Washington Post – A Delaware bankruptcy judge on Wednesday granted Washington Mutual Inc.’s request that she consider throwing out portions of a September ruling that gave some creditors permission to pursue claims of insider trading by several hedge funds, who are also WaMu creditors.
WaMu and supporting creditors argued that an agreement on its latest reorganization plan depends on Judge Mary Walrath removing language regarding the insider trading allegations from the September ruling, in which she rejected Washington Mutual’s proposed reorganization plan for a second time.
