Default Rumor: WAMU to close Friday

***** URGENT **** Washington Mutual Bank To Close on Friday!
I have just learned from a previously reliable source that Washington Mutual Bank - the sixth largest bank in the USA, has failed and will close this Friday.

Please spread the word immediately.

Exclamation Re: Rumor: WAMU to close Friday

I confirmed with a friend of mine who is a CTO at one of WAMU's vendors. They have NOT been paid the 1 million + they are owed for servicing wamu accounts. This money was due monday after it was already late 2 months. They have ceased servicing wamu accounts as of tuesday. You are right, I confirmed it myself that WAMU is broke. I am not sure if they will close friday but they are done. There is no denying it now. This will crush the fdic fund. This is really starting to get scary!!!!!

I sit here watching that poor kid tumbling down the stairs wondering if he is ever going to find the bottom...

Kinda reminds me of the banking industry right now...

Every time you think it can't get any worse...

Good question. I think I would go ahead and get my food covered and then buy Au. E-Foods direct is shipping in seven days and from what I understand it's pretty good stuff. Or you could go to your local box wholesale (Sams, Costco) and stock up on beanie weanies, spaghettios and canned tuna.

Peace and Love,

You know I've been watching these bank failures for a while. Back in the early 1900's JP Morgan started spreading rumors about the insolvency of the banks which caused a run and put the economy in turmoil. He then gobbled them up for pennies on the dollar. If I'm not mistaken this eventually let to Wilson allowing the central bankers to come in and establish the Federal Reserve. Do any of you think this might be going on here?

Peace and Love,
cosmic

Zorgon the magnificent (very cool avatar!),

We won't stop using mediums of exchange, and metals should serve as trusted mediums when paper burns, happened every time across available recorded His-Story. The paper is mostly on-fire, and as a fire-fighter, it generally reaches point of 'flash-over' and all that we do then is sit back and demo it when it exhausts the fuel supply ...

There is a thread offshoot now started that address this question and the what / where / how of metals at:

Ok, So, here's a silly question... does this mean I don't have to pay my WaMu charge card balance? and to think, I just made a payment... I could've stocked up on some food instead!

At the Bipartisan meeting today, they are saying the plan's will be locked down on Tuesday... President Bush is sending them what needs to be worked out over the weekend.

When the truth was dropped on the room, it was as if the oxygen was sucked out...

no one could breath or speak for over 10 seconds...

a Trillion Dollar Bail out plan...

3 Million homes in foreclosure stages right now, and the adjustable rates are about to change tanking twice as many more...

The Government is about to take on all those foreclosures to take them off of the banks books so they have credit to lend again...

We need large diviersified flea markets, or village markets everywhere.

Just my 2 cents.

It concerns all 1000 banks that would close without it... not just Wamu

not a silly question. I askd myself that same question. I guess people with WaMu charge cards should continue to pay their bill.
