The devil is probably in the details. You're right that it's far from clear who will/should get something. For instance, take my case. I actually made money by buying just before one of the bounces (but after BR was announced), then quickly selling. Suppose I held the shares on some magic date? Suppose the maneuver I just described merely mitigated other WCOM losses? Are there really enough lawyers in the world to sort through all the equities & inequities possible in this fiasco? JMHO, of course. Charles Tutt (SM)

Unsettling to me that not only the common shareholders, but THE BONDHOLDERS seem to be in for the "sweetened" settlement, according to reports I read. Not very sweet, if you ask me. I thought the bondholders, as creditors, already had their thumbs in the bankruptcy pie. Pls post if you come across details, which are still not forthcoming. Without Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, even this would not have happened. They deserve some thanks. But the settlement is still garbage. Speaking as one who was burned...
