 This board is for discussion of Washington Mutual Inc (WMI) preferred K shares.

 Just Before The Theft:     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0OaEofs-2I

Night of The Theft:     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ojK_9pKpKs&feature=related

From Wikipedia

On September 25, 2008, the United States Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) seized Washington Mutual Bank from Washington Mutual, Inc. and placed it into the receivership of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The OTS took the action due to the withdrawal of $16.4 billion in deposits, during a 10-day bank run (amounting to 9% of the deposits it had held on June 30, 2008)  The FDIC sold the banking subsidiaries (minus unsecured debt or equity claims) to JPMorgan Chase for $1.9 billion, which reopened the bank's offices the next day as JPMorgan Chase branches. The holding company, Washington Mutual, Inc. was left with $33 billion assets, and $8 billion debt, after being stripped of its banking subsidiary by the FDIC.  The next day, September 26, Washington Mutual, Inc. filed for Chapter 11 voluntary bankruptcy in Delaware, where it is incorporated.Washington Mutual Bank's closure and receivership is the largest bank failure in American financial history.  Before the receivership action, it was the sixth-largest bank in the United States.  According to Washington Mutual Inc.'s 2007 SEC filing, the holding company held assets valued at $327.9 billion.On 20 March 2009, Washington Mutual Inc. filed suit against the FDIC in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, seeking damages of approximately $13 billion for what they claim to be an unjustified seizure and an extremely low sale price to JPMorgan Chase. JPMorgan Chase promptly filed a counterclaim in the Federal Bankruptcy Court in Delaware, where the Washington Mutual bankruptcy proceedings had been continuing since the Office of Thrift Supervision's seizure of the holding company's bank subsidiaries.

       The Flush and Flow Team

The Sheila Bair disgrace sequence

 1).  Sheila Bair rings Jamie Dimon and suggests to him that she might confiscate the assets of Washington Mutual.  She says that Jamie should prepare a bid. 

2).  One week later the Office of Thrift Supervision signs a memorandum of understanding with WaMu saying that WaMu does not need to raise capital or increase liquidity.

3).  Sheila Bair forces WaMu to get investment bankers in who will do due diligence.

4).  The investment bankers talk down WaMu for weeks in press and cause a minor run. 

5).  The OTS seizes WaMu without any real indication to the management that this was going to happen and sells it to her hand-picked banker (Jamie Dimon).  The deal is irrevocable.  In the process she puts the fear-of-government in all the intermediate holders of US Bank finance.  This exacerbates the crisis.

6).  The WaMu deal causes a panic at Wachovia.  There was no panic at Wachovia prior to this - though Wachovia stock is justifiably weak.

7).  On Sheila's timetable a deal has to be done for Wachovia in three days.

8).  Sheila decides that no deal can be done without government support and she offers that support.  Wells Fargo has simply told her they need more time.  Having done due diligence on a small bank I can assure you three days is not enough for a large bank unless the Government is going to give you large warranties.  Sheila created a timetable that forced the government into a deal that was potentially bad for taxpayers.

9).  A few more days and the deal turns up that doesn't cost taxpayers anything.  Sheila however has staked her reputation on the prior deal and defends her prior behaviour.

I have argued that Sheila should be sacked.  I think that is pretty obvious now.

But someone on Wall Street has a better idea.  It is in this photo:
