He'll handle it by telling WCOM to "GFY". We (the share/bagholders) will never see a penny of it.

$400m debt load? Easy: collect $1.5m a year for 267 years. Live long & prosper is his debt plan.

$400 million loan to Ebbers:
There could be grounds for shareholder lawsuits against board members.

The irony is that Ebbers would have been much better off with a forced sale of stock to meet the margin call.
