Nov. 15, 2013), the Court decided that “the cloud on the claim” stemming from a preferential payment made to the original claimant continues with the claim, which then could be disallowed.

On Tuesday, the FDIC held the first in a series of proposed roundtable discussions on the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, which is intended to bring transparency to the rulemaking process.
