<p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><strong><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Yesterday I wrote regarding the above subject and will include a copy of the  letter in this correspondence that follows.</span></strong></span></p>

<p><strong>WE THE DEPOITORS, CREATED THE BUSINESS&#8217;S, THE JOBS AND THE CAPITAL, AND THEN  INTRUSTED OUR MONIES INTO BANKS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REGULATED AS REQUIRED BY  LAW. AND BECAUSE THE AGENCIES DID NOT WATCH OVER THE BANKS AS IS REQUIRED BY  LAW, (THE BANKS, THE BROKERS, MORTGAGE BUYERS WERE ALLOWED TO BREAK THESE LAWS)  WHICH CAUSED CAUSED THE FAILURE AT INDYMAC.</strong></p>
<p><strong>And when this failure at Inidymac occured it became appearant to the  government that the FDIC coverage of 100K was not sufficient and should be  permanantly changed to 250K per eligible account/depositor.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Therefore it would only be just to make the new coveerageage retroactive to  cover the Indymac depositors.</strong></p>
<p><strong>If you and others vote yes to do this ( using TARP) monies I promise to put  the monies back into the economy.</strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>A Plea for help !!!</strong></span></span></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Not only was I an Indymac depositor (for business use &amp; for personal  future retirement savings) who lost 167,000.00 in monies deemed uninsured,</p>
<p>- but I was a small business owner, whom has started 5 successful different  business over</p>
<p>over the last 30 plus years and whom has created and employed 100+ workers  over that</p>
<p>time frame.</p>
<p>- as a result i have had to close my current businesses and can no longer  employ workers.</p>
<p>- I have never asked for or taken ( nor would I ) any public assistance or  government monies</p>
<p>of any kind nor would I.</p>
<p>- I and my wife now drive a 16 year old van and clip coupons and sell things  on ebay to get by.</p>
<p>- As required by law, i I have declared &amp; paid taxes on interest earned  on paper</p>
<p>( Principal and Interest on monies that I have not and will never see ).</p>
<p>Kind of Ironic, that you have to pay taxes on Interest credited to an an  account whose</p>
<p>balance was reduced by 167,000.00 ( which was more than 10x the amount of  interest earned)</p>
<p><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><strong>- </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Before opening the account I  was told by Indymac supervisor and also by a supervisor</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>at the FDIC (whom i called prior) that I plus all named ITF (in trust  for&#8217;s) would each</strong></p>
<p><strong>receive 100k insurance coverage. Unfortunately this is incorrect, (as  i learned from a </strong></p>
<p><strong>newly created FDIC calculator program that did not exist prior) when  the person whose</strong></p>
<p><strong>account it is names ITF&#8217;s then that person no longer counts as one of  the names eligible</strong></p>
<p><strong>for for 100k insurance coverage.</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><strong>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>- And some how by sheer luck the buyers of the indymac bank paid a  price equal to an amount that just covered the 50% advance paid out to  depositors. How would FDIC officals know immediately after taking over the bank  how much they would be able to seell it for. </strong></p>
<p><strong>- And then the new owners (whose paid and put up pennies on thee  dollar) were given a cap of 20% losses on any non-performing loans whereby the  govt would pay an additional losses. </strong></p>
<p><strong>- so if the govt was guaranteeing 80-90% of the asset value why were  depositors only given 50% and then told there would be no more monies paid  out.</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><strong>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>&#8211; the FDIC agenicies that are supposed to watch over banks were  asleep and corrupt (in telling Indymac to falsify deposit records) which  directly allowed thee greedy/corrupt bankers and mortgage brokers to line their  pockets which commissions</strong></p>
<p><strong>on inflated asset value&#8230;.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8212; Then the govt rewarded those with mortgages who got in over their  heads, reducing their interest to near zero and extending their payments out as  much as 40 years.</strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8212; The govt also reward first time home buyers with an 8000 tax  credit, that should go to all home buyers</strong></p>
<p><strong>It should not have gone to just first time home buyers since they are  the ones with the least credit who got themselves into</strong></p>
<p><strong>crazy mortgages with variable rates&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>The govt also then bailed out insurance companies who owned thesee  assets and were suppoosed to be in part responsible </strong></p>
<p><strong>for mortgage insurance on 1st and 2ndmortgages&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><strong>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>WE THE DEPOITORS CREDITED THE BUSINESS&#8217;S, THE JOBS AND THE CAPITAL,  AND THEN INTRUSTED OUR MONIES INTO BANKS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REGULATED AS  REQUIRED BY LAW. AND BECAUSE THE AGENCIES DID NOT WATCH OVER THE BANKS AS IS  REQUIRED BY LAW, (THE BANKS, THE BROKERS, MORTGAGE BUYERS WERE ALLOWED TO BREAK  THESE LAWS) WHICH CAUSED CAUSED THE FAILURE AT INDYMAC.</strong></p>
<p><strong>And when this failure at Inidymac occured it became appearant to the  government that the FDIC coverage of 100K was not</strong></p>
<p><strong>sufficient and should be permanantly changed to 250K per eligible  account/depositor. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Therefore it would only be just to make the new coveerageage  retroactive to cover the Indymac depositors.</strong></p>
