Federal Regulators Swoop in and Seize IndyMac
Second-largest bank takeover in U.S. history Citing a run by depositors on the California mortgage lender, which left them short on cash, federal regulators rushed in and took over IndyMac. It's the second largest seizure of a financial institution in U.S. history, behind Continental Illinois in 1984. The consequences of the seizure are more money will need to be raised to shore up the FDIC program, which is the backup plan if a bank fails. According to a statement by the FDIC, the failure of readIndymac Bank Taken Over by the FDIC
The second largest bank failure in the history of the U.S. means about 1 billion in lost deposits held by 10,000 customers as reported by CNN Money. Accordingly, the Indymac website has a new look. The LA Times has pictures of customers lining up outside the bank, looking inside and here’s a picture of employees loading up their car with brown cardboard boxes. Just before their demise, Indymac was offering high rates for their Certificates of Deposit. The LA Times asks an interesting questio readIndyMac’ers – How can I help?
I know some old friends from IndyMac read sometimes my blog. If you need some help, references, support, shoulder to cry on, etc, please feel free to contact me… Email me, or call me at home (I’m still in the same place as when I worked there…plus I’m in the book). For the rest of you reading this who haven’t heard, this link pretty much says it all. In short, IndyMac has “failed” and been taken over by the FDIC. This is the second largest bank failure in US history… Say readGot your canned goods?

The Wall Street Journal: IndyMac Bank, a prolific mortgage specialist that helped fuel the housing boom, was seized Friday by federal regulators, in the third-largest bank failure in U.S. history. IndyMac is the biggest mortgage lender to go under since a fall in housing prices and surge in defaults began rippling through the economy last year — and it likely won’t be the last. Banking regulators are bracing for a slew of failures over the next year as analysts say housing prices have yet to read

This probably the largest press release I have ever seen - or at least since I have been at Gaming Today. Normally they are pretty much short, to the point, and padded with overly positive and glowing quotes regarding just how fabulous the announcement is to them or how wonderful it is to work with so and so. I wonder if we will ever get a press release that includes quotes from people who hated to work with one another? For example: “Bob was drunk all the time and kept playing grab-ass with read[E3 2008] EA Details Massive E3 Game Lineup
