Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Transactions Disclosure [Text Block] | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS As noted in previous filings, DCI Commercial, Inc. (“DCI”), a former affiliate of the Company and formerly known as Dynex Commercial, Inc., was named a party to several lawsuits in 1999 and 2000 regarding the activities of DCI while it was an operating subsidiary of an affiliate of the Company. In certain instances, the Company was also a party to the lawsuit due to its affiliation with DCI. In December 2000, the Company and DCI entered into a Litigation Cost Sharing Agreement whereby the parties set forth how the costs of defending against such litigation would be shared, and whereby the Company agreed to advance DCI's portion of the costs of defending against such litigation. The Company is no longer a defendant in any litigation related to the activities of DCI. In 2013, in the conclusion of litigation that was tried in 2004, plaintiffs in that case (the “DCI Plaintiffs”) were awarded a judgment of $26.5 million against DCI (the “DCI Judgment”). In 2014, third parties were awarded a judgment against certain of the DCI Plaintiffs in a matter not involving the Company or DCI. Those parties are now pursuing a garnishment action against the DCI Judgment. Those parties have requested from the Company certain information related to DCI while it was an operating subsidiary of an affiliate of the Company and certain other information related to the activities of DCI. The Litigation Cost Sharing Agreement remained in effect as of December 31, 2016. DCI costs advanced by the Company are loans and bear simple interest at the rate of Prime plus 8.0% per annum. The Company's advances to cover DCI's costs during the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 were $173, $228, and $237, respectively. The total amount due to the Company under the Litigation Cost Sharing Agreement including interest was $10,240 as of December 31, 2016 compared to $9,630 as of December 31, 2015. Because DCI does not currently have any assets, the amount due as of December 31, 2016 has been fully reserved for collectibility by the Company. DCI is currently wholly owned by a company unaffiliated with the Company. An executive of the Company is the sole shareholder of this unaffiliated company.
