Ein wilder gegenseitiger Verklagungswettkampf findet derzeit statt zwischen JPMorgan und der übriggebliebenen Holding von Washington Mutual.
Hiess es bis vor einigen Tagen:
JPMorgan sues Washington Mutual over $13 billion case

So wird jetzt sofort zurückgeschossen mit pikanten Details, wie sie hoffentlich noch in zahlreicher Form an die Öffentlichkeit geraten werden. Die WaMu Holding behauptet, ihr stünden noch 4 Milliarden zu aus Konten der von JP Morgan für nur 1, 9 Milliarden übernommenen Washington Mutual Bank:
Washington Mutual Sues JPMorgan To Recover $4 Billion In Deposits
WaMu has had enough and has filed a suit against JPM, trying to recover its $4 billion in deposits. WaMu, claims the money is being held by its former subsidiary, Washington Mutual Bank, which JPMorgan bought for $1.9 billion last year (not a bad deal if we may say so ourselves: you buy $1 for less than 50 cents on the follar, with the FDIC guaranteeing any potential losses on the transaction). Seattle-based Washington Mutual has been trying to recover the money since filing for bankruptcy in September.
JPMorgan has declined to return the money, saying it may have a claim on the funds itself and that it cannot give Washington Mutual the money without receiving a so-called set-off right from the bankruptcy court, according to court papers filed by WaMu. The set-off would ensure JPMorgan is paid for any claims it has against WaMu.
