WaMu's Home Loan Biz Led to Bank's Failure

WaMu's Home Loan Biz Led to Bank's Failure

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. seized Washington Mutual Inc., one of the country's biggest banks, and then sold the Seattle-based thrift's banking assets to JPMorgan Chase & Co. for $1.9 billion.

Because of WaMu's heavy mortgage-related losses and other risky debt, JPMorgan will write down the thrift's loan portfolio by roughly $31 billion, a figure that could change if the federal bailout plan is enacted and JPMorgan opts into it.

Problems in WaMu's home loan business became evident as far back as 2006, when the division recorded losses of $48 million versus net income of approximately $1 billion a year earlier.
