  1. Given above, is anyone aware of the tax treatment of "uninsured" losses? As we could be held in the lurch for ? years until the book is closed on outstanding debt, are we locked up on our returns re: offsetting gains with these likely lost funds.
    Thanks

  4. Uninsured Depositors of IndyMac are first in priority to be made whole even before FDIC gets a dime. As FDIC has gotten $14 Billion for IndyMac after putting in $9 Billion, $5 Billion should be enough to cover $270 Million (50% owed to uninsured depositors)
