Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac shareholders may finally get some modest compensation for FHFA’s decision to allow Treasury to seize all of the profits of the government-sponsored enterprises.

Now that Judge Lamberth has issued his memorandum and order, the litigants can prepare for the (inevitable?) appeal.

Despite winning a massive jury award in August, GSE shareholders are still squabbling with the government over how those damages should be distributed.

The GSEs’ shareholders racked up one win and one loss last week in their legal battle to overturn the net worth sweep.

A federal district court adds interest to the damages a jury awarded Fannie Mae shareholders in August.

A jury in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia this week handed GSE shareholders their first major win in their effort to recover some of their investment in Freddie and Fannie stocks.

After a hung jury, shareholders will head back to court for a second chance at proving FHFA was in breach of contract when it agreed to the net worth sweep with Treasury.

A deadlocked jury means the GSE shareholder lawsuit is probably destined for a new trial. But it will likely be in the same courtroom.

Collins, Fairholme and Rop — all cases where shareholders seek to reverse the net worth sweep of GSE profits — may soon end up in front of juries.

In what is likely to be the last legal wranglings in Fairholme v. FHFA before its long-awaited jury trial begins, Judge Lamberth dealt Fannie/Freddie shareholders a modest defeat.
