our new King. You can deliver our message to the new Continental Congress in Pennsylvania.

Zoom in: BlackRock's $22.8 billion agreement with CK Hutchinson, announced on March 4, is broken up into two parts.
The first covers two ports, one on either side of the Panama canal, and only was signed in principle. There's an April 2 deadline for definitive paperwork.
The second covers another 43 ports in 23 countries, and would seem to be able to proceed even if the Panama piece does not.

The Numbers Prove You Will Be Very Happy.
Lehman’s, WMI, F&F securitized notes are secured by Derivative Contracts that still need to pay up.
According to the FDIC, “WMI/WMB securitized $2 Trillion in RMBS of which $500 Billion was sold to F&F.”
Treasury number for RMBS in 2008 was $13 Trillion at a loss ratio of 11.9% as litigated in the California DB Case.
JPM owned 57% of the Derivative Market.
BoA just under 30%.
AIG was just the broker providing the contracts between the parties but was not the writer of the contracts.
By example(JPM):
In Billions
$13,000*.57*.119(11.9%) = $881.8 Billion to Lehman’s, WMI, F&F.
You can do this same math for BoA at ~29%.
Too Big To Fail FAILED.
Using WMI/WMB numbers of 1.5 Trillion in RMBS.
JPM exposure;
$1,500*.57*.119 = $101.7 Billion to cover for WMB alone.
Now do the same for BoA.
There is a reason why LIBOR is in litigation.
The numbers/accounting tells us the story.
