If the initial loan is totally void because of these factors, then everything stemming from it is void too. If it’s null and void, the parties are supposed to return the original assets to one another...

In that scenario, I—for instance—would have already paid back the entire amount to the bank before the conversion even happened, and now I'm paying off a second loan used to close out the converted one... basically, I'd be paying back way more than what should be required if the loan were actually void.

Now, what our legal experts with actual proven expertise will come up with? That remains to be seen...

I'm actually in the exact same boat. About 13 years ago, I took out a loan in dollars for the same amount I needed to pay off the converted credit, which means when you factor in everything I've paid over these last 13 years, I've basically handed them the whole thing right from the start.
What I'm really wondering about is whether anyone is actually working on the math to figure out if filing a lawsuit is even worth the trouble. I also completely agree that joining a class-action suit with someone else who took out a mortgage back in 2005 at Bank of America would probably be the smartest move, assuming the conditions were the same.

I didn't spot any cameras at all, and I didn't even notice any press photographers hanging around, though I'm sure they were there somewhere. It probably just wasn't flashy enough for the major networks to care about, and the news sites didn't really make much of a fuss about the show either.
All things considered, the media coverage was pretty lackluster, but honestly, those who wanted to be there showed up, and if you actually attended the concert, you don't really need a review from someone who was just assigned to write a story without truly understanding the musician's soul—unless they're one of those rare exceptions, of course.
As for me, since I have a phone with a pretty decent camera, I managed to record a few clips so I can revisit the highlights and really soak in the details whenever I want.

I always seem to miss the boat when it comes to jumping into the concert discussions, but I figured I’d better weigh in with my own little perspective, especially since I feel I’ve earned the right to talk about Jean-Michel Jarre after spending my days back in 1976 hunched over an old turntable—which, for the younger crowd out there, wasn't some fancy high-end setup, but pretty much the only way to experience music back then—just absolutely devouring every single note of Oxygene from sunrise to sunset. Of course, that obsession just rolled right along through Equinoxe and Magnetic Fields, all the way up to today where I mostly catch his work online. As for the setlist, it was what it was, though if you ask me, it felt very carefully curated, almost like a definitive "best of" collection. Given how massive his body of work is and how incredibly specific his fanbase can be, I doubt we could ever actually get everyone in one room to agree on a single wishlist for a setlist.
What really matters to me, though, is that I finally got to see him live, even if I am a bit late to the party, because it honestly transported me back to those days of eagerly anticipating his arrival while huddled around club sound systems just to watch his concerts on screen, particularly that legendary show in Houston.

Someone mentioned during the intro that it would be amazing if Mike Oldfield were to perform too, and I have to say, I’m right there with them, since those two were hands down my absolute favorite musicians throughout the 70s and 80s.
