Preview of governments defense in Collins? https://twitter.com/IMFpubs/status/1471170438533468166?s=20

If true seems extremely weak:

1) That isn't event relevant to the damages analysis laid out by SCOTUS (should just come down to, di Trump want to fire Watt or not and was he restricted from doing so).

2) Even if it was relevant, the statement is 100% false. Trump COULDN'T stop the sweep by directing Mnuchin on his own to do it. Needed both parties to tango and if Watt says no, the Sweep doesnt stop.

Christian,

1. Are the Collin's Plaintiffs mainly Preferred or Common Stock holders?

2. Should the 5th Circuit decide the case in favor of the plaintiffs, do you have an opinion as to which shareholders might yield a better return, the Commons or Preferred Stock holders? And possibly, why?

Thanks for your insightful writings.

ROLG, regarding ‘proving’ they would have accomplished a RnR, wouldn’t they just have to show that they would have been further down the path? Thanks
