Quinn Opportunities Master LP and Quinn Select Opportunities LP Series A, which own more than $119 million of junior preferred stock in the GSEs, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims late last week, and a copy of the complaint it attached to this e-mail message.  Paragraph 45 of the Quinn Complaint details that the GSEs were past the trough in their financial performance prior to the imposition of the Net Worth Sweep, and the complaint goes on to explain how the government nationalized the GSEs and expropriate stockholders' interests in the Enterprises without just compensation.  Quinn is represented by Nancie G. Marzulla and Roger J. Marzulla at Marzulla Law, LLC, in Washington, D.C. 18-01240-0001
