Avi writes to FDIC and gets the following exchange:

Avi:  I sent an email to the FDIC about getting any dividends from INDYMAC and
this was their response

Linda:  You will need to wait  and hope.  I don’t know if you can take the loss off
your taxes or  not.  You will need to talk to a CPA or your tax advisor.
No one you  can write to.  The assets have to be sold in order to recover
funds to pay  the uninsured depositors.  FDIC is still selling  assets.

Avi:  Linda thanks for a  prompt response.What should I do as an uninsured
depositor?  Do I just wait  and hope?  Is there any way I can at least gain tax
benefits from  this?  Is there anyone I can write to and see if the FDIC can
further help  us?

Linda:  At this time we do not  have a dividend scheduled for the rest of the year.
One West did not  purchase all of the assets of IndyMac.  We still have
assets we have to  liquidate.
