Washington Mutual Inc. Shareholder Requests Equity Committee In Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case

June 6th, 2009

For Immediate Release
Michael Rozenfeld, a Washington Mutual Inc. stockholder has requested that the Department of Justice revisit a previous request for an Equity Committee in the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy case of Washington Mutual Inc. Michael previously filed a request for an Equity Committee November 10, 2008, shortly after the seizure of Washington Mutual Bank and numerous subsidiaries. That request was denied on January 9, 2009, after a brief investigation and review by Joseph J. McMahon Jr., Department of Justice. The primary reason it appears to have been denied was that anticipated lawsuits had not been filed yet, and the WMI assets were less than their liabilities. Mr. McMahon stated at that time, that the request for an Equity Committee could be revisited at some future point.

In the November request, Michael had conjectured that lawsuits would be filed against the FDIC and JPMorgan. Those lawsuits have since been filed, but there is no resolution of them as yet. Shareholders are very positive about a favorable resolution of those suits but are concerned there may not be enough time to organize an official Equity Committee to protect the shareholders when resolution is reached. WMI appears to be in negotiations regarding this, based on a review of the attorney bills on file in the Bankruptcy Court in Delaware. Judge Mary Walrath is presiding over that case.

Michael is a member of the Washington Mutual Equity Group, which could be considered an ad hoc Equity Committee. It currently consists of approximately 500 members, and Michael made the current request on their behalf. Getting an Equity Committee is the sole purpose of that organization. Their website is www.WaMuEquity.org. Shareholders and the general public are encouraged to visit that website to get more information on the seizure and Equity Committees. Another popular shareholder website is www.wamustory.com where a plethora of official documents regarding the seizure and sale can be found.

The reason for an Equity Committee is to protect shareholder interests in the resolution of the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy that was filed. Currently the shareholders are not formally protected. Many shareholders have modified their holdings to include shares of WAHUQ, WAMPQ, WAMKQ and WAMUQ, in an attempt to protect themselves at least partially. The company\’s net cash flow for April was 48.8 million.

Bankruptcy is not Dead

February 23rd, 2008

Bankruptcy is still an available option to most Americans in financial difficulty. Creditors can be stopped, and foreclosures can be prevented.

Recent changes in the Bankruptcy Laws and the publicity associated with them has led many to believe that Bankruptcy is no longer available as a means of avoiding unbearable debt. This is not true.

In 2005, Congress passed sweeping legislation, sponsored by the Consumer Credit industry, which changed the requirements for seeking Bankruptcy relief. Since the 2005 amendments to the Bankruptcy Code there has been a lot of misinformation regarding the accessibility of the Bankruptcy Courts for Americans in financial difficulty. But Bankruptcy is not dead.

In fact, today, most Americans in financial difficulty can still use the Bankruptcy Courts for protection. There are two ways to establish your eligibility for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy.

One way to establish eligibility for a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is to show that the household’s income, for six months, is less than the national median income for the same size household (adjusted for each state). Of course, many households in America make less than the median income while a similar number make more than the median income.

For those households that make more than the median, there is a second test to establish eligibility for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. However, the second test is more complicated. The second eligibility test is based upon whether most of the household’s income is needed for the necessities of life. Many American households, today, use all of their income, and more, for the necessities of life. This second test, therefore, affords eligibility to many households which make more, sometimes much more, than the national median income.

We find that more than 75% of the individuals that consult with us regarding Bankruptcy protection are eligible under the 2005 Amendments to the Bankruptcy Code. This, of course, requires a careful analysis by an experienced Bankruptcy Lawyer.

Before the law was changed in 2005 many lawyers and paralegals dabbled in Bankruptcy. Today, many of those lawyers and paralegals will not. The State Bar of California, Board of Legal Specialization certifies the competency of Bankruptcy Specialists so that a client seeking the advice of a Bankruptcy Specialists can be certain that the chosen lawyer is competent to protecting their interests.

In these troubled financial times there is one portion of the Bankruptcy Code, which specifically affords protection for people under the threat of foreclosure. Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code allows for homeowners to stop foreclosure proceedings and force their lenders to allow sixty months to pay back arrearages. This is just the relief that many American Households need.

Here too, the eligibility for a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is something that should only be analyzed by an experienced Bankruptcy Lawyer. The specific financial facts for each individual must be review in determining whether Bankruptcy is a good idea. But, it is still available and makes good sense for many financially troubled Americans.

Bankruptcy is not dead but alive and well as a tool in the hands of an experienced lawyer to protect valuable assets and financial well-being.
